Painterly Plaid
This mark making pattern by Chris Olson began with ink and paint splatters--plus popsicle hue color swatches to create a spring and summer textile for kids. Her contemporary pattern features a whimsical and feminine take on plaid.
When Chris begins the design process she experiments with ink and paint. Each time she makes an experimental painting for the pattern she adjusts the thickness and opacity of the ink and or paint.
