I’ve created a design for the latest Spoonflower fabric design contest. The theme is ‘Cityscapes’ and you can vote by clicking HERE. I’ve just ordered 5 yards of this….I can’t wait to see it printed!
I chose a variety of images that symbolise Sydney and Australia. I’ve given it a Surreal twist with giant Kangaroos sporting bat wings, giant redbacks crawling over the Opera House and flying sharks lurking through the sky. The pattern I’ve used for the ground is my ‘Jiminy’ print which is a camouflage of florals and insects. The gum tree and bike with the city silhouette, is the view from Sydney Park, just near my house. The mandalaesque flowers look like exploding fireworks behind the Harbour Bridge. This is my first toile style fabric and I already have ideas for more!
