  • Fanciful Birds at Night for @spoonflower 's Wonderful World challenge. Although you may not find these exact birds in nature (yes, I took a few liberties), you can still appreciate the astounding amount of diversity among birds.

  • Elasmosaurus Dream, featuring my favorite cryptid, the Loch Ness Monster, who, as we all know, is really a relict dinosaur. When I visited Scotland many years ago, I stood on the bank of Loch Ness and called for her. Although she did not show herself that day, it didn't diminish my belief in her existence. Yes, she's a girl dino!

  • I love the sweet piglet and butter colors but I felt like they needed a bit of a darker contrast so I grabbed this clay color from one of East Fork's other glazes and added a soft teal background for my Meadow Flowers at https://www.spoonflower.com/en/fabric/14591080-meadow-flowers-by-trilby_works

  • "Patchwork Ponies with Tassel Tails" was my contribution for the latest Spoonflower challenge. This was about all I could muster up for the Passementerie theme!
