Deep Dive

So a few days ago I posted some new patterns I worked on recently. I wanted to focus on one of them to share some of the sketches. I've talked before about how I get a little obsessed with various shapes so that's pretty much the case here.

So the pattern above is digitally done, but I kept playing with the shape and decided to do a hand-drawn version. The size is 14"x11" and I used my favorite Sharpie pens.

Here's a close up. Ooo, Sharpie pen.

And here's a sketch that I did as I was playing around with the idea.

You can tell that I'm learning calligraphy because I've been practicing all over the place. And here's the pencil sketches when I was first trying to figure out the right shape.

The end!

Vacation Inspiration

Woo! I'm back with some new patterns! Kevin and I recently travelled to Costa Rica for a nice vacation. It was so beautiful! The plants and animals were my favorite thing about it. 

I set a goal a whiiile back to make more patterns and attempt to create a collection of patterns that sort of fit together. So I finally get to check that off the list with the first one.  I think they would make some fun, summery fabrics. 

Maybe I'll get really motivated and post them to Spoonflower! We bought ourselves a new camera for the trip (so many sloth photos, awww). But here is a totally random selection of photos we took that I used for inspiration:
