Repeating Patterns!

Here are some of my newest fabric designs. I'm making myself design repeating patterns! I was very surprised at how simple it was to actually do it and now kicking myself for not learning sooner. NowI can focus more on more elaborate designs. These are some photos you can see a little bit of my work process. It was done using a Bamboo tablet in Adobe Photoshop.

With the background, it seemed a little crowded to me.

This seemed more pleasing on it's own.

It repeats!

Hand Drawn Fabric Design

Since I just finished a cool project with the wedding certificate I decided to enter the weekly fabric design contest. The category was "Hand Drawn" so it seemed to perfect not to enter.

Jellyfish Fabric Desigin

Here is a quick design I did with the theme "Jellyfish". With this one I am playing around with line and basic colors. It is a really odd theme to try to design a fabric to but I think I did alright.

Art Deco Fabric Design

I'm experimenting with fabric patterns again. I think I am getting a little better at them but I'm still not fully satisfied. One that is more up close is just an experiment that shows the process I went through. When I repeated it, I changed the colors but it still has the same basic pattern.

First Attempt at a Fabric Design

I know this is a very simple design but I am just playing around with a new website I found where they have weekly fabric contests. This weeks theme is "Outdated Technology". Not exactly an easy theme to start with. I based mine off of typewriter keys. I guess in a few days I will get to see what ideas others have come up with. I think I did ok for doing it the night before the contest deadline. Now I can start on next weeks!
