Surface Pattern Design

So I am now at the end of week 2 of the Surface Pattern Design course so I thought I would just share a few of my photos and one of my designs.

It's been really interesting so far, getting back into drawing has been scary but brilliant, inspiration is everywhere if you look for it ......

My first "stab" at a design

New Stuff

I'm rather obsessed with pattern and colour, I guess that's what drives most crafters huh?

When I first started card making I loved all the scrapbook supplies, the patterned and coloured paper, and although I don't make cards any longer, I am still very much drawn to the same things but in fabric form.

A while ago I read about a new surface pattern design  course run by two very inspirational ladies Beth Nicholls  and  Rachel Taylor. I've read and re-read all the blurb and testimonials about this course and ummed and aaahed about taking the plunge but today I had my "life's too short" head on and I have registered for the first module, which starts on Monday.

I'm rather terrified and excited at the same time,

As you can see, I am currently using a generic blog header which is a teeny bit embarrassing given the fact I am waxing lyrical about my obsession with pattern eh? Hopefully I will be able to put my soon to be learned skills in place very soon.

Have a great weekend!
