Lemons, Pansies, Leaves, Ladybugs hero hand-drawn illustration by Sheri42

Inspiration

In today’s Catcoq newsletter, she suggested a citrus prompt: lemons. I searched through my color palettes and found one I love: lemon yellow, dark magenta, spring green, dark teal, and red orange. I love purple/magenta, and often use a similar palette for patterns I’ll sell on Red Bubble and Spoonflower– to create clothing and fabrics for myself and family. Because of this, I decided this is a wonderful prompt, and I plan to make it in different styles.

This Week’s Style for Lemons

HERO

Here’s the hero tear sheet with two patterns. Each will also be uploaded to Spoonflower as patterns, with the hero as tea towels.
