I’m having a love affair with pattern – how about you?
Bold, geometric, delicate, floral – I want them all! As you can see from my patterned picks, as a customer, I find myself more likely to be drawn to products with unique patterns – patterns created by the maker or using global textiles rather than products made from commercially available patterned textiles and papers.
How about you? Do you play with pattern in your products? What kinds of patterns are you drawn to? I’d love to hear about it in the comment section below… but first…
It’s time for our next Pin Party! Every month we’re going to throw a little social media party around a colour or a product or a theme and showcase them all on a special Pinterest board.
This month, come play with pattern with us – pin images of your patterned products or DIY projects, snap pictures of patterns in your home or in nature. Share your pictures on your blog, twitter, instagram… or wherever you’re hanging out online these days… and don’t forget to let us know about it via the comment section or social media! We’ll pin them to our Oh My! Playful Patterns board. With the recent changes to Pinterest, we can no longer click & search hashtags easily over there – but we sure can on Twitter and Instagram! This month’s tag is #OhMyPatternPlay. Hope you’ll play along!
You can follow me on Pinterest here and Jessika here.
oohhh great pics! Great idea for a pin party, i will keep an eye out for next months as i am in the middle of moving my blog over to self hosted wordpress (bit of a nightmare!) Happy Partying!!
Thanks Naomi – looking forward to your participation next month. Good luck with the big blog move!
Thank you!
How fun! I love all the gorgeous choices above, especially the…well, no never-mind I can’t choose. 😛 I am going to join in this pin party. I’ve been making patterns lately (so fun) and have a fabric shop on Spoonflower. http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/joyfulroots
Thanks Kimberly! Glad you like them too… I’m off to peruse your Spoonflower shop & do a little pinning!
Thanks so much for pinning some of my patterns! =D
I am ADDICTED to geometrics and huge flowers. I love the colors you picked out…the aqua is rockin’!
Thanks Sarah! I’m definitely in a triangle mood these days… and pretty much always in an aqua mood! 😉
I was just toying with the idea if using pattern in my next print 🙂 I’m not very confident/good with it. So thank you for this, the pinterest board will be excellent inspiration!
Thanks Charlotte! You never know – you might surprise yourself!
Love the patterns!!!
Thanks Andi – me too!
OMHG Yes! We are patterned obsessed!
Especially when it’s color on color, it’s just too much!
Just check out our http://pinterest.com/effiespaperstationery & http://insideeffiespaper.tumblr.com to see the plethora of patterns we’ve been collecting~!
Thanks! I’ll take a peek and get pinning!
Love, love, love……
Hurray! Hope you’ll come play too! Perhaps you have patterns in your studio you can share with us via instagram? Or your blog? 😉
I’ve been obsessed with pattern for years–especially colorful conversationals–to the point where I had to make it an integral part of my business. I’ve just tweeted my contribution. Thank you for shining a light on pattern design!
Thanks Dana! Saw your cute foxes on twitter!
You’ve found many great ones! I had a lot of fun playing with single line art drawings to create new patterns :: http://pinterest.com/pin/52213676902416630
Those are so neat Megan! I’ve pinned them to our board – thanks for sharing!
Obsessed with pattern. I have a pinterest pattern board too. http://pinterest.com/mychildish/pattern-design/
