Pattern 46/52

I designed my pattern for this week for the Spoonflower contest Moon Phases. It is another pattern from my Mallorca holiday and was created under the influence of the full moon there, right in front of our balcony: I like circles and circle-based designs and this geometric pattern came together in Illustrator: Head over to… Read More

This weekend my art buddy Doris Reske and me packed a lot of our smaller work and some paintings into a suitcase and put up at a stand at a local arts & crafts fair called Koffermarket here in Oldenburg. It was Doris idea to give it a try, besides doing our classical exhibitions and… Read More

Collages and Layers

I like to get my hands and studio messy with glue and papers from time to time and make some collage. It is a relaxing and surprising process and can be spread over a couple of days, with working on the different layers for a couple of minutes and then go back to kids, house,… Read More

Pattern 44/52

Being on the island of Mallorca those past two weeks, right in front of our hotel, I saw a lot of pink hibiscus. I am not such a big fan of those flowers and find them a tad overused in all kinds of tropical designs (which I had a lot of time to study on… Read More

Blue Moments – Water and Sky

If you know me a bit through my blog, work or personally, you might have noticed how much I am drawn to the colour pink. Our vacation on Mallorca had its pink moments for sure, but one colour was predominant there – blue. I would like to share a couple of these blue moments, that… Read More

Pattern 42/52

This week’s pattern was inspired by a tutorial in the Textile Design Lab, where I became a member in September – highly recommendable! It started out with some watercolour playtime in my studio painting all kinds of stripes: I painted stripes on watercolour paper and also on this strange yupo paper again (which took about… Read More

Pattern 41/52

A simple before-bed doodle in my sketchbook became the basis for this week’s pattern. Circles of different sizes, some felt markers and then I put this sketch into Photoshop, put it into a repeat and added a darker background: It is called “bacteria night party” and is my submission for the recent Spoonflower contest themed… Read More
