Pattern, colour, resources, hints and tips. Friday, 23 January 2015. To round up this week's posts featuring graphic floral art, I thought I would focus on the work of Jessica Nielsen.

Pattern, colour, resources, hints and tips. Friday, 9 January 2015. Just thought I would share a little bit of the work I've been doing this week. I am preparing for my first trade show and trying to add lots of one off patterns to my portfolio. Also this week, I've been looking at Islamic art and tiles for inspiration. And I'm loving this book that I got for Christmas. So expect some 1950's inspired doodles soon! Labels: essential surface pattern design resources. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Pattern, colour, resources, hints and tips. Wednesday, 7 January 2015. Hope you are breezing through the beginning of the year with lots of energy and excitement for whatever you might have planned for 2015. I've got a rotten head cold which has slowed me down a little but I'm pushing through with lots of tea and paracetamol! I'm testing it on myself at the moment and when I am happy with the format I'm going to jazz it up with lovely lettering and patterns! I'd love to know! Try it: Cut Out Florals.
