Weekly Pattern Wednesday


I'm taking part in week #2 of Lynn Krawcyzk's Weekly Pattern Wednesday. Just post a pattern on your blog and leave a comment on Lynn's blog for a pattern-filled blog hop!

I was hoping to create a brand new pattern this week but between a weekend getaway with my hubby (Frederick, MD) and trying to get caught up on stuff (still doing that!)...I opted for a detail of one of the scarves I created in Issue #25 of my free online newsletter, Julie B Booth Surface Design News

In this project, I created a series of Valentine's Day-themed silk scarves using adhesive craft foam (fun foam) shapes and hot glue on cardboard blocks. I like the contrast between the black glue lines with the colorful foam prints. You can read about how to do this project here. Feel free to sign up for the newsletter...the sign up is in the right hand column. A new issue will be out very soon.

On my list of summer projects (catch-up stuff), I have a number of scarves I plan to create to thank some of my fellow surface design folks who helped me with my book blog tour in February....so you may be seeing more patterns using glue and foam!

  1. Great work and techniques you have on your blog. I just realized that I get your newsletter but not a mail when you have a new blog post.
    Looking forward to following your patterns whether they are new or used!

    1. Hi Helen- Hot glue on cardboard blocks are one of my favorites to design and use. I love the organic lines you can get with them.
