Señor Skully-contest for Beta Fashion

Just entered a fun contest at Beta Fashion, "Looking forward to Autumn/Winter the topic of this project therefore is skulls. We're looking for scarf designs that embrace this topic and represent it in a beautiful and contemporary way."  Yep, skulls. Gah.

Well, I've always been fascinated with those decorative skulls that you see relating to the holiday "Dias de los Muertos", and I think that the style of my drawing and work fits it exactly!  Dia de los Muertos is a traditional Meso-American holiday dedicated to the ancestors; it honors both death and the cycle of life. In Mexico, neighbors gather in local cemeteries to share food, music, and fun with their extended community, both living and departed. The celebration acknowledges that we still have a relationship with our ancestors and loved ones that have passed away.

Okay, shameless self-promotion time! Vote for my "Señor Skully"!!! Here's the link!

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 ;)
