Spoonflower Update

I got my fabrics back from Spoonflower, and am very pleased with their service. The fabric really is high quality cotton, and turnaround time was great, about 7-10 days from date of order. The only problem I encountered was the printing quality of one of my fabrics - the scrolly surrounded rosette design (just below the bees here). Though you may not be able to tell from the photo, for some reason the colors printed very faintly on that one, the fabric felt less smooth than the other two samples, and the design was slightly warped, as though it were stretched out in one direction. I'm not sure what happened with that one, but based on the quality of the other two prints I'm thinking it was just a fluke.

I added more detail to my pink bee. Here was the final design:

Rosette - This was my very first attempt at Inkscape. Lots of flaws, but it was a fun first try and a great intro to vector graphics.
And here they are printed on cotton:

Though I have a folder full of pencil sketches, I haven't had time to draw them on the computer, and likely won't until August or so. But it really is a lot of fun, so if you're inclined to give it a try (and have a good chunk of time) you should go for it. And share - I love seeing other people's designs!
