TEST THE BIG SIZE SPONNFLOWER PATTERN ON FABRIC
isa
… and Fabric sample pack from Spoonflwer
Sorry for the poor quality of the photos. I had them on my phone, and I forgot to mention it.
Last summer, I ordered different kinds of fabrics from my own Spoonflower shop. I wanted to check the quality of the print as well as the size of the large-format of my patterns design. In my Spoonflower shop, I usually upload three sizes for each design: Small, Medium, and Large (for wallpaper). It was difficult to get an idea of the proportion of the large design and the texture of the fabric.
Spoonflower allows us to select multiple designs we want to print and With the option “fill a yard” option, we can choose the fabric and organise the patterns as a patchwork. It can be for a quilt or any project but it’s also a great way to test various of our designs at once on one or two textile surfaces.
I was so pleased with the result! The prints are sharp, neat, and vibrant. I’ve tried other printing places and processes before, but none were as beautiful as those ones.
One of the fabric is really thick, a kind of Jute fabric, great strong home furnishing fabric… ideal for restoring and renovating upholstered furniture. It’s really nice . A total professional result !
I will post better quality photos soon …
Handy sample pack
I ordered a fabric sample box from #spoonflower. It helps to picture what could be done with the #patterndesign displayed in my spoonflower boutique.
I was truly impressed by the pack. It goes from silky veil to thick beautiful furnishing fabric. I was so pleased by the range and the quality of those samples.

IMAGINE. THE BACKSPASHES tile on wall and floor
isa
In September I intended to join a spoonflower contest* but due to unforeseen events that occurred – LIFE 🙂 ! – I could not manage to finish on time for the closing date. However I took a liking to this project and kept looking for more ideas, I made an extended project out of it. From the paper sketchbook to the procreate tracing from which I built the pattern unit and then applied different colors palette – layer by layer – so that the pattern is an editable one: each color can be changed independently from one another
Originally, this motif was made* for kitchen. As a matter of fact, it fits on fabric too (which was a kind of surprise)…
*part of the” wall paper backsplashes design challenge
I kind of had an oriental atmosphere in mind. it is more visible at the tracing stage : here

Color tool

I discovered this Useful tool to find a color Name 🙂
There is poetry in color names:
Faded Purple – Ebony Clay – Sky Magenta – Water Blue – Water Blue – Yellow Tan – Tulip Tree – Muted Blue – Blue Koi – Cobalt – Dull Green – Hibiscus – Viridian – Old lace
Some color names tell stories, Names that hint at a narrative, inviting the mind to imagine a scene or a moment. Names like “midnight blue,” “sunset orange,” or “emerald green” are not just technical labels. They conjure vivid images and emotions tied to experiences in the natural world, much like poetry creates pictures in the mind through words. They are whimsical and imaginative, as for instance: “buttercup yellow,” “ocean mist,” or “dragonfly green.” These names create a sense of fantasy or wonder, transporting the mind to a place or feeling rather than simply describing a shade.
HOW MANY BLUE COLORS !
