UPPERCASE Surface Pattern Design Guide

I'm thrilled to be included in the new UPPERCASE Magazine Surface Pattern Design Guide! A part of the most recent issue, it's packed full of delightful print and pattern and well-worth the read.

River Flowers

I took the dog for a walk by the river and came back with a bouquet of Lady's Thumb, Goldenrod, Beach Pea and Fireweed. Here's a pattern with those last bits of summer.

And I've forgotten to mention, on the sidebar I've added a sign up for my monthly newsletter. If that's your jam, I'll be sending out shop updates, new work, local event information and subscriber downloads.

Happy Weekend!

Queen Anne's Lace

A pattern inspired by afternoon walks on a nearby trail, the sides of which are lined with Queen Anne's Lace. It's a path I've never explored until this year and wish I had far sooner. Ten minutes down the trail and I can't hear cars, trains or planes, just perfectly blissful silence.

And speaking of patterns, I've added a bunch of new designs to my Spoonflower shop

Farmhouse Flowers

I needed a break from the drafting table this afternoon, so took a couple minutes to mess about with a pattern.

I haven't had a chance to sew much this year, which I miss. But if I did, I'm pretty sure I'd turn the above into a sundress, pronto.

For the Love of Mother Earth

Find this (and two other designs I painted) available as a free digital download over on Spoonflower. Enjoy!

The Swing of Things

 

Back into the swing of things this week: thumbnails, lettering, catching up on Serial's second season and some pattern making (case in point, above).

Also, there may have been a chocolate sea salt cruller (because, January).

Elks and Echinacea

A pattern I'm finishing up at the moment.
