It’s time celebrate Mother Earth’s gift of Spring: life’s eternal pattern of change and regeneration.

 

In the spirit of change, I’ve been inspired to create a colourful design series, using three features: pattern, the alphabet, and quotations.

I’ve chosen 26 patterns, starting with argyle ending with zigzag. The origins of these patterns are fascinating and I'm happy to share their story with you in my upcoming blog  series.

With each new design, a single letter is the visual focus. I've been inspired by artists who have used the alphabet in unique, creative ways. Illustrator Edward Gorey applied his style to a very enjoyable alphabet book called The Gashlycrumb Tinies.

 

Quotations are the third feature of this design project. I'll introduce you to some remarkable women who offer us their words of wisdom--some sincere, some hilarious. When Amelia Earhart in her quote tells us that "There's more to life than just being a passenger", we know she's telling us that we can be brave and we can fly on our own. I'm looking up, Amelia.

I'm looking forward to sharing my new designs with you beginning next Tuesday, May 12th. Until then....


Hasta luego,
Val
