Mondrian Stained Glass Fabric Design

New Fabric pattern! I started with the random stained glass frame, and was starting to fill it in with a variety of colors (which I still plan to do), when I figured why not do Mondrian style?

Other color variations to come!

(I’ll post a link once it’s available in the shop)

Dreaming Butterflies design

So as a longtime Pathfinder player (an updated version of Dungeons and Dragons, for those less familiar with the tabletop RPG world), I was thinking of my favorite Pathfinder deity Desna, the goddess of the night sky, dreams, travel, and good luck. I love her emblem of the celestial butterfly. It’s like I’ve done an embroidery of her before or something...

So with Desna as inspiration, I started another fabric pattern... I started with half a dozen butterflies in various shades of blue and purple and placed them on some watercolor clouds and built it up from there...

Another variant I did where the Desna inspiration is a little less subtle...
