Pattern 10/52

Another week, another pattern, another contest. This is my submission for the Spoonflower contest “Spoons”: For this pattern I learned a couple of new things. First of all I made the pattern in Photoshop (I usually use Illustrator). The spoons are simple line drawings of spoons that I scanned in and then applied some golden… Read More

Winter or Spring?

February is such a hybrid of a month. There are still those winter days, when my feelings and paintings look like this: And then, there might be a day, like Friday last week, that feels like the first day of spring, with sunshine and blue skies all day long, a certain sweet and fresh smell… Read More

Pattern 7/52

For this week’s pattern I just couldn’t help it – it is Valentine’s Day tomorrow. Hearts, hearts, hearts, on a postcard in a half drop pattern repeat. The hearts are simple doodles, one is based on this thing I found in our living room. Have a beautiful and lovely day!

My Shop is Open

So now not only these pillows are for sale, but also a whole lot of other products with my paintings and pattern on them. A few examples: Society6 also produces art and canvas… Read More

Lotuses, Lotuses

Colour comes back into my paintings, the lotus shapes are staying. Here is a recent painting: Looks ok as it is, but look what a little Photoshop can do: Fancy a pillow? (more about that tomorrow, exciting announcement!) One night last week after coming back from a Kundalini yoga class, I further developed one of… Read More

Pattern 6/52

My pattern of the week is actually a whole collection: Like in my paintings, I am also attracted to a softer palette in my patterns at the moment. Being a yoga teacher, lotus motifs usually feel to cliché for me and I avoid them, but these just came naturally to me and were inspired by… Read More

Pattern 4/52

Like I said in the snowflake pattern post 3/52 – flowers are great for wallpaper all year round. One of the first exercises in Module 2 of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design was to simply find an item in your living room and make a sketch of it. I chose this flower… Read More

Pattern 1/52

I am happy to announce a new year-long project today! As my three 365-day-projects have ended with the end of last year, I first felt some relieve for a while this month. Carolina has stopped taking her afternoon naps coinciding with the end of the photo-project and I can declutter now only when I feel… Read More
