Happy Friday! Here are the patterns du jour:
First, the "fancy": Pattern Cassandra
Why it's "fancy": Thin lines that form curves and loops; from a distance, it looks like a collage full of strips of scallop-trimmed lace!
Why it's great: There are several different points of interest throughout the pattern - the negative white spaces with quotation-mark-like forms ascending and descending like stalagmites and stalactites and the diamond shapes formed when some of the criss-crossing lines intersect are my two favorites. :)
And now, the "funky": Pattern Decada
Why it's "funky": Simple, graphic shapes with a whimsical childlike feel.
Why it's great: Every other column of pattern units are staggered so the cloud-like forms fit together like puzzle pieces - and the direction of overlap also alternates with each column, so that some pattern units are overlapped on the bottom, while others are overlapped at the top.

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. Check out Invites by Andrea's website to see examples of these patterns in use or drop me a line at andrea@invitesbyandrea.com to let me know what you think!
