Spoonflower Fabrics

Two samples pictured:
Seeing Grey & Red Oxide Stripes.

Part of Spoonflower's design to sell process involves you ordering samples of your designs to then double check and make sure everything printed the way you wanted. I had designed a handful of patterns, ordered my samples, and eagerly awaited their arrival.

Once they came I was both excited and a little disappointed. Two of my designs, pictured to the right, came out beautifully. I love the colors and the stripes printed really well. No visible errors. My other two designs I had gotten samples of weren't quite what I expected. My blue plaid was very very tiny and the plaid part of it was invisible, same with my pink plaid. They are essentially solid color fabrics, no vibrant plaid like it was shown on my computer.

I approved the two that turned out well, Seeing Grey and Red Oxide Stripes, but with the other two I am trying to figure out if it is an error on my part or Spoonflower's printing process. I'm going to go in and edit the designs using Spoonflower's editing tools. I will post more if I decide to add more fabric designs.

When I pitched an idea for "The Dire Circle" during 2021, I wasn't sure that it would even get picked.

My Black Zodiac was the Serpent and my short story for the anthology is Twisted Tales, Dripping in Honey . My story centered around a very femme fatale main character with lots of buried secrets. I looked to old Hollywood glamour, dark reds, demon eyes, and other glints of seductress mixed with sweetness to create Melia . For me, coming up with a name was very difficult. After creating what should would look like, having an idea of her voice, her outfits, her drive, everything about her, I still needed the...

Malotke Writes - Updated Website

Guess who got new headshots done? Me! I've been continuing to submit various written pieces (poems, drabbles, flash fiction, short stories, etc.) and have been needing headshots for some of the submissions. Since I have been using my photo from senior year of college (shot for the fashion show program) I had decided that maybe it was time for some new, and way more recent, photos. Pictured left is one of my favorite photos from the photography session. I've already updated my website using a bunch of the photos and I've sent them off for social media / marketing for upcoming interviews & anthologies that I'm included in. Here is a link to my writing website: Malotke Writes
