Original sketch for pattern.
After you create hundreds of patterns it's hard to ignore the urge when an idea crosses your mind. Last week I was sitting in my studio working and an idea for a pattern came to mind, so I grabbed my Flair pen and drew out my idea.
I've done enough now that I know right away if it'll work or not and this one felt good.
Thorny Pattern. (Color Option 1)
When I create patterns I prefer more organic motifs rather than geometric ones. I also like to create patterns that can be simplified too. For example this pattern could work just as well using the thorns alone without any background color or secondary thorns.
Thorny Pattern. (Color Option 2)
I used a color palette that fit with a current project I just finished last week on this pattern.
Patterns are the type of repeat project I enjoy, literally.

More fabulous designs Von!
I've been working with your wonderful Drip. Dot. Swirl. patterns this weekend on crafting projects - they're so versatile!
I'll email some pictures shortly.
Thanks, appreciate it.
Love the thorns ... and royal feel. And it may be repetitive, but it isn't obvious. Way cool.
Very nice pattern, Von! The negative spaces are gorgeous. And it's in one of my favorite colors. Thanks for sharing your creative process--I love seeing the sketches behind the final product.
