spoonflower verdict

Here she is - this is Audrey in her bright, jewel-tone colorway - direct from Spoonflower. This was the design I submitted to determine quality, color translation, and ground cloth suitability.  Overall, I am extremely pleased with all of these attributes! They did a very professional job, and I am certain I will find applications for it in my work. I do have a big idea brewing for which it will be perfectamundo!

The only issue with the printed yardage had to do with my own stupid oversight!!! So mad at myself. I was a bit hasty in getting this repeat tiled, I was tired, I was overconfident (how many times have I done this?!). Still, I'm not above the law, and I completely missed this misaligned tile. See below. Urgh. It's a little more than a misalignment, but I won't get into the technical details here. Bottom line is that, while I do most of my creative work on my laptop , computer-generated artwork is not foolproof, and the element of real, human involvement can lead to beautiful outcomes as well as expensive mistakes.

Spoonflower Kim offered to re-run this print - a very kind, professional gesture. But, it's my error, not theirs. So I guess I'll be selling 9" x 9" squares of this nummy fabric!
