Category: Repeat Pattern Design

I really don’t like those favorite things lists that pop up from celebrities, I don’t give a f**k about what they like, but I may be in the minority here!

Never the less that is the prompt for this week’s Spoonflower challenge

My choice for this challenge was simple. A humble packet of seeds, The joy they give me is immense, from the excitement of choosing them, to starting them off in seed trays and waiting in anticipation for those first shoots. Then comes my impatience as I wait for the Chicago weather to finally reach a point where they might possible survive outside. The planting, the tending and finally the blooms. I mean, what is not to love!

I created two colorways but am planning on entering the darker of the two

Seed Packet Love

It’s not yet Christmas yet here I am thinking about Valentines day as a result of this week’s Spoonflower challenge

Lets face it Valentines day is a commercial load of “balls” but it is hugely popular so it does indeed deserve a design or two. I have done a whole collection in the past, Love me Do and will be adding a few patterns!

I did a couple of hero design and am not sure which one to enter yet

It also did a little non directional coordinate

Occasionally a Spoonflower design challenge prompt has me stumped on what to create but that was definitely not the case with this week’s “Art Deco” The funny thing is, is that I am not that keen on art deco design but the ideas just kept rolling out of my head and it was difficult to pick which one to enter.

This is what I went with

Art Deco Teal

Are here are some other ideas I came up with. All are now for sale in my Spoonflower shop

The only tattoos I really like, are those beautiful abstract line art ones! So that was the inspiration behind my design for the tattoo flash sheet design challenge this week

Abstract Feminine Tattoos

I also mucked about with another version but decided to go with the pink one. Both designs are now for sale in my Spoonflower shop in various scales

What ever happened to a a basket in the corner for your pet dog? These days some pooches have better dwellings that their human friends! This week’s Spoonflower challenge is barkitecture or pet first architecture!

It was a fun one to design!

Dogsville Meadow

I also created a couple of coordinated prints

It is always fun learning about new traditions and the Spoonflower design challenge prompt this week, is Fika – a tradition I was completely unaware of. It is a Swedish coffee break where friends share a mug of something hot and indulge in a sweet treat. What is not to love about that!

I created two versions of Fika Friends and entered the dark version

I went crazy with color for the Spoonflower challeng ethis week- Out of this world Botanical. Weirdness prevails in this one, with bizarre flowers and leaves.

Martian Botanical

I do like designing florals and for this week’s challenge I reworked a previous challenge winning design into a more Victorian era floral

Rococo Rose
