Donkey Elephant USA Fabric

2012, democrat, donkey, election, elephant, fabric, fabric design, Handmade, Kristin Bell, obama, red white and blue, republican, romney, sewing, sewn, spoonflower, United States, US Government, US Politics, USA

I made this fabric for another contest over at spoonflower.com . For this contest, we were supposed to use the donkey and the elephant and incorporate them in a way where they were kind of getting along (much the opposite of reality unfortunately)! I wanted the middle stripes to be purple as a symbol of the combining of blue and red, but it sort of turned out more blue that I’d hoped. I also wanted the donkey and elephant to look like they were talking to each other. If you want to check out the fabric, it is available at this link: http://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/1406600
