Creating My Yellow, Coral, and Gray Floral Designs
My Yellow, Gray, & Floral designs started as an exercise in Module 2 from Make it in Design. The brief was to create elegant coordinated patterns for a stationery collection.
I decided to use this stylized flower I had sketched in my art journal as the basis for the designs.
For the color palette, I started with one of my favorite color combinations: yellow and gray, and then added the coral. I hand-drew the flowers, scanned them, and traced them in Adobe Illustrator. I use the rectangle tool to create the diamond shapes.
I added color to the floral motifs and used them and the diamonds in different combinations on each piece of the collection.
For my Redbubble shop, I changed the name of the collection to Yellow, Coral, and Gray Floral Designs. I tweaked the design from the letterhead to fit the products better. I will be adding the rest of the stationery designs to the shop in the future.
The design is available on wall art, phone cases, home decor, stickers, and magnets.

When Invasive Species are Beautiful
An invasive species is any living thing that did not evolve in it’s current location. Invasive plants can cause harm to the environment by crowding out native species. They can also be beautiful. The shapes and colors of the flowers catch my eye. Enjoy the photos that I have taken of some invasive plants, but do not plant them in your garden.
Star of Bethlehem, Ornithogalum umbellatum 
Snowflake Viburnum, Viburnum plicatum 
Dames Rocket, Hesperis matronalis 
Jetbead, Rhodotypos scandens
