a painting that i had been working on just last week.  i guess i’ve sort of had feathers on my mind for awhile now.

as you may know from past blog posts i’ve attempted to have fabric printed with my patterns with less than stellar results. i’m so happy to say i’ve found a company who can accommodate a small business (ie. no huge minimums) and offers a large range of organic fabrics and uses eco-friendly printing methods to boot!

i had two patterns printed on a really nice organic cotton and i’m delighted with the way they turned out.  you can only see one of the prints in the photo below so you’ll just have to trust me that the coordinating pattern is cute as well :)  these are coming with me to the gifted market this weekend and if i have any left i’ll be posting them in the shop next week.

a new design. i think i’m going to color it in but i kind of like it just black and white.

i listed some new items in the shop today.

this one’s a little different for me.  it’s got a banana republic, career-wear sort of vibe that i don’t usually do.

the beginnings of something i’m working on -

i’m getting ready to pack up my things and head to philadelphia.  this saturday and sunday i’ll be participating in art star craft bazaar.  i’ve never done this show before and i’m really excited!  it’s help at penn’s landing which is a really beautiful spot right on the water.  fingers crossed for no rain.  i’ll post photos from the show at the beginning of next week.

also, i decided to take those spoonflower swatches i had printed and make magnets out of them.  i think they look pretty cute and i’m happy i was able to use the fabric for something.  i’m going to bring them to the show with me and any that i have left over i’ll post in my shop next week.

these are some new designs that i’ve sent to spoonflower to have printed on fabric.  i ordered 8″ square samples for now so i can see how the color prints.  i’ll post the actual swatches when i receive them.

browsing the anthropologie website today i was really loving the diamond and lattice i noticed throughout the site.
