I'm wanting to give my blog a little makeover but can't decide which way I want to go... so please pardon me while I figure it out. In the meantime here's some designs I've been playing at for fabric over at spoonflower. This first one is for the next contest, theme "candles". And the bears (which I'm kind of in love with!) evolved from that.
I've discovered if I paint only the actual objects in the design & leave the background white, it's super easy to color only the background & make a seamless repeat... 
YOUR ART ALWAYS HAS A HAPPY-GO-LUCKY FEEL. I LIKE THE JOYFUL, FREE-SPIRITEDNESS (WORD?) OF IT. YOU SEEM LIKE SOMEONE WHO REMEMBERS THEIR CHILDHOOD. YOU SEEM SO LINKED TO IT STILL AND SOME OF US, ALTHOUGH WE DON'T MEAN TO, HAVE LET THAT SLIP AWAY. GOOD REMINDER TO NOT FORGET OUR PLAYFUL SPIRIT AND FUN TO LOOK AT TOO. LOVE YOUR REVAMPING. THAT IN ITSELF HAS TO BE FUN. . . SORRY HAVEN'T SIGNED JAMIE OLIVER'S PETITION YET BUT WANT TO SAY HE IS DOING AN AMAZING THING FOR THE KIDS. THEY REALLY DO NEED SAVING!! LET US KNOW WHEN TO GO VOTE FOR YOUR WORK AT SPOONFLOWER (?).
ReplyDeletethanku ...i guess i've embraced the fact lately that my artwork comes out very childlike... maybe it's because i have kids now, but i'ts what i feel like expressing --a sense of wonder hopefully ...thanks for the comment :)
