Speedy Characters

Some pushed characters...always fun. Back to backgrounds next, I think.









Speedy Fairy Tale Fabric

So, I found this site http://www.spoonflower.com/ where you can print your own fabric designs, and it got me thinking about patterning and such. So, for this set of 7, I gave a shot at some graphic patterning based on fairy tales...some obvious and others rather obscure. Don't know that I'll really order any of these as prints, but it was a good exercise in simplifying a graphic idea, and making a seamless pattern.

Snow White
Jack and the Beanstalk
Rumplestiltskin
East of the Sun, West of the Moon
Thumbelina

Speedy Forest Critters

So help me....I WILL meet this goal by the end of the year....

yikes...

Here's a series I was playing around with as a set of alphabet flashcards...sort of inspired by woodcuts and old ink illustrations in classic fairy tale books.
