Today's patterns each use diamond shapes in a unique way...
First, the "fancy": Pattern Frivolla
Why it's "fancy": Whether up-close or at a distance, this pattern is elegant and lace-like with its emphasis on overlapping curves and loops.
Why it's great: The straight lines of the repeated diamond shapes stand out in contrast to the arcs and curves.
And now, the "funky": Pattern Carmen
Why it's "funky": There's a lot going on in this pattern, including floral designs that fill out diamond shapes, thin figure-eights, stretched sine waves, and ovals decorated with eye-like circles at either end.
Why it's great: I love the feathery quality of some of the lines, and the line variance between thin and thick. It gives it a handmade, vintage feel, even though it's a digitally designed pattern.
