QuirkySewing Surface Pattern Design - A walk through the meadows

A walk through the meadows

Hey creative friends,

Time has not been on my side lately. As the responsibilities, joys and worries of a new mom kick in, my creative business has taken a step back. But taking things slower creatively speaking does not mean forgotten. On the contrary, it’s a chance for creativity to bundle up and spurt in the most beautiful and unexpected ways! And this is the case of my latest surface pattern design collection “A walk through the meadows”. I originally designed the hero pattern months ago, during a weekly pattern challenge held by a group on Facebook that I absolutely love which is called Surface Pattern Design Community. I since then re-worked the design as you can now see it and put together coordinate patterns to build a cohesive collection.

Hi creative friends,

I wanted to share awesome news with you: two of my favorite artists, Peggy Dean of The Pigeon Letters and Dylan Mierzwinski, have just started a workshop on Skillshare. Over the next two weeks, Dylan and Peggy will tackle a difficult task in the life of a creative artist: developing your own style. This is something that I struggle with myself  so it’s only natural that I was thrilled when I got wind of the workshop and couldn’t wait to share it with you!

Hi creative friends,

Spring is upon us, or so I hope. It’s time to put away the grays and the blacks, and add a splash of color to your designs, outfits or decor! And since this year’s Pantone color is Ultra Violet, I’ve done some research into the meaning and history of the color purple. It definitely came as a surprise that Pantone declared Radiant Orchid , so another shade of purple, to be the color of 2014. Hmn, only four years apart and already two shades of purple? It needs to be investigated!

Hi everyone,

I think you all got used to me writing a lot about and promoting my latest Skillshare class. And while that’s because I put a lot of work in creating “Design Intricate Flowers from Simple Illustrator Shapes” and I was (and still am) very excited that I manged to publish it in my scheduled timeframe, it’s not the only thing I occupy my time with 😀  Progress is a combination of learning and making, experimenting and trying out new things, new techniques and styles. So, today, I want to talk to you about a class that I absolutely adored 💓 on Skillshare. “Pattern Design II: A Creative Look at a Full Pattern Collection” is taught by my favorite surface pattern artist, Elizabeth Olwen, a true inspiration through her work and style.
