Pattern design: floral

June 23rd, 2008 by Rena

floral pattern
Pattern design = fun! This is my first real attempt at a tiling pattern. I could see this printed on a fabric. I want to learn screen printing, but here in Costa Rica such courses don’t seem to be available, at least not where I live. *sigh*

I miss taking art or crafting courses. But at least yoga classes have started up in my town … and come August a belly dancing teacher will come to give weekly lessons. Sweet! Oh, and finally high speed internet has arrived and I can finally get wireless in my house.

Wow, I’m rambling and jumping all over the place. I think it’s time for bed. Enjoy the flowers.

IF: Communication

communication
Being a graphic designer I had to do a drawing for this weeks Illustration Friday theme that represented design… so here we have an example of bad communication. Personally I would choose to go Dat-a-Way, but that’s just a gut feeling and I’ve been known to be wrong before.

Illustration Friday: 80’s

Portrait of the 80s
Ech, the 80’s…perhaps the worst fashion wardrobe I ever sported was then. But this fashionista knew how to rock (or rather pop) the look!

In other news, I have designed and am building my design portfolio site. I am quite pleased with it and will unveil it soon. This site will continue to be used for my blog and art and hopefully some day soon I will put up pictures of my beaded jewelry works. I have so much sitting in a box ready to sell.
