Pixel Joint Forum: Spoon flower

Message

   Anybody used spoonflower to print their pixels onto fabric?

I've seen it done here http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?topic=327908.0 but with other peoples pixels. I wouldn't know what size (2X, 4X etc) to submit art for it would be, and I don't own PS anymore to easily make repeating tiles, but I'd like to have neat boxer shorts, hoodies etc with my own pixel patterns on them.

I noticed they also have themed design contests that I think some people here could win, I think the prize is fabric.

	if you do a search for 'pixel' on it, there's pretty much no pixel art!

	Mmm, Spoonflower. I hear good things about them. I know lots of people use them to print stuffed toys... might be fun with a pixeled character of some kind :D

	I have started pixel painting a fish pattern, then I will order a swatch to see if it looks okay. I'm on the other side of the world though so it's gonna take a while but I'll show the result here.

	Please do, I'm interested in using Spoonflower for some soft toys I want to make but the price is holding me back. I'm interested to hear how it works out for you. I've also heard that www.fabricondemand.com has good stuff, for slightly less... might want to try a swatch from them too and compare the results?
