Fancy/Funky Friday: Patterns Giselle & Harper

TGIF! Celebrate the weekend with these two pattern designs:

First, the "fancy": Pattern Giselle




Why it's "fancy": Loopy, calligraphic, and ostentatious, these lines are the epitome of "fancy."

Why it's great: I love the heart-like shapes formed where the "stripes" of the pattern meet.


And now, the "funky": Pattern Harper




Why it's "funky": Bold, evenly spaced lines in concentric "circles" give this pattern a mod 1960s feeling.

Why it's great: Every other pattern "unit" is flipped - but you can tell only by the way the inner rainbow-like arcs interact with the middle horizontal stripes.

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!
