Lucy’s coloring book

New watercolor pattern I made today. It took several hours to clean the photo and make all parts and decide on composition. I have something completely different in mind when I started, but this is what came out and I am really happy with it. Uploading it to Spoonflower and I a few more patterns and I am ordering tests swatches and then definitely making a table cloth out of this one 🙂

Otherwise enjoying my Friday holiday, went for a bit of walk, put the foil on fence, which was quite a bit of work. Now off to cook some dinner and then rest…

Pattern for today. Added some turquoise flowers to pink ones. Have a lot of work today to finish before my holiday tomorrow. Weather is improving too, so I hope for a nice weekend…

So this is the pattern I mentioned yesterday. Simple but took a lot of time because I made a mistake when cropping the repeat image. Lesson learned, I hope.

It’s another rainy freezing day. I have a lot of meetings and work and a lot of private things to do, so maybe it’s a perfect day for that.

Variation on previous Frenchie pattern. The voting closes today on Spoonflower. I am happy because I received several likes and one follower, which is a big step forward from zero and being completely invisible. I hope I will get some votes too 🙂 Last night I posted the Glowing Sea pattern to this week’s challenge.

Today was a freezing winter day on 12 May. Another gardener came to check our garden and if everything goes well, he can start the works in August. Yeah… seems very far away, but it’s not really. Time runs away so fast.

I worked on another watercolor pattern today, but made a mistake in design and spent a lot of time to correct it… Ah well… I will post it tomorrow, need to double-check it’s really working 🙂

I finally succeeded with watercolor patterns! First one is called Bluegreen Flowers and the second one Glowing Sea. Not very inventive with naming my artwork, but as I have to name the files to save them, it helps come up with a name. I think I will enter the Glowing Sea into this weeks Spoonflower challenge. I thought I would skip this one, but as I already made this with the challenge in mind, I may as well post it. The challenge name is bioluminescence and the point is to create high contrast and illusion of glow. I like these challenges, they push me to create something I would not consider creating otherwise.

Today, there is another patters from unfinished collection because I was again playing with Photoshop. I managed to produce a watercolor pattern, but I did not like it, so I am not posting. I will try again. In the meantime, I will run out of patterns from this unfinished collection, so I better start creating… It was a nice day, we went for a long walk, maybe it was a bit too warm for Lola, but we came home somehow and even played some fetch. Lola got an infected wrinkle on her face, which greatly upsets me because I am wiping those wrinkles every day… Oh, I guess I should wipe better…

There’s another pattern from my never finished collection. Actually, I kind of really like it. I think I will upload both to Spoonflower and S6. Anyway… one more day spent trying to figure out Photoshop. So far no success with what I have in mind, but I will keep trying and learning. I already. learned a lot. It’s another beautiful day, went to the market for food in the morning and then had a short walk, washed some windows and played with Photoshop. Also played with Lola 🙂 Off to cook dinner now.

This patter I created some time ago, as a part of collection I started and never finished. I am posting it today, because I did not create anything new because I was struggling the whole day with learning Photoshop, which I bought in the morning after being really frustrated that I cannot make my paintings into repeat patterns in Illustrator. Long story. Thankfully I was on holiday today, so I could spend the whole day staring at computer screen. Time well spent…

Made these two patterns today. The second one is very pale… thinking if it would work maybe as wrapping paper or bedding or blanket… if someone is really into very subtle patterns, which sometimes I am…

On the negative side, one tooth is acting weird since last night. I am worried it might be a start of another root canal horror story… I hope not… 😦

This morning I first carved a little stamp and then worked on my Logo.

I think this is the final color. I like the rough look 🙂

I uploaded the logo to my new instagram page, so that’s settled. Now I need to work on posting my patterns 🙂
