Spoonflower Contest Update!

This update is a couple days late, but my fabric won in Spoonflower’s weekly design contest! It’s available for purchase until Tuesday the 11th in their Etsy store. I’d like to continue selling it through my site, too, but I am trying to figure out the best way of automating it. If anyone is interested in the meantime, please let me know, we’ll work something out. Thanks for your support, everyone! And of course thanks to Spoonflower!

In other news, I’ve been in Phoenix for the last few weeks helping my mom out while she recovers from surgery. The internet is really spotty here, so besides doing a lot of reading, this is what I have been up to:

I’ll be spilling the beans on some exciting things related to this stuff soon. And more art from The Mouse that Soared is on it’s way, I promise.

Spoonflower’s “Fabric of the Week” Contest!

To my surprise, a pattern I designed and printed up through Spoonflower about 7 months ago was just selected for their ongoing “Fabric of the Week” contest. The winner’s fabric goes up for sale through their Etsy storefront during the following week, and the designer is rewarded with a gift certificate. Exciting things!

Please help me out by taking a moment and voting for my design, Beta Clouds. No registration required! Just follow the link below, 2 clicks of a mouse, and wham-bam-thank-you-m’am, you’re finished! I’ll post the results here once voting closes on Wednesday next week.

Hooligans Fabric is in!

Hot damn am I excited about this fabric! The color came out even better than I’d hoped it would (how often does that ever happen?!). I think I’ll refinish the seat cushion at my drawing table with this. I have to run the numbers to see if I can make it worth my while and still keep prices reasonable, but I’d like to start selling some fat quarter (21”x18”) sections of this and the Beta Clouds design (scroll down to see).

Beta Clouds Textile Design

The custom fabric that I designed and ordered through Spoonflower.com finally arrived in the mail this morning! I can’t wait to get to work making little goodies. Any requests out there? I’m pretty floored seeing my work brought to life this way and plan to make a lot more patterns, so keep an eye out.
