Bucketfeet + Spoonflower Make the Coolest Shoes

Rachel Jaggers of Spotted Pepper Designs

Once everything is vectorized in Adobe Illustrator and placed appropriately, I pull up my favorite color pallets. My color pallets consist of pre-selected colors I have pulled from photography or I believe would go well together. This part is always fun with possibly a pinch of challenging. I usually know that I have created a great pattern when it looks fantastic in multiple color ways. This is the challenging part because I have to pick my favorite and that’s like asking me between key lime pie or tacos. I would settle for both if it was possible! I am also fabulously lucky to have a great tribe who is always willing to help a girl out when she just can’t make up her mind.

When I am not creating fabrics I enjoy creating fine art in pen and ink or Crayola twistables. Hey, I’m a mom, I gotta do with what I have! I love creating elements that wouldn’t typically go together. Such as a lions mane made out of flowers, or peppers with polka-dots!

 

 I absolutely adore helping others with creating beautiful spaces through sewing and art! It has brought me so much joy, and I love sharing that joy with others. To see more of my work feel free to visit my instagram @spottedpepperdesigns or my webpage www.spottedpepper.com

Inga Girvica

Our northern-most designer, Inga, hails from Daugavpils, a small town in the southeast of Latvia, Europe. In her own words: “I’ve opened my shop on Spoonflower about a month ago. I decided to try to create a design for fabric and take a part in this wonderful challenge.

I fell in love with design when I spent my summertime in my childhood in the countryside or on the sea coast. I was inspired by beauty of the nature, weather, sea or forest smells, magic of floral world and communication with the animals. Nature inspire me every day. I’m keen on photograph and like to spend my free time in the forest.

The secret to a strong collection is ability to have a curious look on the world, keenness, alive heart and a desire to communicate with the world. Best advice I ever received – keep on walking.” … We presume she means in a pair of Bucketfeet shoes 🙂

 I am first A Mom, to three adorable kids, that are both, rascals and angels at the same time, secondly I am an Artist and Designer Maker of fibre art and sculpture.  Trained in Fashion and Textile Design.  I remain passionate to my roots of pattern and design.  I live with my family in Rural Kent known as “The garden of England” which is an inexhaustible source of amazement and inspiration for my work.  My design for the Spoonflower and Bucketfeet collaboration Themed Oceans evolved from my interest and intrigue in evolutionary biology and speciation where beauty evolves in the most fragile and hostile of environments, weird and wonderful organic life forms emerge and thrive.

My Spoonflower shop is filled with designs that fit my design aesthetic: quirky, layered, organic, style, that is playful & rich in colour.

We’re so thrilled to see these designs come to life; plus each of these artists receives a portion of the profits made from their designs.  As all of us in the Spoonflower offices can vouch, Bucketfeet shoes are suuuuper comfy and fit true to size. These limited-edition kicks are only available for pre-order for two weeks, so support our designers and reserve yours before they are gone for good!
