fabric design

i have been wanting to design some patterns for fabric. its something i've spent more time thinking about than attempting, but over the past couple months i have come up with a couple designs i think are kind of cool. my friend, Sara, told me about Spoonflower, a website where you can upload your design, they will print it and ship it to you. its actually really expensive (compared to just buying fabric at the store), but i wanted to see how my designs look when printed, and i'm fairly pleased with the results.
