Pattern 8/52

This week’s pattern I designed for a Spoonflower design challenge called “coral, mint, black and white”. And these are exactly the colours you are supposed to work with, and only these colours.

The last pages in my main sketchbook. I have been The last pages in my main sketchbook.

I love that the prints show the broad range of materials I work with - watercolour, acrylics, paint markers, digital painting on the iPad, Photoshop and vector Illustrator prints.

Thank you to all my clients for supporting independent designers like me 🌸😊🌸

Three weeks ago I was dreaming loudly about the fi Three weeks ago I was dreaming loudly about the first poppies of the season here on Instagram. And last week I saw the first Spanish poppies blooming on the way back home from the supermarket, which then took me by surprise. But hey, it‘s May!

Back home I took out my paintbrush and put the artwork in repeat today - and now it’s uploaded and ready for licensing via my @patternbank account. To more poppies to come 💫
