Patterns: “Amanda Lynne”

Written on September 14, 2009 // Design Comments Off

About a month ago I ran across a photograph that stunned me. The colors in particular had mee thinking about this photo for days.

When I couldn’t stand it any longer, I opened up Color Schemer and used the eyedropper tool to snag some of the colors. I tweaked them to get some more hues for use in a pattern set and then over the next few weeks I began working on a new collection.

Initially, within my file system, I was naming the design “Mandy Lynne” after the photographer. It’s easier for me to remember the names of my designs if I relate them to something that inspired them (and besides, isn’t that a beautiful name, just fitting the vintage feel?). Anyway, after contacting Mandy, she suggested Amanda instead to lessen any confusion for someone who might thing SHE had designed the patterns. Good point, Mandy! ;)

So here is the new pattern collection, Amanda Lynne, (and a free download at the end).

PSST! The retail sets will include many more of the same in the full pattern set!
