Our house in Nebraska was right along the path of the Solar Eclipse in August 2017. We were exactly along the line of the maximum and this meant we had a full minute of Eclipse magic. I designed these fabrics using colors sampled from photos of the eclipse and then riffed off of various impressions. I did not just simply "adjust" any photo of the eclipse, but instead used flare filters and circles in Photoshop to build my own eclipse effect.
I ordered fabric from Spoonflower printed with my five favorite designs. I had one yard created of each of two fabrics and then two fat quarters and a 5x5 sample square created of the other three. This shirt design allows me to maximize fabric usage. I also had some appliqué/embroidery fun.
