Fancy/Funky Friday: Patterns Larissa & Lucy

Today's two patterns are similar in color - but not much else!

First, the "fancy": Pattern Larissa



Why it's "fancy": Thin lines, curves, and elegant x-shapes give it an overall lace-like quality.

Why it's great: The shapes formed by the arcs remind me of dividing cells or figure eights.


And now, the "funky": Pattern Lucy


Why it's "funky": Thick swatches of color and lava-lamp-inspired shapes give it a funky mod 1960s feel!

Why it's great: I love how the "stripes" of pattern are just a little off-kilter, adding an unexpected tilt to the design.

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!
