My experience on Pattern Camp this weekend taught me that I'm apt to overthink things... Too much research, too much second guessing, too much control, too much time spent deciding. I abandoned all these bad habits whilst on the course - the fast paced learning environment made me do it and I'm so glad I did. I discovered that working this way made me more creative and take more risks. I was less precious about things and more inventive.
This week I'm creating a calendar. It needs to be pretty neutral in terms of colour and motifs so I've decided to play with geometric shapes. 12 shapes and 12 colours, combining the shapes and colours to create 12 patterns.

There are so many combinations and so in order not to overthink it I will be working against the clock - 25 mins per pattern.
Fancy having a go at this? I'd love to see the results!
More on Wednesday,
