Autumnal Inspiration

This week I have been putting together a collection of designs which are all inspired by the autumnal leaves and seed pods I have noticed while riding out around the country lanes and woods in my Parish.

I was a little indecisive as to what colourway to use as I wanted to keep my designs fresh and contemporary so I have used two different colourways. I have really enjoyed putting this little collection together and can see these designs being applied to a range of different products and surfaces 

Anyway here they are and please let me know what you think of them.

Tiger Print Black & White Competition

I have been away from my blog over the last few days as my laptop needed to be repaired. In this time I received some exciting news that one of my designs got short listed to be one of the top 25 designs in the Tiger Print Black & White Competition. I am extremely proud to have been selected as there were so many entries and I feel like a winner in my own right for this. Congratulations to the winner and other runners up it was a tough competition and a lot of talented designers entered.

I gained the inspiration for this design when I was in Bolivia and Peru. There were so many textile pieces about with tribal patterns that when I returned and saw that tribal would be a big trend I had the perfect material to use for my design. I created it using a paintbrush upside down and ink. I created the patterns after looking at varied shapes and patterns which a common in tribal prints and combined them together.

Friday Florals

Hello. This week. I have been drawing lots and I have entered the Hallmark Halloween competition! I will upload the design I entered for this soon, once they have been judged and are on their gallery page. I have also started to create a few more floral designs for my portfolio, some are still working progress so please feel free to give me your feedback on them. 

I hope you  have a lovely weekend.

Chloe.

Lets be honest the weather this year has been pretty abysmal but on a positive note it has been the source of inspiration for my new set of designs! Lets hope this autumn and winter are not as wet as summer was!
