NOTE: If at any time any links to the next blog do not work then refer here and it will tell you where to go next =) We've all worked super hard and would hate for you to miss a blog post!!!
If you have just jumped into the bloghop at my post then you are at number 30 in the running order, so you can either carry on from here and loop your way around or you can click this link here and start from the beginning at Pattern Addict's blog.
The theme for this bloghop is 'Let's Fly', we are all new designers trying to make our way into the surface pattern world so felt it was an appropriate theme as we are all finding our wings and reaching for the sky!
I chose to base my designs around Butterflies, the idea came to me when I was working on my logo, here you can see the petals look a little like butterfly wings. I liked the simplicity of the design so started with some motifs and developed them from there.
So here goes....my three designs using the PANTONE colour of 2013 (which is Emerald!)
I've even put together some product images of what my designs will look like! I thought the top two designs would work well on childrens dresses and experimented a little with how it could be placed and scaled.
The smaller butterfly design would be ideal for stationary products!
Thank you for stopping by and having a gander at my designs! Hope your enjoying the bloghop so far, please do leave a comment before you whizz off to Julie Hamilton of Artistically Afflicted's blog which is all the way in Canada! =)
P.S Just want to say a massive Well Done to all the ladies involved! and a huge Thank You to Rosie Martinez-Dekker of Believe Creative Studio who has curated the whole thing!
