Fancy/Funky Friday: Patterns Ginevra & Piper

Happy Friday! Here are today's patterns -

First, the "fancy": Pattern Ginevra




Why it's "fancy": Simple elegance of line, curved forms, and plenty of negative white space between the sections of denser line to let the pattern breathe.

Why it's great: The shapes the lines form remind me of leaves or unopened flower buds!


And now, the "funky": Pattern Piper




Why it's "funky": Thick lines, and pattern "units" that rotate ninety degrees, giving each stripe of pattern a seemingly uneven zig-zag shape.

Why it's great: This pattern has a great "painted Moroccan/Spanish tile" feel to it!

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!
