Let's Fly | A Colossal Surface Pattern Design Blog Hop

Hello there! Welcome to stop #38 of this amazing blog hop… Nice to see that you have made it this far! You probably have arrived here through Eli Risty’s blog, Risty Design. She’s a surface pattern designer living in Donosti (Basque Country).

If you just found the blog hop at this point and want to see all the entries, then you can head to Gill Eggleston’s blog, Pattern Addict, where the blog hop starts.

50+ designers are celebrating the start of a new year by creating this colossal surface pattern design blog hop. Each of us created a mini collection of prints based on a ‘Let’s Fly’ theme and using Pantone’s colour of the year, Emerald, so we have more than 150 gorgeous designs for you to feast your eyes on! The blog hop has been organised and curated by the lovely Rosie Martinez-Dekker from Believe Creative Studio. Thanks Rosie!

For my designs I decided to use a little creature that gets little attention and appreciation… So, may I introduce my little friends, the flies!

I hope you enjoyed my designs! You can now visit the next designer, Jacqueline van Roosmalen in the Netherlands, at her blog Colourbook Studio, where you will find some lovely little creatures waiting for you…

Thanks a lot for visiting my blog and enjoy the rest of your blog hop journey!

Have you liked the designs shared in the blog hop so far? Are you feeling inspired? Please leave any comments you may have. I would love to hear from you!

    I loved the literal and clever take on the subject. I am still laughing. The patterns are great and funny. The colours are obviously great too, because, as someone else from the Indigo group said, you’re a colour queen. And I found the sketches very interesting too. Congrats, dear.

Hello! My name is Veronica. I'm a designer, originally from Colombia and now living permanently in Cornwall, UK. •• I graduated in Product Design 15 years ago but since then have mostly worked in graphics for print and web. Last year I decided to specialise in Surface Pattern Design and I'm absolutely loving it! •• Pitter Pattern is a collection of what I consider to be some of the best bits from the amazing world of Surface Design and a record of my learning process to become part of it. It's a journey, a reminder and a source of inspiration. •• Thank you for stopping by!
