When I started to think about what I want to accomplish in 2015 I was working on this new collection. I decided to name it Joy because it was inspired by one of my favorite flowers—the Gerbera daisies. Daisies have always seemed like such cheerful flowers to me. I started sketching them out and whittled down the flowers and leaves to the simplest of forms. I like this part of working because dancing around that line of simple or too simple has always interested me. It feels like a challenging game of sorts (welcome to my inner workings! ha!).
As I designed the patterns I tried coming up with different names for the collection and Joy just kept popping up over and over again. I did feel rather in sync, so clear-headed/focused and energized (almost giddy!) with the creation of every pattern so I guess the name is quite fitting.
The first products using this line can be seen on my Society6 shop. You'll see how I translate this collection to SVG cutting files very soon!

No new year's resolutions around here! We're going to work on our Happiness Jars. I think it's a great idea and I can't wait to see all my favorite 2015 happy moments at the end of the year!

ReplyDeleteThanks Joan!
DeleteLove the patterns! Please consider selling to a fabric company for retail sale for us home sewers! Cloud 9 would be a good match. Or Birch or Art Gallery.
ReplyDeleteThank you - that's exactly what I'd like to do this year! :)
DeleteThat's great news! Can you request they make it in both cotton and some canvas? It makes for some cheery home decor but also great girls dresses, tops and shorts. A third option of voile would be even better. I'm excited! I'll keep a look out!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your ideas and enthusiasm! I don't have a contract with anyone yet. I'll keep everyone posted if anything happens! ;)
DeleteSo pretty Patricia! I love your work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Amy!
