Aren't long holiday weekends the best? Celebrate Thanksgiving with today's pattern post!
First, the "fancy": Pattern Catherine
Why it's "fancy": Calligraphic lines (lines that vary in thickness), loops, and a diamond-like repetition.
Why it's great: The lowercase d's are a little obvious - made all the more so because they often don't quite connect with each other. I love the thin bits of negative space that rest between the serif of one d and the "counter" (circular part) of the next.
And now, the "funky": Pattern Flora
Why it's "funky": The individual pattern "units" are thick, bold, and graphic - and leave lots of negative white space in between!
Why it's great: The flower-like shapes are made of extremely large commas, and the shapes that look like wings are made of lowercase c's.

Shameless plug time: Love my patterns? I incorporate them into a lot of the artwork I create, from stationery for Invites by Andrea to the watercolors I paint.
