Sarah and i finished the takishimaya large blankets today. My favorite (as well as Sarah's and Judy's) is the ABC with the three animals. my favorite animals are the giraffe and the elephant but they're the most complicated to work into our designs- but i still fight for them! we're starting to work on a new project. This woman ordered 15 large fleece stockings for her entire family. the only thing is that she doesnt' want them to refrence christmas too much. The theme for our stockings is going to be nature! i've been working on making patterns for the nature designs. We've agreed on mostly different types of leaves- oak and maple mostly. The woman also requested grape vines and olive branches. so i drew some of the leaves to make patterns from but i have to re-work them. they're not quite large enough and so i have to enlarge them and then i'm going to cut them our of the hard pattern brown paper so that we can reuse them over again. i'll post pictures of the stockings once we've made them!
