Halloween....already?

I know it seems way early to be working on Halloween.....but it really is not....for designing.

I love working on my surface pattern designing skills.

Above is "Autumn fields".

I love scarecrows and fall....I love the orange pumpkins.  To me the pumpkin is the big symbol of Halloween and fall...just love that time of year.

I wanted this collection....which I would love to make into fabric...to make you think of Halloweens in your childhood.

Those warm rays from the autumn sky....but a chill in the air.

I want you to imagine a field of wheat....with scarecrows guarding it.

This is how the collection looks together...in this color combo.

My scarecrow heads....

Pumpkins in the field

wheat ....so yellow and ready for harvest.

More pumpkins

and more wheat

Here is the same collection....different colors.

I like the black alot 

sweet colors

I always wanted a white pumpkin....but I always buy orange ones.

Good contrast colors

Here is an idea of how they might look on products.

I would like them in a quilt however.

I still have to work on it....but I thought you might like to see these.

Come to the pin me linky party  Come to the party bunch!!  Come to What to do weekends!

Learning something new!

Boy ...is it hard to learn something new....but it is sooo worth it.

Right now I am learning adobe illustrator.....it is all pretty new to me...complicated ...and yet I am very thankful I know a lot about computers.

I made the pattern above....just to practice.

This is called a repeating pattern....designs used for fabric design and all kinds of other surfaces.

This is a poor shot...just a screen shot I blew up.

I just wanted to show you what I am working on.

The colors are better than this.

When you are working on designs....it is like working on a work table...stuff everywhere.

I learned a lot from Bonnie Christines classes on Creativelive plus in the roost tribe membership she has videos.

I checked to see if my design would fit in any shape...it does!

This is a watercolor painting I did...I took the colors from it to make a color palette for my skull balloon design. 

There is so much that goes into this....very complex.

Having a blast though!!!

Changing colors is the easiest thing...so fun too.

Love the different color combos

Purples...love that color!

So much fun!
