This new Steller’s + Blue Jays design was created for the Spoonflower Limited Palette challenge. Just four predetermined colors, inspired by Pantone’s Classic Blue color of the year – 2020, are allowed to create any pattern for this challenge. You can vote for your favorites at Classic Blue Challenge.

A New Approach to Fabric Design

A few of my textile art friends have used a digital printing service for the past couple of years called Spoonflower. They print original designs onto a variety of fabrics – from cottons, polys and silks to linen, canvas and faux suede. Lots and lots of talented designers from around the world use their service. Anyone can purchase the fabric (they also offer removable wallpaper and gift wrap) and artists get a small commission if their design is purchased. Search for your favorite things you never thought you would see on fabric!

So far I’ve done Cranes (of course), Sumo Wrestlers (what?!?), Penguins (they have a contest), Vespas (I wish I had one), and Scooters (a gift). Click on the image to get to the website with all of the designs.
