Bright Jewels Collection

This is my first collection of coordinate designs. Usually collections have a stripy, a dotty and a new take on the main design. This design was made with watercolour and fine black pen, scanned into photoshop and arranged to make a repeat pattern.

My Colour In Wallpaper at Degree Show

 

I had my design printed as wallpaper by Spoonflower.com and it was a great success at my degree show. I provided felt tips for the public to interact with the wallpaper and it was very popular especially with the young audience.

Made from Bark

I photographed this material made out of bark on my visit to Liverpool World Museum. Interesting texture and I like the geometric design elements.

Export a pattern tile using Illustrator CS6 created with the new pattern...

Very useful tutorial for saving just the repeat swatch!

You tube tutorial about making a Lace Pattern brush

I found this tutorial very useful and clear. It uses Photoshop to create the brush which is then used in Illustrator. I watched and I learned some new tricks in this part of the tutorial. I definitely need to learn how to use Illustrator to develop my pattern making skills!

Lace Brush in Photoshop

 

I wanted to make my own lace brush to use in Photoshop...and after scanning in some lace I found in my wardrobe I worked on it till I obtained the brush stroke in the picture above.

 I referred to a tutorial I viewed on you tube.

 

I used this brush to make my Raspberry Lace design. Below it's been applied to a cushion.
