If you are blog hopping you must have arrived here after enjoying the colorful and bold patterns of the talented designer Carrie Tasman. If not, be sure to check them out here!
For my collection Tropical Preppy,
I was inspired by a madras that I found on the internet and adapted for a post over on my fashion blog SpyGirl called Know Your Plaid.
This was originally used on mens lounge pants for the Michael Morgan line at Fred Meyer -- NOT in this colorway!
If you've just joined our blog hop please go to Groovity Designs where you can start from the beginning. The party continues through 1/21 so you have plenty of time to peruse all the designs.
A big thanks to Mary Tanana at Groovity, who did a fantastic job getting us organized and hopping to it!
Love the plaid!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Onneke!
DeleteNice plaids Anne! great to see on the model!
ReplyDeleteThank you Carrie!
DeleteLovely bright colour palette and the cute cocktails are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you Emma. I used to do lots of novelty prints for the Fred Meyer account and had fun creating them. (Though my favorite, The Devil Wears Tighty Whities, never made it out of the Art Room - haha).
DeleteNow it's much less exciting, with small geos, plaids, stripes, and camo.
Whao! What a beautiful use of color, stunning plaids!
ReplyDelete…and I like your muse's dinner jacket, cool. :-)
Thanks Lisa. Yes, I love color! I've had that madras randomly floating on my computer desktop both at home and at work. I think it seeped into my psyche!
DeleteCool , brave and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bethania. It is so fun being part of the blog hop! Next time I'll insist on being put at the end of the queue so that I don't muck up the flow of hopping like I did this time!
DeleteLove the Vibrant Plaid Mix Anne! Very you!
ReplyDeleteYeah, I would wear either of the plaids. The cocktails, not so much. Thanks!
DeleteThe plaids are a delicious use of color! The tropical drinks are perfect too!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joni! I wish I'd had more time to more new stuff but was slammed at work the past two weeks.
DeleteLove those happy plaids! I think the fashion illustration is so very cool as well! Now where's my radiant pink martini?!? Well done Anne! ~Mary Tanana~
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary! A huge thanks for all your hard work!
DeleteBeautiful colour palette. I love the cocktails pattern it goes great with the plaid.
ReplyDeleteThank you "Gooseberry"! The mix harkened back to my childhood 4th of July family gatherings, when my preppie uncles would sport their lobster (etc) motif pants mixed with their madras blazers.
DeletePlaids are great and I love your fashion illustration!
ReplyDeleteThank you LJ. You can see many more of my illustrations over on SpyGirl.
DeleteLove your plaids, very rich color combination!
ReplyDeleteNice plaids and I love the outfit !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maike. :-)
DeleteI never mentioned that I loved learning the names of the different kinds of plaid. I noticed that a lot of the guys at work wear shirts in the tattersall pattern - so I was able to use that word!
ReplyDeleteThis post is so colorful and is just what I need after our 7 days of thick fog (and no end in sight. Haha.). I'm going to go look at all of these posts, but I already love your cocktail pattern!
Ha, thanks Val. Next I'll have you saying... herringbone!
DeleteThose mixed drinks are fun!
ReplyDeletebisous

DeleteFantastic! Loved the yarn dyed plaid.
ReplyDeleteThanks Deborah. Society6, here they come!
DeleteLove your color choices for plaid and love your Muse.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kim! This blog hop got me going on my personal designs again. I'm concocting up something social to keep myself at it. If it worked with my fashion figure drawing, it'll work here.
DeleteGorgeous plaids, especially the madras. And thanks for sharing the handy link to Know Your Plaids. I have pinned it to my Pinterest board!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wini. I'll be doing a post on weaves soon. Or rather, "sometime".
DeleteVery pretty - love them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Trina
