I was looking through my folio over the weekend and found the original art concept & design for my Woodland fabric collection, so I guess it's about time I shared them with you...
Actually it is great fun for me to see the transition from sketch to final fabric so I hope you enjoy looking over them, the sketches are my original artwork designs & one of the first times they were ever created on paper - this is why I love drawing, there is nothing better for the imagination than pencil & paper.
Original sketch for 'Woodland Faeries' -
became....'Woodland Faeries' in fabric
Original sketch for the 'Forrest Path'
became 'Forrest Path' in fabric
Original sketch for 'Woodland Village'
Became 'Woodland Village' in fabric
Original sketch for 'Woodland Neighbours'
became the 'Woodland Neighbours' in fabric
See....everything has a beginning,
even the fabric.
Till then,
Natalie x

Higher densities and areas of plants, with mostly closed cover, provide comprehensive and nearly ongoing colour and are referred to as woodlands.

Cover the newspaper-shingle path with a 4-inch layer of wood shavings, sawdust or mulch chips. Scoop the material in large mounds onto the path, then smooth the path even with the back of a rake. Thanks.

Although the position of the moon is constantly changing relative to the Earth and sun, there are eight positions or phases that the moon goes through in its one orbit cycle. From new moon to full moon and back to new moon again, you can sketch the different phases of the moon as they appear in the night sky with a few drawing utensils. Thanks.

Woodland may form a transition to shrubland under drier conditions or during early stages of primary or secondary succession. Higher densities and areas of trees, with largely closed canopy, provide extensive and nearly continuous shade and are referred to as forest. Thanks.

A path's purpose typically is to guide its visitors from one place to somewhere else, and back again. Woodland paths, like garden paths, often offer an additional aspect the path itself may be the destination. Thanks.

A student nurse may seek help for many reasons, including assistance in a specialized subject. Recent graduates may also sign up with a tutoring service to help pass the state nursing licensing exams, known as the National Counsel Licensure Exam (NCLEX), which every state requires. If you are hiring a new graduate, make sure they have a passed the exam. Thanks a lot.

They are so beautiful Natalie. Thanks for sharing your creative process with us. I often look at designs on things and wonder who made them. I often imagine a person sitting down with a blank piece of paper and pencil and sketching away, and then the day when they say to their partner or parents or someone..."Hey! My design's been accepted! It's going to be printed." How joyous that must feel.
