Cherry Bomb Fabric?
February 19th, 2009 at 12:14am Conscripted Cherry
I know that saying c***t to some of you causes hives. That is not the goal of this post. The goal of this post is to delve into the creativity that is this group. So….
Who knows what Spoonflower is? They are a neat, small company that prints custom designed fabric. I want Cherry Bomb fabric!!! I’m picturing a cream or gray background with the cherry bomb from the t-shirts (yes, I know we have to get permission or design something else) that can be used to make bookcovers or the little totes I made for folks in Oregon. But what I really, really, really want is a dress. A Cherry Bomb dress. Think about it. A full skirt, a fun bodice, leaning towards a shirt dress with Cherry Bombs all over, some red piping, and some cute vintage cherry buttons. Or, I know, some fun Moot buttons. Better yet, some Moot fabric. Wait, Moot and Cerise and Cherry Bombs all scattered around. A few overlapping each other so the design elements look casual and not too structured. After all this group doesn’t do structured very well. Maybe a Hawaiian inspired floral design with Moot and Cerise and Cherry Bombs peeking out from the flower petals.
Maybe not so much a Cherry Bomb fabric but a book fabric. Something that has classic bodice ripper covers scattered along one edge so that when it’s made into a dress there is a border of books along the bottom. I don’t know.
Can’t you see this dress all made up? Take the black and white dress- keep the body white and use a red trim- have the overwrap part done in a fabric with Cherry Bombs scattered all over. Use two vintage cherry buttons at the waist, add a pair of red kitten heels and you’re ready for book signings all over the world. Or make the custom fabric in a deep, rich brown and have classic books scattered all over like it’s raining books. Pair that with your hair up in a bun, a pair of “librarian” glasses and watch out world.
Hmmm. think I need to go design some fabric. Anybody want some?
