PLAYING WITH PAINT + PATTERN.

Jul 15, 2015Uncategorized

As I mentioned on Instagram yesterday, I’ve been playing with acrylic paint to make patterns for a new project I’m working on (with my friend Jen!). As a designer that has never considered myself an artist this project is a little out of my comfort zone. So naturally I took to Pinterest for inspiration and thought I would share some of my favorite finds.

It’s all so pretty that I could die of intimidation! ha! But it feels good to be challenged and I’m excited for the process.

How about you? Tried to (or want to) do something out of your comfort zone lately?

XO, Rae

    I too am trying to draw. I sew can stencil well, re do furniture, come up with patterns on my own, build lots of things, but I can’t draw to save my soul.

      Gail, your my soul sista! Ha! I have never been able to draw. I think that’s why I’m so drawn to all the abstract paintings above…. but they area harder than they look. Or maybe I’m harder on my own work. Always easier to like what someone else makes! Here’s to trying new things! XO Rae
