This is my entry for Spoonflower's Donkeys and Elephants contest: Donkeys & elephants Here in the US we're in the midst of an election season, with our two primary political parties locked in what seems like mortal combat. Like every other group of sane people, those of us here at Spoonflower sometimes ask ourselves why, oh why, can't we all just get along? So in the interest of bringing a little healing to our nation's fabric, we're asking designers literally to bring together donkeys (the symbol of the Democrats) and elephants (the symbol of the Republicans) on fabric. Simple enough, right? We'll hold our own election to find out who wins. Entries will be previewed at the scale of a fat quarter (21" x 18") An Unlikely Couple

Abominable Love fabric used on the front. And Wooden fabric used on the back of the potholder.

This box was originally an ordinary cardboard box with bland black factory information as its only distinguishing feature. Bland no more, this nifty little box now features some of my more unique fairy tale fabrics. I used my Golden Unicorns fabric for the top, my Frog Prince II. fabric for the inside, and for the outer decoration I used my Strange Gold fabric. (Just a small note, I still can't see what I'm shooting with my camera;  if some of the angles et cetera look strange, that's why.)

These photos come from my newest swatch order. I recently damaged my digital camera's screen so that I can't actually see when taking my pictures; this batch of pictures reflects that.
