Fancy/Funky Friday: Patterns Eileen & Martina

TGIF! Scroll down to see today's fancy and funky patterns!

First, the "fancy": Pattern Eileen



Why it's "fancy": Thin, arched lines that intersect to create elegant loops

Why it's great: Though the line thickness is more or less consistent, the amount of white negative space between the lines varies, giving the pattern dimension and visual interest.


And now, the "funky": Pattern Martina



 Why it's "funky": Lines that vary greatly in thickness and direction, creating a "spiked X" shape as well as a 1970s-inspired radial flower design

Why it's great: The unusual combination of elements is unique and unexpected, begging for you to take a second, closer look!

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!
