Challenge 141: Story Time Through Patterns: Road Trip In the late spring/early summer, Jordan and I have planned a 6 week camping adventure-- we're renting an Escape van and seeing a lot of national parks. (Really hoping COVID will be enough under control at this point where it will be safe to camp-- we aren't visiting any family or anything like that, either just to clarify. We take the pandemic incredibly seriously and haven't even been in a grocery store in almost a year now!) Planning and daydreaming about it has been helping me get through this year, so I thought it would be fun to do a little print series inspired by our future adventures. My main print is a standard narrative pattern with illustrated elements from a road trip: mountains, cacti, a road, the van, camping gear, etc. Then my supporting prints are more simplified and design-based with one being some of the scrubby plants that will be in the first pattern, and the second taking the shape of the mountains and making more of an abstract design. Although the first pattern is really fun, it's more limited in usage. The other two could be used widely on fabrics, etc. and have a broader audience. Caitlin
