A big 
THANK YOU
 to all the artists who have contributed to this post!

As everyone is so busy at the moment, and I don't want to add to the pressure,
 I'm inviting anyone at all to send in a pattern
 that they have previously entered for a competition
but not been a winner.

I'm sure there are plenty of 'also ran's 
that deserve to see the light of day!

If you haven't entered any competitions and you'd still like to have your work 'showcased', this month's themes are 'Stitches' and/or 'Fiesta'.


Low Res images to me by Sunday, June 2, if possible,
but I'll do my best to accommodate any 'stragglers'

Swirls and Leaves

"A bright pattern influenced by foliage and organic materials, a subject matter that influences most of my work.  My patterns tend to be use quite delicate shapes with overlapping layers."

Maira Chiodi

"This pattern is warm, colorful and inspired by nature, just the way I like and try to live my life."

Mel Pope

"I created these designs for my step-son's ( James Pope) bedroom and then painted them directly onto his walls. He was 12 at the time, so the skulls, bones, rock, and graffiti theme went down really well. We had all visited New York together the previous year when his father was alive, so he loved the skyline - so not to scale, by the way."

Natacha Devaud

"The Pushkar Bloom patterns express my interest in cultural diversity and my love of travels: the designs are inspired by mayan and middle eastern motifs, while the color palette comes from a recent trip to India. "

Winter Berries

“I love creating simple hand drawn motifs and turning them into patterns. Like these winter berry silhouettes layered over a chevron background.”

Morning Glory

"I have always been inspired by nature and the organic shapes that can be found within the environment. This pattern in particular was inspired by the pretty little flowers 'Morning Glory'."

Spring Burst

"A colourful pattern inspired by the beautiful start of spring and burst of fresh flowers."

Irises

"From a photo of irises in my garden."
