Flora Design Gallery
Inspired by flowers, leaves, many from my yard
D's Fern Leaf V
My sister's photos of backyard nature inspire my design work. I explored the natural order and curve of the leaves.
D's Fern Leaf Brown
The background beneath the fern leaf is recoloured with a polka dot pattern, adding depth and dimension.
D's Fern Leaf Grey
The background beneath the fern leaf is recoloured with a polka dot pattern, adding depth and dimension.
D's Fern Leaf Purple
Adding one colour, this time purple, enables us to see different shapes highlighted. Can you see the aliens?
Shasta Daisy V Shape
The flora around me is fair game. I especially love shasta daisies with their long, bright white petals and yellow bits.
Shasta Daisy VBW
The outline of the daisy, a black and white cutout, accentuates the curve of the petals and the middle.
Shasta Daisy V Patchwork
Exploring the use of patchwork pattern making. There's a mix of purple and multilcoloured squares in this design.
Shasta Daisy Patterned
An experiment in creating a repeat with shasta daisies in the forefront, and other patterns in the background.
Shasta Daisies Abstract V
A simple portrait of daisies reworked into a repeat - the leaves highlighted - offers these shapes and shades.
Shasta Daisies Abstract
Another pattern in the same vein. This version is in shades of green. As a vector, this repeat can be scaled larger.
D's Rose Stained Glass
My sister's stained glass work is a source of inspiration. This rose called out to me to come and play. And so I did!
D's Rose
Deep red for the petals, bright green for the stem & leaves. Without the lead, the flower's shapes become blocks.
D's Rose x 4
The simplicity and elegance of these roses are set neatly against a black background in this repeat pattern.
D's Rose 4 Flowers
The original rose shape has become petals to create new flowers in this design, seen in red and pink.
Purple Flower Red Petal
Experiment with a crop of a red petals. Repeating, moving it into 90-degree directions. Addition of other patterns.
Tulip Dainty
This is a reworked photo of the bottom of a tulip petal. Dainty, full of texture and lines, and dramatic curves.
Tulip Dainty Vertical Stripe Grey
The dramatic curves of the dainty tulip produce a compelling design in this repeat.
Tulip Dainty Vertical Stripe Red
Once again, the same pattern rendered in red. Reminds me of candy, cany canes, with its thin pinstripes swirling.
