Design Inspiration

Inspired at the Shedd Aquarium

It was just amazing that a cloudy dreary day outside could be brightened up and turn around once inside the Shedd Aquarium. My family and I decided to take a spur of the moment outing there last week. I was so excited because the last time we went we didn’t have time to see the jellies exhibit and was really looking forward to seeing it this time. It was an amazing afternoon and I think we covered just about everything the Shedd had to offer. I was impressed and inspired by so very much. I invite you to take a walk through my afternoon there and check out what inspired and spoke to me. – Enjoy!

I love creating patterns. Creating patterns in col I love creating patterns. Creating patterns in collections is something fairly new to me and have always struggled with. I find my collections differ from the norm in that I try to keep a consistent theme with my pattern collections.  So instead of 1 or 2 hero prints with smaller and medium sized companion prints to go with them, I create patterns and motifs that have the same theme. For example, the same floral or plant family, or line work style, or sometimes even wildlife.  I will keep them all consistent with my choice of color palette and various color ways (as shown in this post) and for an extra pop I’ll throw in a bold color (sometimes 2).
..
 Remember, there is no right or wrong way when creating - just create as your heart and mind guide you…it’s a very gratifying experience.

Do you prefer to create patterns in collections or do you prefer to create all hero prints in various color ways?  Share your answer below ↓
