cvirtueI made two new designs for myself on Spoonflower (custom printed yardage), but they are available to buy if other people want them. My most popular design, however, is the Elvish calligraphy trim. I get about a dollar per yard someone else buys. Spoonflower will print on linen, velvet, chiffon, cotton twill... many different fabrics. Also wallpaper.
The designs are an irregular peppermint candy cane stripe, and Elizabethan pearl-and-goldwork from a painting - see image.
My designs are here: https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/cvirtue?sort=new
YouTube pays creators: Good to know: a creator I support via Patreon was asked: "If a YouTube Premium viewer watches your video, does YouTube give you a share of their premium payment in lieu of them watching your content but not watching adverts on your content? Creator: They do, and in some cases it's more than I get for people watching ads."
Book: My current favorite new book is based on this series of shorts by the woman that's been doing armor & movie swordfights reviews for years; her description of this is "Caroline wants to write a romantasy novel. Rosamund, her heroine, isn't quite the compliant 18-year-old she expected..."
