Look it! They’re feathers.

I’ve been really into designing patterns lately. There’s something about finding the point at which an image repeats over and over again that really satisfies something in my OCD nature. I’m starting to gather a little collection of patterns I’ve designed and my goal is to start posting them here somewhat consistently. And when I say its my “goal”, what I really mean is that it’s a “non-goal goal” because I really don’t want to commit to any sort of regular feature post… but if I were… this would be it.
Also, I hope you don’t take my lack of posts as a sign of intentional neglect—rest assured, I’ve wanted nothing more than to sit down and post a slew of pictures that I think are cool and you probably think are boring. There’s been two things holding me back though:
1. A few weeks ago my camera’s card decided to freak out and I lost a ton-o-pictures. A ton-o. I was sad. You’re probably sad too—but don’t fret. We’ll get through this together. Plus, I got a shiny new card…
2. I’ve been portfolio-ing like no one’s business! If you have ever been anywhere near a designer working on his or her portfolio then you know how crazy this time can be. Hours and hours are spent agonizing over which work to show and how to lay everything out… it’s a lot of craziness. But! I’m planning on sending everything to print this week so I’ll have nothing but time to post ridiculous pictures again!!!
Huh? What’s that? Oh… it’s my portfolio calling. Back to it!


Oh, KB. You caught me…while you’ve been agonizing over which work to feature, I have been agonizing over what’s in your mind, how you’ve been and – of course – just DYING to see some of your fun patterns…I’d buy your feathers on a shirt, anyday. Thanks for the fix, albeit brief. I’ve missed you!
Hm…seeing this [ again ] sparked an idea.
IDEAAAAAAAAS.
I’m coming up with SOMEthing for this pattern.
Whether you like it or not. And you’re going to create more.
MORE!
[ SO MUCH LOVE ]
Whatever your idea is—I’m in. Collaboration!
Hi Kelly !
I love your patterns and especially this one =)
I’m actually making a 5 songs cd (a demo) and I’m gonna have to do the jacket for it. Do you think you could make a pattern for me ? Love your whole work, anyway !
See you’
