This week's Spoonflower design challenge was to create non-directional wallpaper - a wallpaper design without a clear up or down. In other words one that can be installed in any direction and still make sense - vertical, horizontal, diagonal, ceiling wallpaper... you get the idea!

I started with a color palette my husband described as "Caribbean Blues". After creating a painting on my iPad, I began to adapt it into a multi-directional design. I'm always amazed at how different the final surface pattern design looks compared to the original motif. In this case I find it marries quite a few elements and styles - It's a tiled pattern, featuring an abstract sun on the horizon and mountain landscape in a painted style which would not be complete with out a few paint splatters of a golden essence. This tiled surface pattern design would look great on pillows, don't you think?
Sized down it would make a very cool necktie or headband.

This tiled surface pattern design has been added tomy redbubble shop where you can browse the design on home decor, apparel, accessories, notebooks, and more. Have a peek!

This week's Spoonflower design challenge was to find inspiration in the buttercup flower family. Apparently this includes the cheery little yellow flowers we think of initially as well as clematis, columbine, and any flower in the ranunculaceae flower family!

I went with a painted style trio of cheery butter cup flowers on a toned down yellow background. The repeat is a diamond repeat reminiscent of argyle and would look cute on throw pillows, duvets, and window treatments. IRL you'll be able to appreciate the detailed brush strokes and linen texture of this floral surface pattern design.  Feel free to Reach out if you need a resize!

​This week's Spoonflower Design Challenge is a collaboration with the beautiful pottery company East Fork. Their latest pottery glazes are a pastel pink (Piglet) and a soft yellow (Butter).

The colors felt so springy that I decided to go with a small illustrated floral design.
