Design and Print Custom Fabric on Demand

[caption id="attachment_413" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="My Final design"][/caption] I have been working on a few new textile designs. I create my designs with an end product in mind. Recently, I have been creating decorative throw pillows suitable for kids rooms. Once I am satisfied with a design, I make a sample print on my home printer and I use that print to create a 'mock up' of the throw pillow. If I am satisfied with the product, I will get the the fabric professionally printed at www.spoonflower.com. Last week I came across a site that allowed me to skip a few...

The Way My Mind Works

Psst, I have a secret. I am going to reveal my design process for the pillow pictured below. Here goes... Create your characters as a separate file - that way you can use them over and over. [caption id="attachment_316" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="Summer Fun"][/caption] I was washing my car and my son kept getting in the way, so I turned the hose on him. My niece found it hilarious, so she grabbed the hose and joined in on the  fun.

Pretty Painted Butterflies

My best friend's daughter is turning 7 this week  and I was thinking of making her some earrings from some butterfly Swarovski crystals that I have been saving for the occasion. But last Friday she called and told me that she wanted me to make her something pretty for her new room - they just moved to a new home - I was more than happy to do it, in fact, I had a design that was inspired by her.

Pay Back

When I was younger, I loved jumping on on my bed. I bugged my parents, so naturally, I continued doing it - but then, I became a parent and it was time for payback, because my son took pleasure in leaping on his bed, over his bed, off his bed, you name it he was doing it - and he invited his friends to join in. [caption id="attachment_143" align="alignnone" width="360" caption="Jumping Over the bed  "][/caption] I designed this pillow several years ago especially for Matthew. He is a teenager now and no longer jumps on the bed, but I must...

Animal Prints

Typically my textile designs feature children or animals playing out side. My color palette is always bright and cheerful. Last week I decide to try something a bit different  - but I wanted to stay true to my vibrant color palette. [caption id="attachment_118" align="alignnone" width="405" caption="Zebra pillow"][/caption] Imagine it sitting on your chair, couch , love seat or on your bed - better yet, imagine it in you kid's room, its perfect for a boy or girl - OK , I am rambling. [caption id="attachment_123" align="alignnone" width="360" caption="Insert chair here"][/caption] Here is my version of a Giraffe print - note...
