Meet the Designer: Dinara May | Spoonflower Blog

Today we’re elated to introduce watercolor designer Dinara May (aka dinaramay in the Spoonflower Marketplace) for this week’s Meet the Designer series. Dinara’s home base may be in Moscow, however, she has spent the past year and a half traveling the world on a self-described “amazing journey of personal transformation and self-acceptance.” All the while, Dinara stays true to her unique vision of expressing her art and her human existence through being 100% present in her inward and outwardly exploration. We’re willing to bet you’ll be in your own meditative state by the end of this inspiring interview.

My day starts with:

“Tea and meditation. I don’t get to work until after lunch so my mornings are usually very slow and full of the things I love. I like to treat myself in the morning, it gives me a great boost for the rest of the day.”

This week our contest is built around fabric designs created using water colors and digitized using a minimal amount of software manipulation. As you look through the entries (there are 70), some of the designs were clearly created using paint and others…. well, it's hard to tell. As you vote, it's probably worth keeping in mind the theme and letting your sense of fidelity to theme — as well as the beauty of the patterns — guide your choices of favorites. But the most important thing, as always, is to have fun and find inspiration.
