Fancy/Funky Friday: Patterns Madeline & Xaria

Happy April! Here are today's patterns:

First, the "fancy": Pattern Madeline




Why it's "fancy": From a distance, the stripes of arcs give off the illusion of lace

Why it's great: I love the playful serifs and oversized circles at the ends of each "C" letterform - it gives it a funky vibe in the middle of the elegant lace-like structure.


And now, the "funky": Pattern Xaria




Why it's "funky": Pinched oval shapes and right-angle zig-zags make this a lively, geometric print.

Why it's great: Mod patterns that stress geometric shapes are a fun trend for spring!

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!
