The carousel animals from the December 2022 calendar page (process post here) are now available as fabric and wallpaper on my Spoonflower shop (as well as on Redbubble). The samples above are on Celosia Velvet (left) and Petal Cotton — and grasscloth wallpaper.
Enchanted Carousel — Turquoise
I really like the texture of the grasscloth wallpaper!
These designs are also up on my Redbubble store as prints, cases, bags, shirts, etc:
Samples have arrived from Spoonflower, which means the enchanted forests and skeleton orchestra designs are now available as fabrics and wallpaper!
This grasscloth wallpaper is gorgeous, by the way — extraordinarily textured and very crisp.
I highly recommend ordering swatches first. Spoonflower has a variety of fabrics and wallpapers, which means colours can print subtly differently — for example, the cottons tend to be a bit more muted, the velvets are more saturated (and the Celosia velvet brings out yellow tones), while the wallpapers have crisp lines on a range of textures.
You can find them all at my Spoonflower shop — and as well as allowing you to buy lengths, Spoonflower also offers some pre-sewn bed and table linens. (And for other objects, there’s Redbubble.)
For the next two days (until the end of 21 August ET), Spoonflower is offering 30% off all wallpaper.
You can find mine here (along with fabric): Tanaudel.
And if you’re not in the mood for wallpaper but do like Art On Things, you can also find my work on Redbubble (all sorts of things) and InPrnt (prints).
There will be some new images on Spoonflower in a few weeks, too — I’m waiting for the test swatches to arrive.
The fabric samples have arrived, which means I can now offer the repeating pattern of wildflowers by the yard on fabric (and wallpapers) from Spoonflower: Wandering Wildflowers. It’s always a good idea to order a test swatch, first — what comes up a lovely slate-blue on cotton goes into a deep saturated golden-green on velvet (although I do like them both!).
If you don’t sew, Spoonflower does offer some pre-made home furnishings and masks.
The pattern is also up on Redbubble, on a variety of books, garments, etc.
My sample swatches have arrived, so the unicorn fabric (from the May calendar) is now available on fabrics from Spoonflower: Twilight unicorns. (If you don’t sew, it’s also up on various clothes, stationery, masks, etc on Redbubble).
It’s always worth getting sample swatches first, because fabrics hold colours so differently. Here there’s a lovely twilight woodcut-blue on the Petal Signature Cotton, and a fascinating green-blue, the marine of evening, on the shimmery Celosia Velvet.
My Go-Betweens design is now up on Spoonflower as fabric and wallpaper — my 8×8″ swatches of Celosia Velvet, Silky Faille, and cotton just arrived this week.
It’s a repeating design based on the April 2020 calendar illustration, and was already up on Redbubble on various things (prints, cushions, shirts, etc).
You can find it (and other designs) by swatch, fat quarter, or yard(s) in my Spoonflower shop.
I mentioned previously that the mermaid design (for the September calendar) was up on Redbubble (t-shirst, phone cases, etc). It is in two colourways: the simple white background and the repeating green design.
Now I have also received my test prints from Spoonflower (print on demand fabrics), and the designs are up there too in three options: Green background; white background; and no lines (rather impressionistic, would work well for backgrounds/lining).
Here they are, with my feet for scale.
And I ordered a doona/duvet cover from Redbubble. The printed layer has a beautiful silky cottony feeling – it was meant to be for the spare bedroom but I might keep it for myself. Shown here with books and sofa cushion for scale – it’s quite a large print.
This week’s pictures from Twitter etc
I have worked the ravens from January’s calendar into a repeating design of birds, stars and feathers. Pattern-making is something I’ve wanted to do more of, and it’s a lot easier to arrange existing images than to draw new things when laid out with a bad back!
They are now up on Spoonflower as fabric, wallpaper and wrapping paper – I’ve ordered a sample and will show more detail when that arrives.
They are also on Redbubble on shirts, notebooks, phone covers and other such items. I’m eyeing off a duvet cover.
I really am rather happy with these fellows.
I’ve been learning to stitch a rolled-hem for two shawls I’ve wanted to make for some time. A few people have asked for the designs, so I’ve made them public on my Spoonflower page.
The first is the cover art for Midnight and Moonshine (print it centred across two yards):
The other is “Round Eternal”, one of the pieces for the art show last month (print it centred on one yard for a square scarf):
