I recently designed this collection for Makower UK. It's called 'Golden' and is inspired by the work of Gustav Klimt. It includes swirls, textures and organic shapes in a rich colour palette with touches of metallic gold. This style of work is quite different to what I am used to designing but I enjoyed the challenge and think it came out quite well!
The main design is called Symphony and includes all sorts of elements that can be found in a Klimt painting such as circles, swirls, triangles and squares. I added texture to each of the shapes to give it a painterly feel as well as adding texture to the background to give it depth.
These textured triangles are designed in shades of red, orange and brown and make a great colour carrier for fabric projects such as quilting.
I scroll design is always pleasing to design and this one has a textured background with touches of red and orange that can be found in other designs and this makes it a great co-ordinate.
These loose squares create a mini patchwork effect.
This wavy stripe contains a lot of pattern, Some pattern is taken from other designs in the group as well as being mixed with new designs.
The Symphony pattern has been designed in three colours and this is a good mid-range tone.
This textured print is called 'Engraved' has been taken from the main print but created in a tonal colour palette.
The triangle design looks great in tones of green, yellow and brown.
Stripes are always a good addition to a collection and with this stripe I decided to make it wavy with added dots.
This decorative stripe looks great in green.
Decorative scroll in a tasty green colour.
