Ciao!
Last summer, my family and I had an amazing trip to Rome and Milan in Italy. We made pasta from scratch, indulged in desserts, sipped cappuccinos, and tried lots of gelato! I can't say the trip didn't have a few hiccups as we were a big group with age ranging from 5 all the way up to 80! But overall, it was a very interesting trip giving me lots of inspiration.
The vibrant tastes, colors, and historic decors from our trip inspired a new pattern collection called 'Buon Appetito'. It's full of fun colors and shapes that might just make you hungry.
Creating this collection took some time because I experimented with a new workflow, combining Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I used Photoshop for the repeats and Illustrator's Recolor Artwork tool for exploring color combinations. My computer crashed a few times due to the large file sizes, making me rebuild some patterns multiple times. 🥲 I finally found a way to offload my Photoshop to avoid more freezes. Lesson learned!
