Surfing...something of which I know nothing about! I am from Kansas enough said. There we have puddles, ponds and lakes. However, I am human and can surely appreciate the ocean that I seldom get to see. For this next Spoonflower contest we were given a restricted color palette and for me that is always a challenge.
With almost every design I sit with my children around a brainstorming table. I share the theme of the contest and then everyone starts shouting out their ideas. Now you know my little secret. :) When I told them about the Surfing Contest the eight year old said..."Bunnies on surfboards!" Then the five year old said..."Orange shark fins!" Her favorite color is orange. Perfect I thought since there happens to be an orangish color in the restricted palette. All ideas get written down because you never know when you might one day get inspired to create such things as bunnies on surfboards. I love the way kids think. Without further ado here is my design for the Surfing Contest titled Fins & Boards.
The Surfing Contest at Spoonflower will begin on Thursday, June 5th. Would love to get your vote if you like my design! Click here to vote for your favorites.

Spoonflower has partnered with Storey Publishing for the Under the Sea One Yard Wonders Contest. Our assignment was to design a nautically inspired fabric design and then place that on a Riviera Tee. The winner will have her or his design featured in the newest in Storey's best selling One-Yard Wonders series: the upcoming 101 Little One-Yard Wonders. It's a very exciting contest!
The design that I have entered into the contest is a collaborative work of art created by myself and one of my talented young students in fabric design. Together she and I created Little Fishies Under the Sea. What I love most about this piece is that this contest is geared towards children and this design most certainly has a young person's touch. I love the different expressions and personalities of the fishies. They are just so cute swimming along doing their thing. When I placed everything together to be created into a tee I also admired the fact that the rows of fish look like stripes and the seaweed looks like ribbon. Plus I think the colors are vibrant and fun. So here it is Art Tree Designs entry for this week's Spoonflower contest.
If you would like us to make this design available for purchase please contact us at arttreedesigns@hotmail.com, and we'll be happy to make it available as soon as possible. This design would certainly make a fabulously fun t-shirt for any young child!
