For this most recent “Reimagined Damask Wallpaper” challenge, I may have gone in a different direction than most. My design is meant to be a more modern, pared down version of a traditional damask design. While using a typical diamond layout and flower motif, I spruced up the colors a little and transformed the standardContinue reading “Contest Entry: “Reimagined Damask Wallpaper” Design Challenge”

Challenge Entry: “Mushrooms” design challenge
Departing from the “New for Sale” posts today to show my latest design challenge entry, “the world is a magical place”. For this one, I channeled the mushroom drawing child of my 1970s youth, added a couple cats, quirky butterfly, and fun flowers.

Spent many hours redoing in vectors so I could scale it way way up. And voila. Boho Bright Patchwork duvet cover (andContinue reading “Boho bright, colorful, wonky pseudo-patchwork duvet cover.
