2016 tea towel calendar

I worked on this design ALLweek. 
That is unusual for me; to stick to one piece all week, plus to add this much detail....
it's a large piece and I did very small designs.
i just need to add in the days of each month and it will be ready to print at spoonflower into a linen tea towel. 
I am not sure if i want to add color, maybe just one, or maybe just a few in the open month shapes, or maybe lots of colors all over. I could leave it blank to be colored in permanent markers...
I just don't know.





But I did take one luch hour off to go see the water...
a beautiful fall day
 (before the day of snow we already had)
and I found a mushroom that matched my shoes.
 I always feel like I won a prize when I find a mushroom,
since they are easy to miss in the leaves.
And this one was so black lacey looking... I should find out what it's called.
It makes me want to switch gears again and design some mushroom fabric... but no, can't do that yet, gotta finish the coloring book. I do think I will add some mushrooms to my next coloring book pages though... I should have it ready to print a book of ten pages very soon, hopefully show you next week.

  5. Wow!! such detailed pen work. Just beautiful!! I'm glad you DID get up and walk on your lunch. And what awesome fall photos of the water. The mushroom is quite intriguing. I find mushrooms strangely intriguing anyway. I must be weird. hope you have a wonderful weekend.

  7. Fabulous! You must have so much patience. I have the same quandaries about whether to add colour or not or indeed how much. I think it's a winner no matter what you choose.
    That mushroom is so weird but wonderful too. I adore mushrooms... I can't say why I just do.
    Have a wonderful weekend
