Lately I have been focusing on my textile designing, and in the process of building my portfolio, I decided to start a fabric shop on Spoonflower

Thankful for my friend Rachelle! We had a great time at “Lobster Fest” today!

Here is a textile print I did this morning. It started out as a hand painted rose image, acrylic paint on paper. I then scanned it, color reduced it in photoshop, and turned it into a “half drop repeat pattern”. To see some of my other textile designs, click here to my textile portfolio.

Here is a basic repeat pattern featuring a hand painted motif I made. If you need textile design, surface design, or illustration, please check out my website http://www.thecriticsdarling.com

Today my mom and I went to the Cat show in Toledo, Ohio. This is somewhat of a tradition for us since we both love cats and proclaim them to be the cutest animals in the world.
