"My butterflies and flowers"pattern

Today, I have the pleasure to write you about one of my favourite patterns. Around March, I had the good luck of finding the fashion website: www.frontrowsociety.com

A lovely on-line fashion brand that has a monthly design contests based on  some  cool themes.

I submitted my pattern to the tropical jungle contest held last March, and I designed my pattern based on their brief. I was excited as it was the first time I entered on this newly discovered website. 
I must say I got a little disappointed as my design was not among the winners, but I understood when I saw the other gorgeous works. I had to summit my design on the product templates they gave us.

I thought a green background would be the best one as I chose the jungle theme. However, this time, I decided to be innovative and make different colour versions as I love doing that, so I re-designed it, using a yellow and brown background. 

Sometimes it is good to enter into design contests, as this forces you to use a different colour palette, it switches on your imagination helping you create new patterns and to base them on a theme which are far from your usual field of work!

This was my enter.

These were the templates I submmited

Thanks to having entered into this website, I created a nice design which it has been licensed for several home products by http://kessinhouse.com/pages/julia-grifol, which in this case has chosen the brown and the yellow vertion.
  

 

Happily, my brown vertion is also being licensed as Iphone cases by http://www.artscase.com/Apple-iPhone-5/ArtsCase-Apple-iPhone-5-My-Butterflies-and-Flowers-AC1234253-Julia-Grifol.html

 

I also sell this design as fabric, decall and wallpaper, http://www.spoonflower.com/designs/1949926

 So as the old saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining


 I will publish a post every Friday, I will be pleased with your visit!
  Have a    great weekend!
