Here are more photos from my Urban Jungle fabric collection with @hawthornesupplyco.

My personal favourite is the Hibiscus pattern and I would love to have it as a knee-length skirt. The problem is, I can’t sew... https://t.co/5WZXnae1er

Drawing a house was a challenge, in a good way 😆 (I was stumped many times). But I’m always up for a change and this has certainly taught me something new.

On a personal note, I love a navy blue house with... https://t.co/GnvtBFvdX7

There is beauty in the simplicity of cosmos. But maybe there is beauty in nature if we look long and hard enough.

Today I’m thankful for:
1) A very special group of people called teachers. If it weren’t for good folks like them, we wouldn’t be able to go very far. Teachers come in all shapes and forms, not just the academic... https://t.co/otAeUANoFJ

So TA-DA... the finished mock-up and repeat pattern (swipe to view) for ‘Goosey Goosey Gander’.

What do you think?

Funny how the mood changes with each background colour.

Which ones do you like best?
Yellow, grey, green or lavender?
(I’m torn between yellow and lavender)

Today, I’m grateful for the internet. It’s so easy to do anything when you have data. I can send files across the world from my computer. Sell my artwork online while working from home. Not get lost (thank you... https://t.co/c65PhXblLu

I’m so undecided what colour background I should use for this pattern 😕
⠀⠀
A little help please? Do you like it with pink, yellow, sky blue or navy blue?

[Mable Tan @happeemonkee]

I’m going to be vulnerable here and say this: I am terrified of failure. Most days, all I think about is how I can make a sustainable income as a designer. I feel guilty that I’m not contributing more... https://t.co/KIPLmIncQE

I’m experimenting with a limited palette and a drawing technique (line drawing) as a challenge for myself.

Hey you, did you hear Surtex is THIS weekend?

What’s that? You can’t make it to Surtex this year? Yeah, I hear it’s freezing. Oh yeah, it’s Super Bowl weekend. Uh-oh... your flight was cancelled?
