pattern designers: pinterest-ing pins

pat·tern [pat-ern; Brit. pat-n] 
a noun

1. a decorative design, as for wallpaper, china, or textile fabrics, etc.
2. decoration or ornament having such a design.
3. a natural or chance marking, configuration, or design: patterns of frost on the window.
4. a distinctive style, model, or form: a new pattern of army helmet.
5. a combination of qualities, acts, tendencies, etc., forming a consistent or characteristic arrangement: the behavior patterns of teenagers.
6. an original or model considered for or deserving of imitation: Our constitution has been a pattern for those of many new republics.
7. anything fashioned or designed to serve as a model or guide for something to be made: a paper pattern for a dress.

There are 15 definitions in the Webster's Dictionary for the word pattern so I took the top 7.

I love that Patterns can be a both repeating habit or action, and a visual and decorative motif that forms an "arrangement".

Pattern design is one of my great-est loves, the combination of colour and image and repeat contains a magic that I never grow tired of. Looking at the patterns that others have created, the colour palettes that they choose to work with and the imagery they choose to create and repeat is always a huge inspiration for me and my own work.
