Balloon Chat

My other hobby is designing fabrics on a site called Spoonflower, and now I have been combining this with twisting to create some balloon fabrics from photos of balloon models (I checked with Twistina if was ok to use the cat as is her design).

Here are some pics of the fabric and things I have created from the swatches.
If anyone would like to know more about how to design their own fabrics on Spoonflower, or would be interested in getting me to design some fabrics from balloon models - please drop me a message.
My big project with this is going to be to do an I Spy quilt where all the fabric panels are balloon designs. Although balloons are quite well represented on fabric, balloon models are not apart from the occasional balloon dog you see, and there seems to be so much you can do with balloons I think can make some really cool fabrics with them.
Hi,
the printed fabric on( i think "your baby" :D) the shirt is a transfer or sewed? its a great idea i like it. Tahnks
Yes that is my little boy, my 'balloon destroyer extrodinaire'. The material is sewn onto the shirt but sometimes I have used iron on adhesive to stick material on.
I use the test swatches (8 in by 8 in - used for checking colours etc) to upcycle clothes with stains or slogans I dislike for my two kids plus their friends.
