little yardage patterns

Last night after dinner, Little Mister Yardage and I were sitting at the table drawing. He likes to try and draw what I draw, and insists on a black pen and blank paper "just like Mum". He was drawing all sorts of things, but started with flowers and a spider (major spider and Spiderman love in our house!). I scanned them after he went to bed and started playing with patterns ...

A Little Yardage original! I'm very tempted to print this one. It's nice to be inspired by your family. This was the original drawing ...

Cheers!

my creative space ... test patterns

This week has been all about testing some of my fabric design sketches (which has been fun, exciting and a tiny bit daunting, all at the same time!).

As a result, I've been spending some time working on the laptop, making the designs digital. I used some fabric (linen) computer paper to print them out on. I find this handy to get a "feel" for the design, although the colours translate pretty poorly from the screen to the fabric.

Here are a few ideas I'm playing with (feedback welcome) - I'm a bit into circles and lines at the moment ...






I also ordered some screenprinting equipment this week, so I will be able to start printing on the kitchen table soon - looking forward to that!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thursday's are my favourite day in blogland ... for more inspirational and interesting creative spaces, or to join in the fun, head over to Kootoyoo.
