Pattern Play

Petal possibilities.

Work on a pattern collection is starting to come together. Looking through my files, I realized, I have design elements that might compliment my new ideas. I played with a few color choices here, but they are still up in the air.

My thoughts and prayers are with the people of France, the survivors and the friends and family members who are suffering such horrific loss.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18

This was painted for the September challenge. One of my “extras”. Adding a bit of sun to my chilly day, and hopefully to your day as well.

Still working on several acrylic pieces. And researching ideas for a small fabric collection I am working on. These are sketches of design elements I like, found in The Grammar Of Ornament.

Gathering Ideas, sketches for pattern design.

Has anyone else started watching Christmas movies? I know, I am demented. But I have to do something to distract myself while I wait for the last season of Downton Abbey.

Happy creating everyone!
