Monday doodles.
January 31, 2011
I’ve mentioned that I’ve been working on my fabric designs….and this weekend as I was laying out colors ( in stripes…it helps me to see them interact really well) I started to see images popping up on top of these stripes of color. You know when you see certain colors, they make you think of certain things? Well, these boy colors that I am working with just made me think ”lions”. It’s always interesting to me how ideas come. Lately, my ideas have been coming through color. Certain colors make us feel certain things. Don’t know why these colors made me think about lions, but they did. And though I am not much of a digital artist ( I prefer to draw by hand even when I am working digitally) this little guy had to make himself known. He even had the guts to write some graffiti on my color chart. And though I don’t have any lions in my fabric, I’ve been thinking a lot about lion’s lately….and it makes me want to play with them more. You might be seeing some more very soon!
Happy monday!

I think he’s cute!
I love the lion, and I can’t wait to see your fabric. I recently dusted off my sewing machine!
I love your art and I love your blog, but I really dislike it when people categorize things as “boy colours” and “girl colours”.
Thanks you guys! I’m excited to show you the fabric too…it’s nothing like this though…just doodling.
And Allison, I agree! I don’t like having to categorize colors either! But I was really referring to the colors I’m using in my fabric line, which unfortunately is needing to be categorized as boys and girls…it’s a marketing thing, not a color thing! So, interesting is the world we live in and how we have to adapt to what works in the marketing world.
Your lion is adorable:) Love his pocket. My son has one of those draw things hooked up to his pc too. They’re pretty darn neat for the artist.

oh please make him into a card! He’s too cute!
That is so cute — reminds me of retro storybooks.
I love his little lion pocket. Definitely, my favorite…
When will your fabric be available? I am so looking forward to it!!
It should be available late spring! You’ll be getting updates for sure;)
I love those colors all together like that.
Nice color combination and what a cute lion!
Thanks for addressing my comment, Sarah. I’m glad to hear that it’s not a classification you would make on your own.
Greys, blues and greens are my favourites.
