Patterns

I think I’m falling in love with pattern design.

I’ve tried a few with only digital techniques, and that’s a lot of fun. Like these two (inspired by my west coast roots, and a design project I recently did for a Vancouver Island blogger):

Arbutus trees with wintery ocean colours …

And whales and hearts.
  
I’ve been working on my watercolour skills almost daily, lately, and it’s just so much fun to get back to being hands on in a more traditional way. I got so caught up in photoshop and illustrator the last several years, finding my way back to putting pen and brush to paper has been nothing short of exhilarating. There’s no “undo” command. It’s like I’m living on the edge ….
Today I decided to create a pattern based on breakfast.

Do you have a pattern recommendation? Name something in the comments and let’s see what I come up with.

Thanks for stopping by!
