Fancy/Funky Friday: Patterns Corella & Scarlett

Happy Friday! Here are today's patterns (both shown in a bright, cheerful red color!) -

First, the "fancy": Pattern Corella





Why it's "fancy": In between the prominent white shapes is an elegant sea of curlicues and loop-di-loops, all drawn in thin lines.

Why it's great: The negative space really comes forward because the hexagon-like shapes are so large in comparison to all the other details.


And now, the "funky": Pattern Scarlett




Why it's "funky": From a distance, it has some lace-like qualities, but up close, there are just too many fun allusions to make this pattern anything but uniquely fun!

Why it's great: I don't know about you, but when I look at this pattern, I see cartoonish dog bones, spooky ghost eyes, and simplified Greek columns... ;)

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!
