Fancy/Funky Friday: Patterns Carrie & Delta

Today's Fancy/Funky patterns are all about being unique in at least one crucial way...

First, the "fancy": Pattern Carrie

Why it's "fancy": This pattern is comprised of loops and wavy lines that look like lace from a distance

Why it's great: Relatively simple, well organized, and uniform in line thickness, pattern Carrie is interesting because of the decorated Easter egg shapes that pop forward in space and demand attention.


And now, the "funky": Pattern Delta

Why it's "funky": The arrangement of the pattern "units" is a simple one - squares with interior X's - but each "unit" is crazy detailed, with an emphasis on straight lines.

Why it's great: From a distance, it starts to take on the appearance of a quilt pattern; up close, it looks like the insides of a computer or other technological device, with memory chips and wires.

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!
