I like to take shapes, gestural motifs, and colours from my abstracted paintings and rework them into surface designs. This one is Ruska 2 v2 Blue, as printed on cotton percale in 2023. (I ordered it from CottonBee, and it is available on other fabrics via Spoonflower.)

#art #FabricDesign #RepeatPattern #fabric #SurfaceDesign

A broad view of an abstract printed repeat pattern in blue, green, teal, and grey. It has a swirling water and leaves feel to it.

A close-up of abstract printed fabric design. It is of overlapping transparent lozenge shapes with a somewhat leafy and watery nature. Colour palette in pale blue, grey, dark green, blue, and teal.

Another #invertebrate repeat pattern for #invertefest! This one is made with might linocut #Beetles. My print shows, from left to right, top to bottom: Goliath beetle, Calligrapha verrucosa, blowout tiger beetle, Fruhstorferia sexmaculata, Phaedon oviformis, Reindeer beetle, Ceratophyus martinez, Erythrus ardens.

https://www.spoonflower.com/en/fabric/20005184-beetle-collection-block-print-by-minouette

As described this is a half-drop repeat pattern made with my beetles linocut. My print shows, from left to right, top to bottom: Goliath beetle, Calligrapha verrucosa, blowout tiger beetle, Fruhstorferia sexmaculata, Phaedon oviformis, Reindeer beetle, Ceratophyus martinez, Erythrus ardens.

The species is not only dimorphic with different male and female forms but also the females are polymorphic (that is, they come in different forms) and with mimetic forms (mimicking other species). This one is the Female alcanor form (with the swallow tails).

Another mollusc repeat pattern for #inverteFest! This one is made with my linocut nautilus. Cephalopods, like octopuses and squid, the nautili grow their own shells and are known as “living fossils,” having survived relatively unchanged for millions of years.

#repeatPattern #sciart #nautilus #cephalopods #oceanLife #wildlifeArt #linocut #printmaking #spoonflower #mastoArt

As described this is a repeat pattern made with a random smattering of my linocut nautilus (and its reflection) in variable bronze-gold-purple ink on white, against a light teal background

Another mollusc themed repeat pattern in time for #inverteFest for your nature loving Valentine featuring three of my #linocut heart cockles (Corculum cardissa). Perfect for your favourite malachologist, beach comber or shell collector.

Corculum cardissa, the heart cockle, is a species of marine bivalve mollusc in the family Cardiidae found in the Indo-Pacific. If viewed from the side, it looks like a heart. 🧵

#printmaking #cockle #mastoArt #invertebrate #sciart #repeatPattern #spoonflower

As described this is a mollusc themed repeat pattern featuring three of my linocut heart cockles (Corculum cardissa), in various patterns of pink and coral on white, spread randomly and overlapping on a pink background.

My humpback whale repeat pattern! Made with my humpback whale linocut and in my Spoonflower minouette shop. I love seeing humpbacks when going to sea!

A repeat pattern made with my linocut humpback whale facing in alternating directions on an angle, against a teal background. The humpback is printed in blue-grey and white and viewed from the side.

In high-density, these grasshoppers can be considered a garden or argricultural pest who eat grain. Their food consumption raises with temperature. On the other hand, grasshoppers are edible and looking to the future, people are starting to think creatively about protein sources with less environmental impact.

As described this is a pattern (overlapping half-drop) made with my linocut group of black-eyed susans, purple coneflower with perched monarch butterfly against a cream coloured background

Another fun, simple repeat pattern made with the tomato lino block print I carved and printed for my print about food crops grown here in Ontario which benefit from insects. 🍅

Also in my spoonflower minouette shop!

#linocut #printmaking #tomatoes #repeatPattern #surfaceDesign #colour #plants #sciart #mastoArt

As described this is my 16” x 20” linocut print illustrating food crops grown in Ontario which benefit from insects. In a circle in the centre is text carved to appear hand lettered, printed in black. Arcing upwards reads “OUR FATE”. Horizontally across the middle reads “IS TIED”. Arcing downwards in smaller text reads “TO THAT OF THE”. Arcing downwards in larger text on the second line reads “INSECTS.” Scattered around the words are fruits, berries and life sized vegetables.
Clockwise from top: cranberry, eggplant, green bean, apricot, field cucumber, blueberries (both low and high bush), gooseberry, plum, raspberry, pole bean, haskap, pumpkin, peach, watermelon, sour cherry, cantaloupe, currents, kidney bean, zucchini, apple, snap bean, acorn squash, blackberry, pear and in the centre: tomato, yellow pepper and strawberry.

As described this is a repeat pattern made with a random scattering of images of my linocut red tomato with green leaf top against a teal background

Here’s a simple repeat pattern with the strawberry linocut I made for my print about plants which benefit from insects. I think sometimes simple is best on textiles and I have been thinking about hand printing some strawberry fabric. You can find this one in my minouette Spoonflower
collection too.

As described this is a repeat pattern made with my linocut strawberry (red berry, white seeds, green leaves on top). The strawberry is repeated randomly many times over a square section of the design over a cool pink background.

Introducing the repeat surface pattern Waves and Foam. The shapes and motifs come from a small abstracted water painting that I have hidden away in my studio. (No lozenges this time!) It is available for purchase on fabric of your choice at Spoonflower: https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/kaminen_mosher

#FabricDesign #RepeatPattern #Fabric #TextileDesign #SurfaceDesign #FinnishDesign #SpoonFlower

A close-up detail of an abstracted waves repeat pattern that consists of three layers of amorphous wriggly shapes in tones of grey. The topmost layer is a pale-almost-white grey that curls around the darker shapes like foam on waves.

A mock-up of how the abstracted fabric pattern representing waves and foam would look as sewn into a square pillow cover. The fabric is in tones of teal green with large foam swirls.

A mock-up of how the abstracted waves fabric pattern would look as a knee-length A-line skirt. This version of the pattern is in tones of violet, and looking very sea foamy.

A mock-up of how the abstracted waves and foam pattern would look as printed on fabric for a blanket that is draped over a piece of living room furniture. The fabric is printed in tones of cobalt blue, with plenty of foaming waves caps in pale blue.

Introducing a new repeat surface pattern Water's Surface. It has shapes and motifs inspired by my abstracted flood water painting, including the ubiquitous lozenges. It is available for purchase on fabric of your choice at Spoonflower: https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/kaminen_mosher

#Fabric #TextileDesign #FabricDesign #RepeatPattern #SurfaceDesign #FinnishDesign #FinnishArtist #SpoonFlower

A detail of an abstracted repeat pattern that mimics the movement and reflective property of the surface of moving water. The pattern is made up of hand-drawn curling and undulating shapes in tones of grey, with a smattering of almost-white lozenges as the top layer.

A mockup of how the abstracted fabric pattern representing the surface of moving water would look as sewn into a square stuffed pillow. The fabric is in tones of teal green.

A mock-up of how the abstracted repeat pattern depicting the surface of moving water would look as printed on fabric for a blanket on a piece of living room furniture. The fabric is printed in tones of cobalt blue, with plenty of cascading lozenges in pale blue.

A mock-up of how the abstracted repeat pattern would look printed on an undulating piece of fabric aligned with a ruler on the top and bottom showing the measurement unit as inch. The pattern is in tones of violet.

I’ve been working on fabric designs based off of my recent water paintings. It’s been all fire and plants up to this point, so water seemed the next logical step.

#FabricDesign #RepeatPattern #Fabric

A section of a fabric pattern design showing layers of overlapping flat abstract sinuous shapes in tones of sea blue. There is a smattering of almost-white pale blue lozenges dusted down the left side of the image, like shimmering highlights on the surface of water.

Since I made all these block prints of Ontario food crops helped by insects for my upcoming show, I thought I would use them to make some repeat patterns too! You can find these ‘Harvest’ print patterns on fabric or wallpaper in my Spoonflower shop.

They include cranberry, eggplant, green bean, apricot, field cucumber, blueberries (both low and high bush), gooseberry, plum, raspberry, pole bean, haskap, pumpkin, 🧵

Close-up detail of a fabric repeat pattern depicting abstract plumes of flame and charred squiggly forms. Lots of semi-transparent lozenges in crimson red, orange, yellow, and grey.

I've been working on more fabric designs - this group has shapes and colours from my abstracted forest fire paintings. I posted them to Spoonflower (https://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/kaminen_mosher) for individual orders while I wait on getting in a bulk order for my own project. I'm thinking linen. I just want to stare at vibrant colours after all this interminal snow.

Mock-up of a square pillow on a white background. The pillow sham has a fabric pattern of abstract lozenge and squiggly shapes in a whirl of burgandy red, smokey blue, burnt black, orange, and pale yellow. The design name is Fire Plumes.

Close-up of a section of fabric with a print in overlapping grey and purple lozenge and free-hand bulbous shapes. The design is titled Fire Blot - Red.

Mock-up of a haphazardly folded blanket on a white bed in front of a sliding glass door. The blanket has an abstracted pattern in reds and oranges on a pale yellow background. The design is called Forestfire Burst - Red.

Mock-up of a patterned table cloth on a wooden table in a white room. The fabric pattern is an abstracted depiction of curls of smoke and haze intertwined with charred black squiggly shapes on a pale yellow background. The name of the design is Fire Plumes and Smoke.

Yesterday was all excitement in the afternoon, at least for me. My first bulk order of my Ruska series of fabric designs printed on organic cotton percale arrived from CottonBee! It was a joy to just stare at the full patterns and imagine what projects to use them in.

I hope there will be more orders for others to enjoy too - otherwise I might have a printed fabric hoarding issue.
