Hello there! Welcome to stop #38 of this amazing blog hop… Nice to see that you have made it this far! You probably have arrived here through Eli Risty’s blog, Risty Design. She’s a surface pattern designer living in Donosti (Basque Country).
If you just found the blog hop at this point and want to see all the entries, then you can head to Gill Eggleston’s blog, Pattern Addict, where the blog hop starts.
50+ designers are celebrating the start of a new year by creating this colossal surface pattern design blog hop. Each of us created a mini collection of prints based on a ‘Let’s Fly’ theme and using Pantone’s colour of the year, Emerald, so we have more than 150 gorgeous designs for you to feast your eyes on! The blog hop has been organised and curated by the lovely Rosie Martinez-Dekker from Believe Creative Studio. Thanks Rosie!
For my designs, I decided to use a little creature that gets little attention and appreciation… So, may I introduce my little friends, the flies!

Hi, Love the flies! I too am a graphic designer with a passion for pattern! I like to make them in my spare time. I find it very therapeutic!
Wow, absolutely fantastic patterns! It’s cool to be using flies and still being able to make such pretty patterns out of them. Loving your colours too, you are really gifted :)
Ah! This design is absolutely fantastic even though eek! they are flies. You are brave to pic such a topic, it did cross my brain but then I thought, uy no! You are a fantastic designer to make this work!!! Awesome :-)
Beautiful Vero, I can feel them flying around me!
Como siempre muy lindo trabajo!

I had though of flies but did’nt have the courage! THEY ARE FAB. Congratulations on the original solution to the theme. Dawn x
Did I say how much I love these flies? I always have a problem with them, but you managed to make me see them in a whole new gorgeous way!!!
totally original! Love the flies… fun and very clever
What a great idea for a pattern! and like Leska mentioned, it kind of reminds me of synchronized swimmers a bit. FUN and creatives ideas, Vero!!
Veronica… me mataste con tus moscas!!! Que chistosa eres! Están divinas! Las ultimas hasta parecen bailando ballet, hahahhaha. Lograste transformar un insecto tan desagradable en algo lindo, llamativo y divertido. Super!!!
I loved the literal and clever take on the subject. I am still laughing. The patterns are great and funny. The colours are obviously great too, because, as someone else from the Indigo group said, you’re a colour queen. And I found the sketches very interesting too. Congrats, dear.
Veronica- flies! Perfect. What an interesting color combo that worked so well for you. Very creative. Best of luck to you! Julie
love it! who would have thought flies could be pretty! very good idea … bravo
You’ve turned something I hate into something I love! I would love a shirt dress in your top design :)
Your collection had me smiling from first glance! Very creative and clever! Good luck in 2013!
How cool is that, reminds me of synchronized swimmers. Very creative and beautiful!
Such a fun collection. Love it!
I would never thought of designing with a fly! Great idea and it’s nice to see a little of the process! Nice to meet you Veronica! -Dariela
congrats on giving the fly a good show! that’s talent :)
LOVE your flies!!! Brilliant!!! The patterns you’ve created with them are fab!! I started out with bees but somehow ended up with aviation!
Oh, the flies are wonderful! My favorite is the one on top! And the fly-flowers too…
really cool use of colour against grey – I love it! Lots of success for you in 2013 I hope!
gosh those colours become almost neon in that combination. very striking.
Turning flys into flowers. Now that is inspiring, i love them. X
