So…I made my first pattern collection!
While taking the Immersion course with Bonnie Christine, I was creating the motifs for a collection. By the end of the course I was able to put all of my newly acquired skills together to complete an entire pattern collection. This is a big deal for me!
During the past year I have been creating my own patterns using my original watercolour motifs and then trying to put them together using my skills in Photoshop. But Photoshop does not hold a candle to Illustrator when it comes to creating a pattern. So it was high time to learn Adobe Illustrator and that is what I did.
I named my collection Leaping Forward as we were on the verge of spring as I took the Immersion course and it was a nod to my decision to leap into a new adventure.
A collection consists of two hero prints…
Bird in Paradise
Royal Lotus
Then there are a variety of blender prints and coordinates…
Dripping Down & Backyard Bunnies
Field Flowers & Scratchy Grass
Little Minis & Picnic in the Park
Sketchy Blooms & Budding Blooms
Looking back I have so much to learn, but looking forward…I am ready to leap!
