As I mentioned I skipped over June's pattern (life happened!) but I'm here with July's which is going to be part of a three-piece submission. I'm going to be reaching for the stars with who I'm going to submit to (why the hell not?) but I'll reveal who once I've finished. The first pattern I've designed is birds and volcanos. I actually worked on this for my spirityou art prompt but I have no issue with repurposing :)
This month's Creative Mock & Submit is a week late because I originally painted the design, scanned it and then went about digitally vectoring it - time consuming (for me!). After I was finished with the digital design I realised it lacked the original magic of the painted version. So I repainted the design in some updated colours and cleaned it up in photoshop. I'm submitting this month's piece to Melbourne company, Gorman known for its outrageously bright and happy designs. Last year they launched their kid's range, Gorman Playground and since, it's always been a dream of mine to design kid's clothing it was a no-brainer to head in that direction.
This month's Creative Mock & Submit challenge was easy, I had a dream of doing a peacock pattern and contacting the lovely Justina of Jungalow fame. I had a few sketches but ultimately decided to keep the blue iconic peacock colour with an art deco twist. What I like about this design is how it fits nicely into a repeated pattern :)
For Feb's Creative Mock & Submit challenge, I decided to enter the life is a mesh scarf comp. It had to be a scarf I would be ecstatic to wear myself. I came up with a few designs but ultimately my love of orchids won out in the end :)
