More index cards

I seem to be totally stuck on creating patterns for fabric lately...
I have always loved doing patterns, starting with the fabric in the ladies clothes when i was doing all the falling ladies...
Then there was the patterns in circles in my mandalas, 
Now to turn those same patterns into repeating patterns is so much fun....

And i have gone to index cards and pens instead of my watercolors, just temporarily, because to make the repeating patterns i cut the cards in quarters or use two or even four taped together. And i don't want to cut up my sketchbook, but i have no problem cutting index cards. 
Plus i love the colors in my set of pens, bright but juicy looking, 
like fruit flavors....


The current weekly contest at spoonflower is cephalopods....

  3. Fantastic index cards. Is the program you're working in meant to design patterns for material? If so, how awesome! I've been wanting to do something similar but for wrapping paper. :D Happy Friday!

  6. Oh. Wow. Amazing!!! My mom sewed a lot and it was always a delight for me to go to the fabric store with her, marveling in all the patterns, picking out my favorites, tracing patterns with my fingers, wondering who made them and how...now I know... It was you!!;-)
