#365Pattern Project WEEK ONE!

Hello All,

Things have slowed down here finally, so I have had the opportunity to start the #365 Project which was originally started here by The CaravanShoppe.

The idea is basic, create one pattern a day for a year.

A whole 365 days.

I wanted to take part a while back, I know some people started Jan 1st and are well on their way with the project and I have seen some fantastic work, especially from Sam Osborne and Julie Hamilton of Artistically Afflicted.

So here I share day 1-7 with you all. And I must say, it has been nice to design so freely with the only barrier being my colour palette (I have restricted it).

Isn't is amazing how one set of 7 colours can come across so different in each design below?

Enjoy the view.

P.S You can view each day's design in the #365Pattern Tab above.

Another Excuse......

Whoopsie... haven't blogged in weeks.

Can I still blame morning sickness-that-lasts-all-day?

Good, Alright. So I haven't been blogging, but I have been working. I've had a few little features, so don't forget to check out the 'my features' tab along the right hand side, I've entered a competition or two, and created a few new collections for my agent ( they are top secret though, Sorry!).

I Submitted 2 designs for this quarters MOYO Magazine. The theme was 'conversational prints'.

Not sure if they will be selected but I like them anyway.

I Also submitted these for the MOYO Competition that was based around the theme of Architecture.

I went with the idea of subway's and the patterned tiles that are usually adorned along the walls.

Did I get it right?

I LOVED this months Tigerprint competition, with a shiny new website, it was great to create a mood-board as part of the brief. The theme was Colour, and I am loving Pastels at the moment.
