A collection of textile patterns inspired in architecture, fruits, and calligraphy.

Textile design is a fascinating area where graphic design principles can be combined with fashion design. The first three patterns below were created by combining different hand made drawings or motives inspired by the house of Bauhaus founder, the Architect Walter Gropius in Lincoln, Massachusetts.
Free hand motifs - Pencil, marker, and ink on paper
The motifs were scanned and manipulated using Photoshop to create seamless patterns. Each design bears a specific feel or atmosphere even though they all come from the same source of inspiration.
The following images are from a set of patterns with a more experimental and loose design approach. My inspiration were fruits and calligraphy. I created many motifs by writing with a very loose hand, trying to convey the idea of foreign language text. I also cut and scanned, directly on the scanner, Strawberries, Plums, Apricots, Peppers and Tomatoes.
