moopy & me: Pre-Launch

It is with much excitement that I can now reveal the super secret project I have been working on!

Bek and I have been working on reproducing some 60's/70's fabrics designed by Pamela Walker, she was a funky children's textile designer back in her day and we have been given permission to go ahead and reprint them! The exciting part is that we have an opportunity to also design our own textiles to add to Pam's range..... we will be choosing new colourways for the exsisting designs and creating a new set of designs to recreate a story that can be either bought by the metre for you to use and also we will be launching a super fun children's line of furnishings & clothing. How exciting is that! I just can't contain myself... I have been working on this for months now and it has been killing me, not being able to share all the fun... but from now on I can share all the goss with you. And it is great that I can share with the blogging world because out of all the people ... I know you guys will be the most excited.... MORE FABRIC! It will be 100% Australian designed & made, very important to us... and we will be using natural fibres. There is so much for us to learn and I am sure many mistakes will be made but we are having such a blast ... there are endless possibilites.

Sprout Design will be launching some greeting cards with a few of our textile designs on them very shortly ... so that you can get a taste of the action before the 2007 official launch.... I can't wait.

The cards will be a limited edition run so if you don't want to miss out email me with "sproutdesign mailing list" in the subject and I will let you know when pre-orders can be made.

I have a tiny teeny photo of one of the designs that will be coming out as a greeting card... did you guess it? Yes it is a fish ... and the twist was that we were producing it on fabric!

Little side issue here: my 100th post .. phew!
