Fall Scarf Collection Drop is Coming Soon!

Hello Beautiful Friends!

The Fall Scarf Collection Drop is Coming Soon!

Sogno di Autunnali Scarf

Which means, this is your last chance for snapping up those Spring and Summer Scarf designs for a while. All the sweet florals of Spring and the vibrant garden designs of Summer are about to bid you Adieu. Catch a last looksie on the website. 

You can also view or download the Spring Catalog here. Keep it handy for next year when I am sure to bring back some favorites.

In the meantime, I will be doing Art Walks and Faires, where I will have many styles, in and out of season, available for sale. Keep your eye on the events page on my website!

What is your favorite color to wear in the Fall? Let me know in the comments below and I will work on a new design using your choice!

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
