Got the base colour all over my Munny. Now i’ve just got to put all the details on… which i haven’t actually decided on yet :P

I’ve got the colour scheme (obviously) and the general idea – cyberpunk gremlin. I cut the little toy ninja star it came with in half to make pointed gear-shaped wings and it’s going to have some sort of tattoo on the back of its head but beyond that… i have no idea what i’m doing.

Eh, my toy, it’s allowed to be random.

National Novel Writing Month Furoshiki

The finished pattern for my National Novel Writing Month furoshiki, featuring lots of Cyrillic letters and writing icons.

I’ve ordered a yard of fabric with this pattern from Spoonflower, which should arrive in plenty of time for me to do all the cutting and hemming needed before NaNoWriMo. I think i can get one large furoshiki and two smaller ones from a single yard. I really only need one, though, so i’m planning on selling the other two. If they sell well (i.e., enough to actually cover the cost of having expensive custom fabric printed up) i might make them a regular product. Which would give me a wonderful excuse to do more fabric designs…

The theme for Illustration Friday this week is ‘pattern’. And i recently found out about Spoonflower, one of about a billion print-on-demand companies – the unique thing about Spoonflower being, their product is fabric.

I wonder if Spoonflower will be seeing a sudden increase in customers this week, or if i’m the only one to go so extremely far in a weekly creativity challenge as to turn it into full-out textile design.

Add all this to the upcoming National Novel Writing Month and my fondness for furoshiki, and now i really want a special typography furoshiki to carry my novelling books in. I’m hoping i can get it totally designed this week… at the very least i want to have it done in time to use it this November.
