Fabric design

I have always wanted to design my own fabric, and because of the company Motiflow
I am able to do that. I have used several drawings to be printed on their fabric.
I once saw someone who made her own design into a blouse, wow!
Wearing your own fabric like that would be nice, but I do not know how to sew a blouse... 
I can only make simple items of fabric...
Here are two of my designs by Motiflow:

A new year!

I am back in my studio after spending some time in the beautiful mountains of the Alps.
The crisp cold wintery air and beautiful views gave me lots of energy to start this new year 2020.
On holiday I am not making a lot of artwork, only scribbles of ideas which pop up in my head.
Back home I always need some time to start, especially when a whole new year is laying ahead of me...
Today I went to the studio again and enjoyed being there, 
I have always liked the creative buzz of a studio space and am so happy to have such a space.
My studio is partly also a display of my products and art (a sort of small shop).
This is one of my cards with a portrait I made in soft pastels.
It makes me want to start drawing, so let's do that...
I find drawing portraits quite challenging, especially with those sort of clumsy 
big pastel crayons, but it is exactly this challenge which makes me want to try :).
Learn by doing!
