When researching design and reworking some ideas for new banner pieces, the design process takes more time than the creation of the piece. Especially when you are designing a custom work. Trying to visualize what they want and have in mind, can drive you crazy trying to get the details right.
Will they get that those are re-imagined dandelion seeds?
And those leaves in this border, which I redid several times, are truly inspired by using the batik -- who would look at a tree and see a a single color when they saw the leaves?
This house look so welcoming to me, does it to others? Or would they prefer a red and pink one?
When making an original design it is the smallest choices you make that make a piece work. But to me, the designer, it is essential to make original pieces rather that cookie cutter duplicates. I think my choice definitely defines my income. I am always willing to duplicate a banner, but it will also be an original -- I always make changes to improve the design.
