Fabric design flows continuously up and down yardage, side to side... presenting challenges to composition when painting as fine art.
Designs can hang as wall art, freeing you to determine composition with scissors and frame or dowel. Wall hangings and pillows can lend the look of fine art, allowing you to change colors schemes quickly.
I sell fabric and wallpaper worldwide daily; Spoonflower partners with Etsy, Wayfair, Amazon, Walmart and more. While I no longer license designs, my surface designs sold to fashion and upholstery companies across US, UK and Mexico.
Prints-on-demand were used by interior designers, fiber artists, boutiques, fashion designers, architecture firms, Etsy sewists, quilters, several swim suit companies, health practitioners, book binders, lamp-makers, furniture companies.
