Work in progress! A new pattern I'm working on. Lo Work in progress! A new pattern I'm working on. Loving the metallic green colour. 😍 #beads #beadwork #peyote #bracelets #braceletpattern #peyotestitch #jewellerymaking #crafts #crafting
Hi all! It's been a very long time since I've post Hi all! It's been a very long time since I've posted here. I've been working on a new venture - surface pattern design. This is my first attempt at a seamless pattern. It's part of a collection I'm working on called 'Mum's Garden'. Mum loved hedgehogs, and they always frequented her garden to enjoy the food she put out for them. 😍 Honest opinions! What do you think? Could this work for wrapping paper, notebook covers, etc? Thanks for looking! #surfacepatterndesign #creativebusiness #creativeentrepreneur #graphicdesign #digitalart #hedgehogs #patterns #seamlesspattern
