Midnight Flowers Pattern

Midnight Flowers Art Print

One of the newest designs available at my RedBubble and Society6 shop is what I like to call my Midnight Flowers Pattern. This past weekend I continued with my theme of exploration in my artwork. I tried a few new techniques, and ventured out of my usual work process to explore different styles of patterning. One style in particular I explored was mandala artwork, and I made a variety of mandalas and repeating patterns with mandala elements. This is one of them!

Out of all the new designs I created this weekend, this is one of my favourites. It is pretty and simple, and the colours I used reminds me of the willow pottery design - I have always loved the blue and white colour palette that is used for it. I actually created this pattern using the tangles pattern that I made last month as a base! I took a section of that pattern and repeated it differently in adobe illustrator. You can hardly tell that they are from the same linework, but if you look closely you can start to see the similarities.

This simple design has small details that makes it a great fit for home decor.

I hope to add it to my Zazzle shop soon as well!

Sloth Gifts: Home Decor Edition

Hi guys, its been a while since I've added a post about my sloth design, and I've added it to so many new things! My sloths design is by far my most popular, as sloths are so easy to love with their lazy smiles and their chill attitude. If you know a sloth lover, or are a sloth lover yourself, you may be interested in this collection of sloth home decor items! :D Some of these items are decorated in a seamless sloth pattern, and some with sloth related jokes and puns of course. :) They are sure to make you smile, too.

Here are my picks for sloth home decor!

Gold and Red Leaf Pattern | New at my shop!

I've continued my burst of creativity well into October - although I have had less time to actually draw, I've been looking at some of my recent work in new ways. If this pattern looks familiar, its because it is! I reworked my Autumn leaf pattern to shine and stand out in a beautiful red and gold colour palette!

I've been all about the shine lately, adding gold everywhere possible and pairing it with a variety of different colours. I think that this gold leaf pattern with a deep red background is surprisingly a really nice, elegant pattern for the holidays! While the colour theme is very much a holiday palette, the subject matter of different shapes of leaves is not, so I thought it gave this design a unique twist and makes it stand out from the traditional christmas tree designs.

I originally drew these leaves in a vector format using Adobe illustrator. Photoshop was used in this rework however - I played around with the colour until I got the perfect shade of gold to go with the deep red. Of course like my other patterns, this one is also seamless. :)

I've added this pattern to my RedBubble, Zazzle, and Society6 shops. (My Society6 shop is moving along nicely by the way, I plan on sharing more details about it at the end of the month, but I am liking it a lot!)

I especially love this pattern on home decor. These colours stand out and are elegant, adding beautiful accents to a room.

A gold monogram on this tote bag makes the perfect personalized accessory! :)

Customize this tote bag with your initial at Zazzle.

Redbubble shop open!

Hi guys! A couple of days ago I opened up a redbubble account, and would like to share some of the stuff on it with you! It seems they have a pretty wide variety of items. My fave so far is the option for duvet covers and stickers. What I don't particularly like about redbubble is that they do not have the option to "tile" your image... so if you have a repeatable pattern, you literally have to tile it in photoshop or illustrator, save a HUGE file and then you can fit it on everything. My computer is older and can't handle giant files like that, so when I make duvet covers the design really only fits on a twin or queen, not a king. Which is okay by me, because my designs are aimed more at children rather than adults.

Here are some of the products though,  let me know what you think!

Here is my sheep and hearts pattern in a twin size duvet cover!  I think it is pretty cute. I would make more duvet covers if the option to tile the picture was there!

One of the things I like about redbubble is their stickers. The stickers are cutout which is nice!

Penguins in Scarves Pattern... looks great on a blue background, but you can change the background to be any colour!

One thing I just found out... sharing from redbubble to blogger is rather hard. I had to screenshot my products and then manually link them. I guess I will have to get used to it :P 

Does anyone else use both redbubble and zazzle? Which one do you prefer and why?
