Hi Sonia, Thanks for stopping by the blog! We were really surprised to learn that Ashley created her design with just an ear of corn! I think this technique would be great to use with children. You should try using the leftover part of lettuce for a stamp...the results are beautiful!

Hi Zan, You're certainly right... having the ability to easily adjust your design through programs like Illustrator or Photoshop can make the design process much smoother! Sometimes though, it's nice to go back to tech-free designing! We hope you've enjoyed getting a behind-the-scenes look at the designs entered in this week's Design Challenge!

Hi Wendy, We couldn't agree more! Everyone had a great time creating custom bears with their favorite Spoonflower marketplace designs. The possibilities are endless when it comes to creating a custom RARE Bear - we even made a few from the themed fat quarter bundles that can be ordered at the end of a Design Challenge!

Hi Su, Thanks so much for the kind words! Ann's bear really did come to life when she added the adorable pink nose and eyes! We are looking forward to sending our bears to RARE Science in California!

Hi Amy, We're so glad to hear you're going to give shibori a try! We love the way Pam's designs have turned out using this technique but certainly agree it's worth waiting for warmer weather! We'd love to see photos when you're done.

Hi Jacobs, Thanks so much for the kind words! We hope you'll give one of our tutorials a try!

Hi Khloe, We're so glad to hear Spoonflower has become a helpful resource for getting your business started! Good luck with your new venture!

Hi Patricia, We're so glad to hear you're interested in donating your fabric to our Blankets for Good initiative! While we aren't fabric donations at this time, we are hoping to create a program for those interested in donating their fabric! We can't thank you enough for your interest in supporting our employee led initiative! In the meantime, if you have fabric remnants at home, I recommend contacting your local Project Linus chapter : http://www.projectlinus.org/volunteer/

Hi Natalie, Thanks for visiting the blog! We had no idea slap bracelets were metal rulers until we peeled over the plastic covering. It was quite the surprise! If we weren't making 1000 bracelets for an event, I think we would have gone with the upcycled method! Just keep in mind the type of scissors you use when cutting the ruler!

Thanks, Amada! We had a lot of fun making them and even got to test them out at our local children's museum this past weekend! If you end up making your own bracelet, we'd love to see the finished results!

Hi SEF, "Galentine's Day" comes from the American comedy television series Parks and Recreation. Galentine's Day is February 13th, when you celebrate your love for your lady friends! I hope you enjoy your fun fact for the day! Meredith
