getting crafty

thanks to the amazingly awesome spoonflower.com, i have acquired some fabric printed with some of my illustrations.

Heart Flourish (2011)

Crested Cage (2011)

the design was too large on the first samples i ordered, so i decided to play around and try out some different uses. below is an embroidery i just completed, using the larger print. 

i think i'll do a few of these to be wall hangings. i love finding new avenues to combine fine art and decorative craft. recalling victorian pastimes, wealthy women sitting in a parlor, drinking tea and working on samplers and painting china. in my own little, slightly morbid, way.

and here is a new sample of fabric, with a much smaller print. and i decided to add a green background to the "crested cage" illustration. scarves in the making. now i just need to find the perfect fringe...
