This week's Spoonflower contest is being held in conjunction with Lake, a colouring app, and we could create a design on any subject we liked, so long as it was in black and white. Such open ended contests like this can be the hardest - how do you choose what theme to draw!? They also produce an amazing, diverse mix of entries, it's wonderful to see how creative everyone else has been!
I took inspiration for my design from my Inktober drawings (which you will have seen I have been sharing if you follow me on Instagram or Facebook and I will be posting some on here soon too) and used the dancing girl as the start of my design. I was also inspired by Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts designs; I love the flowing lines of Art Nouveau and the plant inspired wallpaper designs by William Morris.
My design is all hand drawn in pen, and is a repeating pattern so it took a little back and forth between the scanner and adding in a few more details by hand to get the flowing lines to all line up and work in repeat. I enjoyed making this one and hope you like it too!
** UPDATE
Thank you if you voted for my design - it came 76th (with 105 votes) out of 357 entries! You can see all the winning designs here.
I will post an update when this design is available for sale.
