Keeping a New Year's Resolution or two

I'm fairly new to the Pieces of 8 and one of my New Year's Resolutions was to start posting to this blog. It took me a while, but here it is! Another resolution was to submit a design to something online. The above is a fabric design submitted to Spoonflower.com for one of their contests. This contest was called Large Botanical and just required that the image use the assigned color palette. It took me a while in Illustrator and Photoshop to finally get it together and submit "Moonflower" above. Two resolutions down, only about 30 more to go! Joining the Pieces of 8 has definitely been an inspiration. Can't wait to go paint today.
