It started off here...a drawing with "permission markers"

 The Graphic Design ones.  I have always been a lover of pattern.  All of my doodles revolve around pattern.   How they evolve and repeat it has always been my forte per say::)

Sooooo late last week, I got an itch to bring out the sharpies and start  some pattern drawing.  If I am going to do this textile thing, I need to learn to match the patterns in illustrator.  So let the practicing/obsessing begin! 

I am kind of liking them.  The stripe will be a large scale stripe...like 18-20".  Does anyone else feel like the "right" striped fabric is always elusive, whether it is the colors or the scale, I am never quite happy when it comes to stripes.  I think I am going to design my own from NOW on!

Starting to feel like this textile design stuff is kind of fun.

Happy Monday!
