BLOGHOP

I came across a great idea today that I would like to share. I love looking at other designers work, the creativeness and individuality, the way the world is perceived in many different ways.
The whole idea of a blog hop is new to me so when I saw the 'Let's Fly!' Blog hop advertisement on Facebook I couldn't resist a peak. The whole thing is curated by; Believe creative studio www.believe-cs.com and starts at www.patternaddict.blogspot.fr
The idea is that a large group of designers/ bloggers showcase their surface pattern designs, (based on one shared brief - Let's Fly!) on their own blogs with a link to another designers blog and work after, and so on. You continue to follow each link until you reach the end.
The theme is about their first journey/flight into new careers as surface pattern designers. Each individual design collection incorporates the Pantone colour of the year 2013- Emerald 17-5641 TCX.
It really is a visionary delight and a must to try!
Be quick it runs from 10-13 January 2013

New Year, New Beginnings

Firstly Happy New Year to you all.

Last year was a great year in the sense I finally graduated from University. A big milestone for me seeing as I mainly studied part time whilst looking after two small children.
This year I hope to get my illustrations or designs for surface pattern noticed in the public eye. It will be a new venture which will be challenging, nerve racking and exciting all at the same time. I have started to create a few little designs that can be seen on Spoonflower which is on going in my style development.
Also instead of just sharing my own work, I will be trying to share all of the interesting new blogs/websites I have been coming across lately.
