Ditsy

At Spoonflower this week everyone's designing ditsy prints. I was definitely getting into the spirit of it and being really ditsy.. and indecisive but that's normal :) I did a lot of drawing and painting, toing and froing, and found ditsy prints are quite hard to keep fresh and will happily evolve into your gran's old wallpaper if you don't keep your eye on them.

See?

I decided to simplify the colours and here's what I came up with:

Northern Autumn, Southern Spring

Northern Autumn, Southern Spring
A limited palette (3-colour plus white) design for the Autumn contest. The background is grey - my 3rd colour - with a white pattern that's ended up looking quite warm and felty. If you have a sec, vote here!

Into the Blue

Into the blue.

These birds are soaring into the Spoonflower blue! This colour is so reminiscent of the 50's and 60's, I used a pattern of white dots to shade the clouds that many pop artists used in that era. This contest was palette limited to black and white, spoonflower blue and one other colour.
