These patterns are part of a fabric collection based on Fraktur art; Pennsylvania German, late 1700 - mid 1800.

Created in conjunction with the Schwenkfelder Library and Heritage Center in Pennsburg, PA and P&B Textiles.

For quilting. Photoshop.

Did you make these seamless, or do you have a link to the actually seamless patterns used? Very beautiful by the way. Been wanting to try paisleys myself, and these forms sort of reminds be of them for some reason (the leaf vines that is).

Hi Lyle, thanks!

I'm not sure what you are referring to about "seamless." These were created in Photoshop.

I painted these patterns by hand (Wacom), each color on a separate Spot Channel according to print rotation. The repeat patterns were developed in Layers to industry standard dimensions, using Numeric Transform.

I've done a lot of paisley work and their rhythms naturally fall into the vines, too.
I think the lyricism of flowing patterns is somewhat universal... the spiral.

Yes incredible. Difference between and artist like yourself and a simulator like me. Again, I'll re-iterate that you can not beat a true artist by any stretch of the imagination. I just don't have that much patience for detail, so I depend on my PC for that. lol

Thanks Kathy and Lyle... you are both too kind!

This is work; decorative art. The detail and patience is only out of necessity for the project.
And thirty years does train a hand.

My personal paintings have very little detail; by then my patience is gone.
