Fabrics Made From Paper Collages: Vote For the Next Fabric Of the Week

This week's Fabric Of the Week contest theme is about process. Using a collage created from paper as the source, we asked designers to create a fabric by scanning the collage. The idea was to showcase examples of fabric designs that have relied on a minimum of digital manipulation. The entries are terrific, as usual. After you finish voting, you might enjoy watching a short video about the collage process used by childrens' illustrator Eric Carle to create the art for his books, which include The Very Hungry Caterpillar (and many of the other titles that line our little girls' bookshelves).
