Remember a while back when I was telling you about my faux headboard project? Well, I ordered a sample from Spoonflower and the result was to my liking. What an amazing service. Below is a side by side comparison of my file and the actual fabric sample from Spoonflower. Color is not completely accurate since scanning the sample causes the colors to shift, and I'm sure that the color shifts again when uploaded to the blog, but it's close. Surprisingly, the sample came back more saturated than the original, if anything I thought the color would be more dull. So here it is, scanned sample from Spoonflower on the left and my original file on the right.
When creating the four fabrics for the headboard, I desaturated the color a slight bit to compensate for the discrepancy I found in the sample. The red on the left is a bit more tomato-y than I was going for, and the turquoise was going more blue than green. Color correction is such an art, let me tell you. Check out my designs, each swatch represents the print over the entire yard of fabric:
Mod Flowers
Mod Buds
Mod Trees
Mod Leaves
I am very happy with these. They are all different but totally work well together. I've ordered a yard of each so that I will have plenty left over to play with after the headboard project. So now, I wait.
