My Scarf Design Process - From Art to Fashion

Hello Beautiful Friends!

I often get asked where my scarf designs come from. Well, the answer is rather obvious - and vague at the same time.

Above is an original artwork, Jubilant, and the finished scarf designed from the art. But How did I do it?Well, it’s a process. Let’s break it down.

I paint, draw, illustrate and doodle my way into most of my scarf designs.

It is not as simple as painting on fabric, although that is a magical process. Most of the time, I paint a floral on canvas or paper and then the process begins.

If my painting has elements that I feel would make a beautiful fabric or home decor, I start dissecting it into elements, colors, etc.

I scan my work, I open my artwork in Procreate on my iPad, and then I select and separate each element. Once everything is on a separate layer, I then transfer the artwork to Photoshop and begin laying out the design.

The final step is laying the finished design out in my scarf template, uploading it to my fulfillment center, and posting it for sale on my website and Etsy store.

If you are a designer, this may all make sense to you. If not, it may be clear as swamp water. Sorry about that.

Nevertheless, that is my usual process.

It always starts as a painting, and then I use my Graphic Designer background to create the design.

I hope you enjoyed this little peek into my process. If you have any questions about Procreate, Photoshop, or my favorite art mediums, leave me a message and I will post a reply with some more details. 

Peace, Love, and Creativity,

Jodi

Tropical Vibes and New Tropical Apparel!

Hello my friends!

I hope you are fairing well with all that is going on around us lately.

I'd love to hear how you spent your Spring. Did you #STAYHOME ? Did you get out and explore? Meet your neighbors for the first time - socially distanced, of course? Please leave me a comment below and share one positive thing that has happened since the pandemic started.

As for me, I have been busy with all this down time creating and painting and enjoying a slower pace to life as we used to know it. Missing family and friends is a bummer, but we do have FaceTime and social media :) Imagine what this might have been like before smart phones and computers!
