Just for fun...

Just for fun, I thought I'd share a peek into the color possibilities I've decided upon for my friend Nicole's chairs. I don't want to give it away completely, as she wants to be surprised, but I will say that 3 of these colors will be used in a design reminiscent of an Anthropologie fabric design that I came across. Sorry, that will stay a secret, too. Are you surprised at the color choices? I hope so! I like to take colors that one  might not think go together, but then make them work as a pleasant surprise. When I'm done with the chairs (and the last coats of paint are going on this week), I'll post the photos. Until then, you'll just have to wait--just like Nicole.

In the Meantime...

If you read this blog with any regularity, you'll know I love fabric. Designing it "for real" instead of as little hobby projects is a goal of mine. I would love to design a whole line--like a real fabric designer would! Occasionally, however, I do get to do it as a portion of a larger project. For example, for a toy food kit that has a little apron in it. These are samples for a client for a different project.  I did a total of 25 possibilites, and some did get chosen. Here are a few to peek at. Let me know what you think!
