Pods revisited :: palette and patterns

Tree pods and colour swatch

I wasn’t very happy with my last attempt at my seeds and pods patterns so I decided to go back to the drawing board. I made a few colour modifications to the pattern template because I felt it would work better with a reduced colour palette. The other change I made was my palette and this time I used this one based on a photo of tree pods I took at the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) Discover Centre. A blogging buddy (yes Miss Robin I’m talking about you) made me promise I would post my changes, so here they are.

Two patterns

My patterns are Seeds take two (top) and Pods again (bottom), you’re welcome to download them and tweak them on ColourLovers. I’m much happier with the Seeds take two as they are a little less busy but I’m still not sure how I feel about the pods. If you have a thought I would love to hear it.

    Those tree pods are so cool! Kind of other-worldly.

    I like your new designs. These feel more like old fabric to me. I remember owning stuff that had designs like this. Because I’m old.

    Thanks for posting them.

      Glad you liked them. I was thinking of you as I was working on them. In some ways I the pods achieved the old style I was after but still not very successful overall. You’re not that old!
