May Samples & Design Scale
Here’s a snapshot of my May Spoonflower samples. I’m in love with the pastel microdot prints.
You can tell by looking at these that my initial Spoonflower designs are large in scale. When I’m working, I fill my 32 inch monitor with the design; a habit I blame on my High School Art teacher. He was always reminding me to fill the space on the canvas. I also find it easier to work on the details when things are big.
It’s best to remember that once your designs are uploaded you can easily make them smaller - but you can’t make your original any larger. Working in the large is a good habit for me, I can re-size patterns for customers as needed after uploading them to Spoonflower. This means I can make singular prints that work for everything from doll dresses to curtians.
