And that's how it felt as I opened the box that contained my very first collection of fabrics. Alchemy has finally launched via the wonderful team at Blend Fabrics and shipped to retail stores across the country. My samples arrived and I can tell you that seeing my art on this lovely soft cotton fabric was just...fulfilling. The watercolor feel of my designs comes through beautifully...you can really see the gradations of color, like brushstrokes on watercolor paper. The colors are tranquil and soft, the designs modern and organic and the entire collection can be easily mixed and matched.
I envision a beautiful quilt, pillows, duvet cover, a slipcover for a special chair.... maybe a really cool satchel, or a tunic (yes, that feels like me.. ) If only I knew how to sew.... ;) Wondering, what will you create with my Alchemy collection?
And yes, somebody pinch me, (gently...) please... ~
Cogratulations, Shell. Really beautiful fabrics.
ReplyDeleteshell, these are amazing...the two middle ones in that first pic caught my eye first but then as you went along i think i like each of them just as much...
ReplyDeletebeautiful!!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful work from an amazing artist! What a magic alchemy that it'll spread out all across the USA in multiple creations. All the best for this alchemic wonder.
ReplyDeleteSuch a perfect choice of designs...they look so perfect and ripe for working with...I agree with all your uses...and also share your frustration
ReplyDeleteMy idea of sewing involves sellotape or glue!
It would be so cool to have my bedroom all sorted out in Alchemy (great choice of brand name too by the way)
Savour this special new venture as it launches and enjoy all of the subsequent plaudits
So proud - David :)
