Furniture Project
As a new designer nothing excites me more than to see my designs become something beautiful. Recently a very talented buyer at Spoonflower purchased one of my earlier designs. This was one of the first designs I did in a collection called Daydreams and Dandelions. I was teaching myself placement and colors and figuring out basic repeat of the design while learning Photoshop all at the same time. It was all very much a challenge but a good challenge. It feels like every day I'm learning something new in the design world. What I appreciate most about Spoonflower is that I've been learning as I go in an incredibly supportive community of fellow designers. Their comments and supportive words keep me going, and seeing what they create on a daily basis inspires me to do more and do better.
So getting back to finished projects. It's such a blast to design but there are no words when someone actually purchases your design to make something beautiful and then takes the time to share it with you. I was thrilled last week and on cloud nine actually when a purchase was made of my fabric design and created into this project you see here.
This fabric design is titled Daydreams And Dandelions Butterfly Trail. I love everything about this project. I love the shelves and the butterfly knobs and the white trim. I also love the soft green and purple up against the white. It is things like this that keep me going. Especially when I hear that voice in my head that says... What are you doing??...Just quit now! Gorgeous projects like this are exactly what inspire me to continue designing. I'd like to thank the talented Butterflycharmangel who created this furniture project and all of the others who have created something fun or beautiful with my designs. I am so very grateful for you all! You all help me to keep on keeping on!

African Inspired Textiles
This week's contest at Spoonflower is the African Inspired Contest. Designing this contest was so much fun! It was fun to research and look at endless beautiful and exotic African textiles. I've titled my piece African Waterfall. I found a great site that discusses how African waterfalls are incredibly underappreciated. Click here to check out some of the most beautiful waterfalls in Africa. I have to admit when I hear the word Africa waterfalls do not come to mind. That is exactly what inspired me to create a design with a waterfall effect.
