tea

After I did these greeting cards out of fabric, I got a bit obsessed over doing more fabric collages. Here's a little bit more experimentation. This little tea guy is about 4 x 4 inches. (nothing too big so I don't feel like I am wasting fabric.)

Here is the sketch I did, its cool to see how it got translated.
And its so easy in Illustrator to break up the shapes, print it out and voila- you have a pattern!

=o))
PS Loved your pirate piece as well but I'm feeling like a "gusher" lately so tried to refrain from overdoing on the comments.
;o)

I'm working on some fabric journal covers right now and could really see your designs working in this way. Have you considered selling versions for sketchbooks/etc? Darling, color smart and so designey.

Thank you, everyone!

Crystal, I definitely feel shy about selling my craft stuff because I still consider myself a beginner sewer. I hope one day I will! :-) Would love to see your fabric journals!
