This week’s Spoonflower Design challenge had me researching flora in Australia, which is really interesting to see the different plant life from my own home in Kansas.

I have a new color palette for my sea urchin pattern in mermaid hues. I actually received this request from a customer. I am always open to hear color requests or scale changes just fill out my contact form and we can work out a solution.

Spring Rains are here and the inspiration for this week’s Spoonflower Design Challenge. I even referenced my favorite umbrella that is covered in taxis and the other umbrellas feature spring flowers that pop up after a good week of rain.

I firmly believe that it is important to keep learning and furthering your skills and knowledge to grow as a business and as an individual. New pattern from a a work process I learned from skillshare.

Our latest pattern reminds me of the sunflower fields of Kansas and a warm pink sunset setting over the field.

I love dabbling in lettering and procreate makes it easy to try new styles on the go with less equipment. It took a few days but i finished a little lettering project just for fun and to promote positivity: The Future is Bright.

Kansas is completely land locked and far from the ocean to get inspired for this week’s Spoonflower Design Challenge I had fun flipping through my natural history books and became inspired by the beauty of sea urchins. I created these designs as somewhat abstracted sea urchins and this would make a great pattern for curtains or pillow cases.

My “When Pigs Fly” pattern was going to be my submission last week to the Spoonflower design challenge, but when the peacock inspiration struck me I just made this available in my print on demand shops instead. I love how this could look in a nursery, but I love whimsical quirky things so I could also see me using a phone case or sticker with this art.

Two fun new patterns are available in our shops, and they couldn’t be anymore different. One is light and whimsical “When Pigs Fly” and the design submission for this week’s Spoonflower Design Challenge is a moody peacock in the forest.

Big News! Spoonflower has listed me in their Designer Spotlight today and I am featured with 3 very talented women. Thank you so much for your support Spoonflower community.
