Many of you will know of the print-to-order textile company Spoonflower. In the next weeks I’ll be producing a design for a fabric we’ll be using to make curtains to hang at our seaside cottage. The theme is the Alphabet Primer I’ve been working on for the Open Books exhibition at The National Library, and I’ll be redrawing some of my favourite images made for that project, including the Sailor with the Rose Tattoos and Voyager. I’ll chart the progress here on the Artlog, but the exciting thing is that once the work has been completed, anyone interested will be able to purchase the textile in whichever quantities needed, direct from Spoonflower. If you’re interested do let me know here in the comments box. Your enthusiasm will add wings to my endeavours.

I’m also thinking of designing a Foliate Head pattern based on the drawings made for Marly’s forthcoming book, though that will depend on whether there’s enough interest from potential purchasers. Do let me know how you feel about this. I’ve started roughing out the design to see how the repeat will work, but whether it gets to the finishing line will rather depend on whether there is any enthusiasm for the product. So….
