Occasionally I do get a sale on Redbubble and often from a complete stranger. Most of my self-publishing for my work on Redbubble on Facebook has been unfruitful so I don't tend to bother anymore. My most recent sale was two Ziggy Lime Green throw pillows and the buyer was from America (Redbubble's head offices are in USA and Australia). Inspired by this I looked at my latest piece of art I'm concentrating on at my art group and thought to myself that if I do a set of birds I could make a surface pattern on Photoshop. This has at least inspired me to find a bit more time to get on with my art. Hopefully it will be a pleasing result.
This photo shows me resorting to having to use a magnifying glass to do the details of this Greylag goose as my eyesight isn't great. I have to squeeze my eyes together to see the time on the alarm clock on my husband's side of the bed, perhaps it's time I bought my own alarm clock!
The image above is the completed Greylag Goose painting and I have scanned it, put five copies of it on Photoshop and used the tools to see what it would look like with a chequered pattern between, I quite like it but I will use a painted version of the plain chequered bits in-between. I'm also working on four more birds and will have four more patterns plus one of all five and mixing them up again. I'll put them on my Redbubble shop and also mean to tidy up the shop so only the superior patterns remain.
