While I am not focusing my fashion design portfolio on print and pattern making, I do love looking at nature and its color combinations and patterns. On a short walk, you can look up and find amazing clouds. You can look down and see a wonderful texture on the sidewalk. You can get close to a tree and find real treasures in its bark ... The list could go on.
So, take a look below and see how I took photos of elements found in nature and how I altered them to create a print. Every time I see something that catches my eyes, I think of it in terms of fashion ... Could it be a fabric pattern? Could I use the color scheme in one of my designs?

Afternoon sun ...

Tree reflection in rippling water ...

Raging waterfalls ...
