I’m clearly very far behind on this project! But instead of beating myself up over it, I’m just going to keep sharing them as they come. Here are two very different options for your patterning needs. Pattern #11: Spring Swirl I was browsing an old sketchbook (and I mean OLD–like before I was even thinking […]

Hot Pattern-A-Day: Pattern #9 & #10
Before launching into the next couple of patterns, I feel I should explain the Pattern-A-Day project a little bit. You may look at the collection and say “These aren’t really patterns, Smarty.” And I’ll say, “You’re right. They are tiles for a seamless repeat pattern.” While the image itself may or may not be a […]
Hot Pattern-A-Day: Pattern #7 & #8
Today is a twofer since I didn’t get to post yesterday. Pattern #7: Argyle Love Connection I’ve been a fan of argyle for years, so for today, I thought I’d show it a little love…connection. The lines connect star-crossed lovers all across your desktop! If you repost, all I ask is you provide a link […]
Hot Pattern-A-Day: Pattern #6
Pattern #6: Pole Position I was inspired by this weekend’s trip to the LeMay Car Museum. The cars were beautiful and the building itself was a sight to see! I’m only a casual car enthusiast. “Appreciator” is more of an accurate term. My husband is the true enthusiast, pointing out the horsepower of this, the […]
Hot Pattern-A-Day: Pattern #5
Pattern #5: Bright Boho This is a little bit of a cheat, but I liked #4 so much, I created a couple of different colorways. I can see these sunny amoeba-flowers gracing a tote bag or little clutch. Of course, I post these here for electronic use, but maybe someday I’ll get into textile design. […]
Hot Pattern-A-Day: Pattern #4
Pattern #4: Boho Summer This one was a lot of fun. I used an actual PENCIL and PAPER! I liked it so much, I made it the cover image for the Committed Facebook page. You could fiddle with it and do the same! All I ask is you provide a link back to my blog […]
Hot Pattern-A-Day: Pattern #3
Pattern #3: Georetro I’m kind of excited about this one. Inspired by Charley Harper’s awesome geometric animals, and just a 60s look in general, I wanted to bring in some fun shapes and colors and see if they’d work together in a seamless pattern. Maybe repeat it to create a nice timeline header? All I […]
Hot Pattern-A-Day: Pattern #2
Pattern #2: Lateral Lavender This pattern was originally inspired by plaid and gingham, but went another, more modern direction. I am thinking it’ll be a good one for a desktop! All I ask is you provide a link back to my blog to let folks know where you got it.
Hot Pattern-A-Day: Freebies for Friends
For the month of August, I’ve decided to sharpen my design chops and do a little daily project. Every day, I’ll be designing a seamless pattern. The plan is to design a pattern each day and post for you lovely readers to download and use as backgrounds for your blogs, twitter pages, or other social/electro-/inter-media. […]
