I had no photo inspiration for my palette today – just colours chosen on a whim and trying to channel the sometimes garish colours that appear in kimono fabric. Given that the universe seems to be reminding me of Japan this week I thought I’d put my recently purchased Seamless Studio to good use and create my own shapes to create a pattern. It’s taken me a while to wrap my brain around SVG images, much playing around with Illustrator’s Live Trace and I should also say – SO MUCH FUN! My pattern attempts are – on the left – Rising Sun v2 which makes use of Seamless Studio’s built in shapes, and on the right – Kimono – using my very own sakura blossom shapes.
