This week's design challenge at
Spoonflower was to create a
'spoon-themed' design.
I started my research by opening my kitchen drawers and began sketching what I found.
Designing my pattern with only spoons seemed a little boring so I incorporated some drawings that I originally did for
MATS4A last fall of the cool gadgets that I had inherited from my Nana. (My daughter Hanna especially likes the hand-mixer).
I assembled all of my drawings in photoshop and made an organized collection of the items using only their grey outline. I felt that there were so many shapes that the color palette had to be simple. I chose the smoky blue/green color because it worked well with the grey and really made the white pop. Plus I liked it! I've learned from the
MATS (Make Art That Sells) classes that I've taken from
Lilla Rogers over the past year and a half that I should be designing something that I would buy!
