Jardin Loco

I've been a busy girl, I really have to get back to blogging more! Mid-summer vacation time is over, the super-hot weather is creeping in, and I'm back at my desk "working" away on new ideas, doodles, and patterns in the comfort of air conditioning. When you do what you love for your job, it's never really like "work" at all :))

This pattern is named "Jardin Loco", which means "Crazy Garden" in Spanish. I named it that because of all of the bright colors and wildly patterned flowers, typical in my designwork lately. Hope that you like it! All of these patterns repeat, so I think I'll put them on sale at Spoonflower. I'll keep you posted.

If you want to Pinterest any of my artwork or photography, please attach a link to this blog and give me credit. If you don't, I will find you and hurt you ;)

Thanks for voting for my design!

I just wanted to say a big "thank you" for voting for my Spoonflower contest design. This was my first time entering, and I placed 28th out of 375. Not too shabby, folks! Again, thanks very much for taking the time out of your busy lives to do this :)

Here was my original post about it...

My Spoonflower contest entry

I just want to let you know that I've entered a fabric design contest on Spoonflower's website, and I need a bit of your help...to vote for my design!  Spoonflower makes it possible for individuals to design, print and sell their own fabric designs. They also have some really nifty and fun design contests and challenges.

The theme of this contest is a fabric design consisting of geometric shapes that use only two colors (with the option of using white as a 3rd color):

This is what my entry looks like. The title is "Flower_Power_Groove-01 by groovity"

Please use this link to vote. You can vote for as many as you like.  I'm not sure what page it will be on, you'll have to scroll through to find it! They shuffle them. http://www.spoonflower.com/contest_voters/new?contest_id=142

I really appreciate you taking the time to vote for my design! THANKS!

My Spoonflower Contest Entry for Geometric, Palette-Limited

I just entered one of Spoonflower's weekly contests. It's a really cool site, you can design your own patterns, upload them, and actually get them printed out on a number of different fabrics.  Great if you want to make a true custom quilt!

repeated pattern

Geometric shapes (palette-limited) Using two colors (RGB #a7bb7d and #724b64), with the optional addition of white, create a fabric design that consists only of geometric shapes (e.g., stripes, polka dots, etc). Entries will be previewed at the scale of a fat quarter (21" x 18").

I think that I like this better!

This contest was really tough, it was palette limited, so only 2 colors plus white.  Haha, I just made the deadline too. My sister calls me "last minute Mary". Ha!

I'll include the link to vote when it is posted.

Oh, and if you want to Pinterest any of my artwork or photography, please attach a link to this blog and give me credit. If you don't, I will find you and hurt you ;)
