Each of this week's patterns has a main, basic geometric shape that stands out from a distance - either a circle or a tilted square (diamond) - but the pattern details reveal so much more!
First, the "fancy": Pattern Fortia
Why it's "fancy": The lines are thin, elegant, and curved, and overlap each other in delicate intersections.
Why it's great: This pattern reminds me of the designs my old spirograph toy would create!
And now, the "funky": Pattern Nina
Why it's "funky": Starburst shapes and embellished lines give an otherwise preppy argyle-like pattern a sharp, jagged look.
Why it's great: Is it just me, or do the diamond shapes begin to look like jeweled cabochons surrounded by such spikey "prongs"?

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!
