Well, ok, so a moose isn’t green … nor does it have yellow ears … but here is my very first repeating pattern! Woohoo! And yes, I don’t think it is going to win any design awards nor are you going to be seeking it out as your next fabric design … but I had to start SOMEWHERE.

Adobe Illustrator and I have had a few long conversations this weekend. Frustratingly, most of the conversations have been one-sided … I try to create a pattern and Illustrator just blinks and does what it wants. Ugh. Finally, though I think I have figured out the basics. So … got moose!

My creative brain is already mulling over the possibilities … hand-drawn, image-traced, live painted, repeating patterns … oh my.
