A detailed, lacy, monochrome mandala in shades of golden yellow, cream, dark rust brown, deep red and coral. Just being playful with colors and shapes here!
I did this little illustration for a greeting card design on my GCU store, but my children really liked it and convinced me to post it elsewhere, too. : )
I think in doodles. Ink in my veins. : )
This floral / nature pattern was hand drawn in pencil and then colored digitally in rainbow shades. A design with lots of details and a Moroccan feel to the shapes and rhythm of the repeat.
Where I'm living now, there are squirrels everywhere, my children are loving watching them, it is all new to them to see squirrels in the garden. : )
Hand drawn with pencil, colored & finished in Photoshop.

Hand drawn with pencil and coloured & made into a pattern in Photoshop.
More of what grows in my garden. Butterflies are symbolic of resurrection, hope, joy, and new beginnings, but often these things only come through dark times and hard experiences. Today was, for me, one of those days, but working on this pattern lifted my spirit. This is for my husband.
My little Levi, who is nearly three now, is a HUGE fan of triceratops. (That was an understatement.) This is for him. : )
Hand drawn with pencil, colored and turned into a pattern in Photoshop.
