Beginnings in surface pattern design

Because it's the first collection of surface patterns I've created, I thought it would be fun to document this, as well asthe process. It is exciting (and sometimes sobering) to be able to look back at some point, and see where you've started and how much you've grown. This marks the beginnings of my babyhood in surface pattern design.

...Walking through sun flower fields; riding your bike down the village's main street; stopping to pick wildflowers and berries, while hot air balloons fly above in the sky and birds welcome the new day with their chirping. - That's what the story is about :)
The first color way is reminiscent of bright, fresh colors in the cool, crisp air of the morning, a little soft and misty. The second is reminiscent of the sunset hours.

So here is my first collection. ...Celebrating beginnings doesn't matter how small or imperfect. They are always a step forward in the journey.
