Shark School Fabric Swatch

I have had this test swatch of my Shark School fabric for a while.  I decided I ought to finally share how it looks printed!  I really like how it turned out.  I think it would make great fabric for a little boy's quilt, a fun shower curtain for a kids' bathroom, or a cute beach tote.  You can purchase it here on Spoonflower.

I am ordering a retest of my Firework Show fabric, and first test of my Pretty Birds and Autumn Acorns fabrics, so I'll share those when they arrive.

Shark School Fabric

 
Hey all!  I've been busy working on a lot of little projects lately, but none of them are completely finished yet, except for this.  This fabric is a design I created to enter in Spoonflower's weekly design contest.  The theme for this week was Sharks, and the contest opens for voting this Thursday.

I put a lot of time on this one, just ask my husband.  This time around, I tried a different method than I have used on previous designs, which is usually to do some sketches by hand and then use the sketches as inspiration for computer-only drawings.  I drew everything by hand first, then scanned the drawings and basically redrew them in Photoshop.  I had to pull out my drawing tablet for this one, and I got a lot better at using it.  I like the hand-drawn feel this design has, but I'm still not sure which way I prefer yet.

On my next design, whatever it may be, I will try doing the drawings by hand, then trace them in Illustrator and see how those turn out.

So here's where I ask you a question.  What kind of fabric designs would you like to see?
