A Bit of Beta, bitte?

Spoonflower, the wonderful print on demand fabric service, has launched it's Beta test of their Marketplace. This means that if you are in their test group you may buy and offer for sale designs that they will print. Once they get the bugs worked out during this Beta stage it will then be opened up to the general public and hopefully this will be soon. Currently, one can only buy the fabric design that is uploaded - one can't buy other people's designs.

This is what I wanted to do from the beginning. I really had no desire to keep inventory of fabric to sell. I would much rather take a commission for the design and let Spoonflower handle everything else; printing, money transaction, shipping, etc.

So!, if you are in the small group that volunteered for the Spoonflower Marketplace Beta test I have 2 designs up for sale. One is "Kokeshi Girls"* which is pictured above. The other is "Joybucket Dolls" * which is pictured below. They really are lovely in real life and the color detail is exquisite.

*The links will only work if you are signed in as a member of the Beta Marketplace. (I think.)

Yes!

Tomorrow is the last day of summer break. Please join me in a little music tribute for this occasion.









To get the full of effect play all of them at once to experience the emotion I'm feeling at the mere thought of it.

Doll Quilt 07 and Studio WIP

Seems like my life is always in a state of WIP (work in progress).

With Both Feet

• Summer is almost over. School starts Aug. 26th.
  
• I signed myself up for Doll Quilt Swap 7. I thought it would be a good way to jump-start me back into the creative world again. It has. It has also forced me to clean out my much neglected studio.
• I dragged Tootie all over the North end of town today looking for affordable lighting to put in the studio. I settled on overhead fluorescents. I know, not eye appealing but c'mon they're practical. I hung them up myself tonight. They'll probably fall on my head.
• I am never going to play Scrabble, Farmtown or Mafia Wars with you nor do I care what shoe I am, what my ghetto name is or the color of my aura. Okay?
• I need a bowl of cereal.
