Patterns for paper

Recently I've been so focussed on creating screen-print friendly patterns that I've totally ignored designing for other media. I suppose thats because I haven't had much motivation to do so - I'm yet to find an inexpensive means of colour printing onto paper (creating stationery, gift wrap etc would be so much fun) which doesn't involve large production runs.

That was until I got an email from the lovely people over at Moo. They liked the patterned notecards that I created, and want to hold some of my designs in a library of images which people can use for their own minicards or notecards. And I get a portion of the revenue. Mutual appreciation = yay, indeed!

Anyway, I've always liked the style of patterns that Cavallini & Co. create, always drooling over their stuff in the window of Zetta Florence on Brunswick St. So I thought I'd give this style a go with the help of a clipart library. I found it too easy though - it felt like cheating:




(this one updated with better colours).

I reckon they'd look cute as Moo notecards, though.
