For this week’s Spoonflower challenge, an updated take on medallions and insignias. I took my color cues from classic Italian designs I found in The Grammar Of Ornament by Owen Jones.

I added a textured stripe to the background. One that I had used in February’s paintings. Tiny tulips add a little fun.

Voting is now open, and wraps up on the 28th of the month. Thanks so much for taking a look!

Anyone else ready for the weekend?

Saguaro sanctuary was finished with an hour to spare. Unfortunately, there was a glitch, and I was not able to enter it in the garden bedding weekly contest. UGGHH! I tried six or seven times, in each of the formats accepted. Nothing worked. I contacted Spoonflower, and they said they are looking into it. I didn’t think that anything could be done, but I thought I should let them know. It was just the gremlins in the machine.

At least I can feel good about having met the deadline, and having a new design. On to the next. If you would like to take a look at this weeks entries, follow the link. There are over 2000 entries.

We had a wonderful long rain yesterday. Light, steady, gloomy and grey. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the shower.

Wishing you JOY!

The 2023 February 30 day Creative Gathering has come to a spectacular end. Many new members joined us. Day one started off with a bang. 40 pieces of art posted. Our daily average was 33, and our final count was just under 1000 pieces of art created, 992.

I didn’t count the extra pieces that were posted in comments. Those would put the total well over 1025. Our September 2022 total was just over 700. Way to score, artists!

I know you will enjoy this peek at the amazing art that was created during our Creative Gathering. Be sure to visit our board on Pinterest to see them in more of a gallery view. It’s spectacular!
