Reviewing my process, I realize how much I kind of like that starburst/pod shape I had in the middle there. Hmmm, I may have to go back and give that more thought. #spoonflower #workinprogress #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #findinghope #process #processvideo #spoonflowerartist

This is another revamp of an earlier design. Starting with the bones of another, I built a new print making different decisions but keeping the layout. If the bones and balance are good, it’s a fun way to start! . #spoonflower #workinprogress #surfacepatterndesign @spoonflower-social.bsky.social

A few colorways. Funny how color can give it such a different feel. Color is everything! #spoonflower #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #findinghope #findingjoy #wallpaper #spoonflowerwallpaper #spoonflowerartist @spoonflower-social.bsky.social

A little motif is all I have for you today. I’ve been playing with textures. I prefer to make made up flowers. #spoonflower #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #findinghope #spoonflowerwallpaper #spoonflowerartist

Struggling with feelings of worthiness today! Life is tough sometimes. Hopefully, tomorrow is better.

Eventually, a collection will come together, but I don’t like stopping my flow just because a piece isn’t working within the set. This happens to work well w/the last, but even if it didn’t, I would move on & come back when the mood & energy is right. #spoonflowerartist #surfacepattern #spoonflower

What do you think? Same design, two styles. Do you like the watercolor multicolored versions (last 2) or the looser decor boho versions (first 2)? I personally vibe with the boho more but wanted your thoughts! #paisley #pattern #surfacepattern #spoonflower #spoonflowerartist

Another process reel. Ultimately, I redrew the design at least three times in total. I think I likely the looser version best but the watercolor multicolor is also pretty as a novelty fabric @spoonflower. #paisley #workinprocess #pattern #surfacepattern #spoonflower #spoonflowerartist

I was feeling like I really wanted to lean into more imaginative florals as I was inspired by the angler fish video floating around. On the right, the second floral is one I created a while ago that I didn’t feel like publishing but now kinda dig. I’m letting my weird fly today. #surfacepattern

I had to make the little rose into a pattern. It was lonely as a stand alone illustration. Do you know the story of Sophie Scholl and the white rose? I actually did not until recently. #whiterose #lovethyneighbor #chooselove #spoonflowerartist #surfacepattern

A simple white rose. Thanks to a friend group for the inspiration! #spoonflower #whiterose #surfacepatterndesign #surfacepattern #surfacedesign #findinghope #findingjoy #wallpaper #spoonflowerwallpaper #spoonflowerartist

@craftylittlefox.bsky.social So happy to see you here! It’s decentralized so the idea is you can take your followers with you to different platforms. There are a few that mimic Instagram if you want that same kind of visual feed!
