Pattern making

I spent a large part of this weekend making patterns:

Sonia Delaunay and avant-garde pattern

Sonia Delaunay was part of the avant-garde movement during the 1920s and 1930s producing textiles, surface patterns and prints. Just beautiful - would love an exhibition to come to London soon. Much of her work was commissioned by the Dutch department store Metz who are now owned by Liberty's. Hopefully Liberty's still produce some of these designs.

These images are taken from Colour Moves: Art and Fashion by Sonia Delaunay, published by Thames & Hudson.

Patterns in Tuscany

I've just got back from a week in Tuscany (hence the lack of posts). We ate, sat in the sun and explored some places. The churches in Siena and Pisa contained some amazing marble patterns.

Geometrics

The result of my adventures into patterns have been some geometric patterns which I have converted to cards and gift wrap to sell on my Etsy. Need some slight tweaking but I like them. Going to try making some large scale prints over the next few weeks.

Patterned

Been going a bit pattern crazy over the last few days. Rekindling my love for repetition and order.
