Felt-y Fun-ness

We saw a felt banner at Renegade Handmade LA. Consideration in favor of buying it was strong then the price appeared. Ouchee! Won’t be in our house. We didn’t go home completely empty-handed. We love independent artists, craftspeople and artisans. We support them when we have the means. The banner was outside our means at that moment. So, I went to a fabric store where felt happened to be on sale. Ten bucks and about 8 hours later, Voila! Crafty banner.

I drew the letter and shape patterns in Illustrator. The felt was thin enough for my scissors but thick enough to remind me to sharpen my scissors (hand cramp).

Merry Christmas everyone!

A stack of cupcakes for a birthday design. I created it including the lettering with a ruling pen on toothy paper. I got an assist from computer magic. I like to share. Mmm, tasty!

Late in the evening I grabbed a pointed pen and drew a “crate” of oranges and lemons. After a little computer magic…I sent the file to Spoonflower who printed my pattern on organic cotton sateen. My mom sewed pillows. The pattern and the pillow are available. Let’s talk.
