Gazania experiment



Still a little in love with "live trace" in Illustrator I have scanned in some sketches that I did of some Gazanias and tried creating some patterns with them. I have experimented with layering the images and have used different scales. The designs are more placement prints than repeat patterns, although it would be very easy to turn them into a repeat at a later date. The designs can also be seen on FLICKR.

I have noticed that I have some lovely new members. Thanks girls, most appreciated, I will be over to your blogs quite soon :)

    Pretty patterns Dawn. I'm working on some designs on the same flower too. I first saw it last week while with my mom in Madrid, and I really loved it!

    ps. The book is A Field Guide to Fabric Design by Kim Kight (from Trueup). It's a great book. I read it in less than a day! http://www.bookdepository.com/Field-Guide-Fabric-Design-Kim-Kight/9781607053552
