hi dearies!  well, i guess i’m in the mood for decor (you’ll find out why tomorrow- hint hint!) i’m bringing you another fantastic fabric designer today.  i ran across tara’s post over at scoutie girl earlier this week which got me inspired!  daisy janie is a one women show- ran by no other than jan dicintio- previous editor of scoutie girl.

jan gave me my very first blog mention- and i pretty much claim that going home to roost launched with this post! she’s dear to my heart and though she’s passed scoutie girl’s torch on to the amazing tara gentile, she now has time to focus on her passion: designing fabric.

jan recently posted about her sketchpad to fabric process and it’s amazing to see the transformation.  this is her original sketchpad drawings.

from jan :: ‘basically, i start with original artwork from my sketchbook – from there it is tweaked, worked, re-worked, worked, re-worked, colored and polished with a fine shammy. sometimes i hit the design right away; other times, i have to walk away for a week and revisit it with a fresh eye to see if it works.’

after highlighting a few shapes and patterns (above), jan comes to the final pattern (below).  what a transformation, right?

you can read her entire post here- thanks for sharing your process jan!
