In The Garden Living an RPG Life

Spoonflower did a really cool thing recently. They invited the community to get something for nothing.  They invited us to get free samples of our designs one day and, if we wished, we could send the usual fee for the samples, anyway.  What happened to the money and why is “not quite free” good?  They sent the money we paid to The Heifer Project!  I love that idea.  It’s how I want to do business also.

Since this was my first real sample experience, I decided to get images printed that would do two things.  First, I would get 8-inch square panels of single images to use for a project.  Second, I would find out how the images I wanted to use printed.   Unlike many other people using the service, I just want the prints however they come out.  That’s pretty much how I work.  I’m so perfectionist that I deliberately just letting things go and working with what I get.  That’s the artist in my saving me from myself.

So, what did I get?

On the left is the text of a post card my grandmother wrote to Langston Hughes.  On the right is an experiment using Inkscape to create a portrait of my niece, Morgana.  I don’t know what I’m going to do with either of them, yet.
