Hello friends. I hope you had a nice weekend. It’s a beautiful sunny day and even though it’s still a little warm outside to say it ‘feels like fall’ there’s something about the air that feels like fall. I can never explain the feeling but it’s something that makes me feel excited and inspired. I have always felt the most creative in the fall. I remember when hubby and I used to take long road trips to the country side to experience the beautiful fall colours and telling him over and over again how fall made me feel like a ‘artist’ .
At the time, I didn’t know what a blog was and I didn’t consider myself an artist. Looking back now, I realize that it was my soul and spirit trying to tell me something.
Sometimes I feel like a broken record, telling you that I’ve been busy, so today I wanted to give you a little peek to one of the things that I’ve been working on.
I recently designed some pretty fabric and wrapping paper. You can take a look HERE. I have so much to learn when it comes to pattern but it’s something that I’m excited to learn about.
In my humblest opinion, I think both the wrapping paper and the fabric are so pretty.
Also, with both of my sister’s being pregnant at the same time, there has been so much baby talk around our family and so I added some baby animal prints to my Society6 SHOP.
It’s something I’ve been meaning to do for some time. I’m hoping to add more and perhaps put them in the instant download shop.
It’s always a little scary for me to offer downloads because I fear reproduction. This weekend, I found several of my pillow designs being sold in Amazon and it’s very disheartening.
I did file some infringement reports so hopefully they will be taken down. But there are so many, it feels like a loosing battle.
I wanted to let you know that tomorrow I’ll be over at Michaels blog sharing this piece of art. 🙂 Can’t wait for you to see.
In the mean time, I hope you have a beautiful day !
much love,
So pretty Lucy!
These are very pretty patterns Lucy. Sorry to hear about the design infringements at Amazon. I just purchased three of your pillow designs from Society 6 and they are just perfect.
Just got 4 yards. Is there any way you will be putting the baby animals on spoonflower on fabric or wall paper? I have babies coming too, I would love to have drapes and wall paper.
Those are just beautiful Lucy. You are a real talent. Shame on those who take advantage of your gift.
I really love the colors in the fall fabric. I wonder how it would look with a grey background, I love moody florals. Gorgeous work as always.
Do you offer your pillow cover designs on any site other than Society6? Turns out Society6 is still using Flash, and one cannot select products and check out there unless one has Adobe Flash player installed and uses a browser that hasn’t yet banned the exploit-attracting technology. I signed up at Society6 after checking to make sure it offered PayPal as a payment option, and considered it might be a good platform for marketing my own work, but then was so disappointed to find the site relies on Flash. Anyway, hope you have another venue, because I LOVE your designs. Thought I’d post my question here rather than in a private contact because I am sure others loving your work, and wanting to buy, might also share very real concerns about having to have Flash player installed on their computers to purchase through Society6, and would like to know of another option.
Hi Lucy, I’ve been following your blog for awhile and love your art and designs. I can really relate to the feeling of not truly considering yourself an artist. It is something I have struggled with and I am so happy to see your success and the belief in yourself as an artist blossoming! It is unfortunate to find your designs being stolen like that, I hope you are able to get the problem resolved. I wish you continued success and thank you for your honesty and inspiration.
Your designs are beautiful! I understand what you are going through with the theft of your work. I have had copyrighted designs stolen and sold on etsy, Amazon, and Ebay, (check all of them!) and in spite of filing complaints nothing is done. Good luck with fighting it. People are horrible and bold as brass about their thieving.
