This is an old doodle from my art journal made into pattern. It’s exciting to make these 🙂 The lines I had to draw on computer but the leaves are just as they are on the photo:
-
Pattern for today. Didn’t have much time because I got up late. Weather is awful – went for a walk and got soaked by rain, had to run home and carry Lola…
-
More practice with layering elements. This one may have turned too busy. It’s all about balance, right? We are having another cloudy day here, plus it’s Monday… Sigh…
-
Another pattern with pale repeat in the background. I like how it adds interest and complexity. I need to practice making more complex patterns. Part of learning 🙂
Weather got worse it rained in the morning and now there is very strong wind. It will most probably spoil our walk… but there is still hope 🙂 And anyway I need to clean house, so no time will get wasted…

I made this one today from a detail of one of my art journal pages. I really like how subtle it is. It would work great on a wallpaper or summer skirt…
It’s Saturday and after the usual visit to the market, we had a walk which was partly in the light rain and partly in boiling humidity after the rain. But we did it anyway. I am arranging meetings with my new group of ladies from Flourish membership. Looking forward to meeting new people…

Today, there are Frenchies in Green Leaves and Pink Flowers 🙂
I worked for hours on this one. It was hard to arrange the elements and I am still not perfectly happy. But hey, I have come a long way in two weeks time. The day was nice and the fact that I was on holiday made it even better.

I forgot to post yesterday, so here are two new patterns I made yesterday and today and also a banner for my Spoonflower shop. Busy day ahead, so I will leave it here. The weather suddenly improved and I dare hope for a walk around noon 🙂
-
So these are the two versions of the pattern I worked on yesterday and today. The basic repeat square is the photo of the print I made yesterday. My goal was to preserve the imperfection of the print and get the working repeat pattern. It took a lot of time and a lot of trial and error, but I learned stuff too, so I am happy. I love the lime green background 🙂
-
Two things today. One is a pattern made of simple watercolor squares I painted yesterday. Pretty easy to make, and nothing special, maybe would be nice on a tissue box 🙂
The second is a stamp I carved today. I am trying to make a repeat pattern out of it in Photoshop and it’s really difficult, but I think I am getting there. I wanted to leave the background color because I really like it, but it’s not possible because the color is not uniform due to this being a photo, so once you repeat it, individual tiles are easily visible and that’s not ok. So now I am working on removing the background and moving two to three stamped images to make the distribution more even. I hope to finish by tomorrow.

Another pattern in the same style as the one I did yesterday. This one worked better, though I am not exactly thrilled. It’s raining, so it looks like there will be much house cleaning today. I need to do some additional shopping too. So this is how much art gets done today 🙂
