The one I was most excited about was my In Plain Sight line that I talked about last week. I tested out a few different scales & color ways to see which ones I liked best. Turns out I like having options, which means I added the small AND large sized bugs and teacups fabric to my Spoonflower shop.

I had swatches made of the entire Purple & Blue color way, because it really is my favorite color combo these days.

I also dabbled a little in colors I don’t normally gravitate too. I’m pretty happy with how they came out, so they were also added to the shop and I’ll probably have the rest of the collection available in these colors by the end of the month.

Oh and for fun I added a few of the above designs I’ve been messing around with in Illustrator too. They aren’t part of a collection, I was just curious what they would look like as fabric!

These swatches were really what I needed this week to get the creative juices flowing and start working on the next collection. I am really enjoying this all again!!!

The above two sunset photos were taken on two different evenings, back to back I believe. The sky around dusk lately has been so pretty. I’m thankful I get to capture them with my phone! Same goes for all the insect photos I have been taking lately. Our back deck has been COVERED in insects and spiders all summer. We have to rush in and out of the door to make sure they STAY outside. I normally am not fond of pests, but the species around us are so colorful and different. Before moving here I had never seen most of these! (and I’m only an hour away from my home town). They also don’t seem to care how close I get to them, which makes for super neat photos!!
