As a creator, its always a struggle to figure out a new topic or new design. There are lots of artist across the world creating really cute things with the same subject matter, but different results. Here are a few successful creations with animals as the subject matter.
Another piece I found didnt specifically have animal imagery, but within the adbstract design I see a cute little yellow chickie;)
HevVin Designs make these adorable wine carriers with different fabric designs - the elephants are super cute.
No matter what the subject matter, there are different ways to take it and make it your own. Keep creating!
