patterns as sentences
inspiration for your next creative project
I love to make different patterns in the patchwork that I create. I dream of patterns, and sometimes I write them down. Below is a list of some of my favorites. Let them inspire your creative work, whatever that is.
A blue dot overlaying a background of wavy black and white bricks.
Two squares, one green and one yellow, exactly the right distance apart.
Circles, caught in the act of merging together.
The arch of a rainbow and inside are polka dots.
Straight, rectangular blocks that alternate, and each block is a slightly different color of orange.
The dilapidated siding on a bright blue house.
Abstract arrows, pointing in the same direction.
Waves that are made from small, curved lines that stack on top of each other.
Two lines, outlining the same, simple shape.
A circle within a circle, stacked on top of one another like the seeds of a strawberry.
Long and skinny ovals, behind one another, like you are looking at a mountain range.
The glowing halo around a crescent moon, repeated on a grid.
The ripples of dry sand from above.
Three chunky squares of different colors, smashed on top of one another.
The shadow of a tall building, in bright pink.
Triangles lined up and then dragged outward in a curve, creating dark shadows.
The crackling of a desert floor, but in shades of green.
The wrinkles on the face of someone who has smiled for a lifetime.
A series of flat circles, seen from the side and curling upon one another.
Water, pooling on the edge of a plant and getting ready to fall.
I am thinking of making a zine with just patterns as sentences. Let me know if you would enjoy that. :) You can find digital copies of my zines here.
Great ideas to work into my quilt projects.
