Well I did it. Leave it to me.

I am taking part in the Make It In Design Summer School. 

I signed up for all three classes, thinking they would run one after the other. Nope.

So for the next six weeks, I will be busy creating 3 designs a week, repeating patterns. I am not alone in taking all three at once. That is a relief. Beginner, Intermediate, Advanced. There are over 5000 total signed up worldwide, how fun is that!

Classes started on Monday, and I already have my first design, almost done. Done if I don’t add any texture. (But of course I want texture.)

And if that was not enough, I have 2 more classes during the month of August, and in September I will be taking part in Leslie Saeta’s 30 Paintings In 30 Days. Yikes! I plan on painting small, and will try to keep my pattern designs on the simple side. On of my goals for these classes, is to build up my portfolio.

I am not going to show you my design just yet. But I will say that it is based on a Native American rug motif. There is still a chance I will do a 180 with it.

The possibilities are positively prolific!
