Making my art into paper and textiles

This is one of my first editions of art based wrapping paper.

Now I'm applying my digital painting and drawing to creating patterns for textiles and gift wrap. Here's an example of my gift wrap (right). It's heavy-duty paper with a soft sheen.

Here are several of the fabrics I've designed and have begun making product prototypes. So far I have made dresses, pillows, tea towels, and the table runner I showed you all recently. My sewing coach and teacher, Connie Walker-Shaw at SEW helped me create this first series of textile products. (see http://www.walkershaw.com).

The thumbnails below do not show the full image of the scarf, but if you want to order one (yes, I am starting slowly...there will soon be an online shop), so for now, each can be made into a 36" square scarf or a 20" x 60" rectangular (long) scarf. They are made-to-order in lovely Silk Crepe de Chine.
