Loved your interview - great to find out just a bit more about you. I'm particularly intrigued to know that you use Illustrator for patterns. I'm a fledgeling user of that programme myself, but now I see that maybe it's time for me to read the manual. Sigh. Cheers Heather
Great to read your interview...Looks like you'll have a great future in fabric & design...I guess I understand the business side of it better than the design/craft side of it...(still think I studied the wrong thing) Anyways...keep up the good work, I love your fabrics and really hope you'll get your trees with birds printed in yellow (and maybe other colours) so I can make some cushions :)
Cool interview. I think blogs are the best form of PR any artist could have! Two thumbs up on the Illustrator plug in. I love it! But then I'm not a graphic designer by training so the pattern repeat part is something I am thankful I can click my mouse and have it done for me. I just want to focus on devloping the artwork! If you happen to find yourself with a spare $300 I would recommend it. You don't feel so married to your ideas when you didn't spend hours figuring them out. I feel more free to play with my images. There is a free tutorial you can try. Cheers!
i'm delurking to say congrats on this AND decor8 this morning young missy! two fab things in two days - what will be tomorrow's great news? these things come in threes y'know!
aha! I've found your third great thing! your new fabrics are on design*sponge today! yay! (i'm not stalking you, i promise) thanks for leaving the comment on my blog by the way, that was really sweet of you :)
Hi! I just found your blog and read the whole thing! Thank you for being so honest about your work - what you feel doesn't work as well as your successes. I've only been an "artist" for one year and just started my own blog. I'm trying to be honest about my work because that's what appeals to me in reading the blogs of others. BTW, I just went one my 2nd trip to Japan in April. From reading your blog, I know you will love Kyoto, so I hope you get to go there. I checked out Tokyu Hands on this trip - great stuff!
*AKA Kirin Notebook, the name I gave my blog back in the day when I had a thing for giraffes (’Kirin’ - ‘giraffe’ in Japanese).
