Spoonflower Monochrome Moments

Spoonflower hosts weekly design challenges. They are themed, and there are prizes for the top 10 designers. A fun way to build your portfolio and shop offerings. It’s been much too long since I have taken part, but I am jumping back in.

As always, I learned a lot in the process. I designed this specifically for a decorative pillow.

In addition to the cash prizes for the top ten designs, the top 50 have their proof swatch printed for free. A proof is required before the print is available for sale. Winners are decided through public voting.


I’d love your vote!

The luminous light that burns on the Arizona desert,
out of long miles of untouched sage and sand. . .
Yes, that’s where I want to be, on an observation car
traveling swiftly into the Southwest.
Losing myself in a shimmer of fine dust.

I’ve Had The Lime Of My Life

Do you remember that song? Or the movie it is from? A play on words. Made me laugh. I know, I know. I’m a geek. I recently watched The Movies that Made Us and it was in my head.

This design was recently posted on They Draw dot com. Scroll down on the first page to see it featured with the new designs. WOW! The artists are so amazing. The recipes always make me hungry. Haha. Or go to the design page and leave me some ❤️ and let me know your favorite way to enjoy limes. Thank you. 🥰

This design is available in fabrics, on pillows and finished textiles in my Spoonflower shop. You can also find it on mugs, bags, towels and more at Society6. I really love the Backpack. (click any image for a better view.)

Let there be seasons
so that our tongues will be rich
in asparagus and limes.
Anne Sexton

Lime is what you make of it.

Once upon a lime, there was a huge castle.

We have to draw the lime right here.
