Pantone Colors of the Year 2021

December 9, 2020January 17, 2021

Pantone announced their 2021 color for the year today and it turned out to be not one but two colors, Illuminating and Ultimate Gray.

Illuminating is a sunny bright yellow and Ultimate Gray is to me a downright boring gray … or grey , depending on which side of the pond you live on.

They remind me of the color combination you get with a hard boiled egg ..that little gray line the outlines the yolk.

The thought process from Pantone is that the yellow is for optimism and the gray is for dependability and sort of reflects the mood moving forward in 2021 and hopefully away from Covid and all the mess it has created.

Maybe I was ahead of the curve as I was using a very similar color paring back in 2017 with the create of my first fabric collection: contemporary circles

I have created a new collection on my spoonflower and RedBubble shops in celebration of the 2021 Colors of the year – only the two solids and a one design so far but I will be adding more patterns shortly!

One Line Birds- Continuous Line Contour Design

December 8, 2020January 17, 2021

This weeks Spoonflower challenge calls for a repeat design created using a single unbroken line which captures movement- Continuous Line Contour

That. I can tell you, is quite a challenge!

My mind immediately went to something flying through the air and I revisited the design I had created for The Artistic Voice challenge and played around with it for quite some time to turn in into a design made from a continuous line.

Blue Boho Spiralize Wallpaper

December 2, 2020January 8, 2021

One of my favorites ways to use wallpaper is on the back wall of a bookcase or shelf unit so I was excited to see the Spoonflower design challenge this week. The prompt was to design a wallpaper specifically to as a backdrop in a DreamBox. A Dreambox is the ultimate storage and work area for craft projects.

My approach was to design something interesting to look at but not compete with whatever supplies are going to be adorning the shelves. In my experience craft supplies have enough going so I opted for a restful monotone blue design and Blue Boho Spiralize was born.
