Still testing my Godwit design

More birds are added and I am testing scale and pattern arrangements.

Godwits testing the design

This version of the design is influenced by some very painterly and spacious Japanese fabric.

Godwits

Currently working on fabric design based on Godwits. I’ll send out a newsletter soon, with more about these amazing birds. Yes these are the ones who fly nonstop from New Zealand to the yellow Sea (China) then on to Alaska.

Water the flowers

Water the flowers, I can see this neutral coloured design teamed up with  flowers.

Spoonflower fabrics in projects

I have put some new fabric patterns available for the general public  on demand from Spoonflower.

More will be available shortly, when I have received the samples.

The designs are hard to see on the previewer, so take a look here.

ecofabric does fashion

Well recovering from the fashion show, along with Stichbury, Good score  and Emma and with Rani Stigsdoffer Ecofabric held a fashion show at the Owhiro Bay Country fair. Rain absolutely bucketing down all day, I just ran into Nicci one of the principal organizers who explained how soaked she had been all day. But despite some of the models getting sick and not turning up, the show looked great to me. Awesome help pulling it off, from so many: The other designers, the models that Louise organised, George for getting the stage there, Megan for doing the makeup, Angelina giving professional tips for the runway, Leise and Natasha  Klare and the models; Abby, Angelina, Debbie, Rani, Bessy, Zoe, Kalani and Alex modelling the children’s clothing they did such a fantastic job. Friends I can’t thankyou enough.

Wow my first fashion show, and so on to selling clothes at the markets.
