Recently I shared some of my first explorations with doodling and turning those doodles in to pattern. I did all of that in illustrator.
This week, I played with Photoshop and turned one of my original paintings into a pretty repeating pattern. Here is the painting I started with which I took a photo of:
And then with a little Photoshop magic, I turned this lovely pink flower into a sea of pretty pink flowers and into a cool repeating pattern. It was fun being “crafty” on the computer. I have been struggling with finding time to craft with my hands, so this was a fun way to still express my creativity.
I used a specific technique that I recently learned at Pattern Camp with Jessica Swift.
How fun is that!?
Then I uploaded my file to Spoonflower and have just ordered my first roll of personalized printed wrapping paper! What?!
Ok, I can’t wait until it arrives! I will have to share my next crafty explorations with my pretty painted flower paper. Stay tuned!
That is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time. Love the pattern. You did a good job.
Thanks Judi! You are so sweet. My wrapping paper just arrived today in the mail and I can’t wait to use it on something!
Can we order your paper? I just love it!!
You are so sweet Jody. I’m so new to the Spoonflower site, it took me awhile to figure out the answer. The answer is yes! I just turned my pattern from private to open. You can find it here: http://www.spoonflower.com/designs/5673940-pink-flower-pattern-painting
Happy Crafting!
