Swings Asunder

I'm working on my homework backstage while volunteering for Swings Asunder. Go see it if you are in Austin, we have three more shows. I'm drawing inspiration from all the aerialists and masked turtle people in wigs. Here's today's pattern:

In celebration of the recent SCOTUS ruling, I made a rainbow pattern! Hooray for marriage equality!

Henna party

Tonight I invited some girlfriends over to practice henna. It's a wonderfully stringy henna from Rajasthan. It was so easy to draw nice lines, and I added a little cosmetic glitter just for fun. Missed out? I have frozen the rest, and need more practice, so let's get together and I'll draw on you.

It's a little late but I'm still going to file this under #WeeklyPatternWednesday

Diamond Sunset

Lemon Blossom

I made a lemonade inspired print for this week's Spoonflower contest. I named it "Lemon Party" because I'm a horrible person (don't google that. I'm serious.).  It's now entitled "Lemon Blossom," and apologies for my horrible internet humor.

Imagine how bitey and hungry that would be. What a monster!

There's no better way to learn than to get your hands dirty and do it yourself! Making my own wallpaper groups is really helping me understand each group. Today's is p4mg, which has a neat woven quality:

P4 is such a fun wallpaper group because it has this spiraling nature:
