I didn’t set out to turn one garden block into a whole series… but once I started playing with rotations and repetitions, I couldn’t stop.
This one surprised me with its balance and rhythm.
Ever had a creative idea grow bigger than expected?

Me: “I’m just going on a quick road trip.”
Also me: comes home with a head full of pattern ideas. 😅
This design started with a logo I spotted in passing. Then I had to see what would happen if I made it repeat. It turned into a full-on geometric tile party.

Another week, another garden block pattern inspired by the Canary Islands. This one surprised me - those lines are vertical, but sometimes they look diagonal. I love when patterns mess with perception like that. 😵
Have you seen this kind of illusion before?

Another take on the Canary Island-inspired garden blocks I shared last week. Hard to believe it’s the same base block, just rotated and shifted!
This version also pulls from the Canaries' rich volcanic earth tones.
Which version do you prefer – 2D or 3D?

Inspired by the Canary Islands, this pattern surprised me with its unexpected illusion of depth. A little creative magic from play and experimentation. Which colorway do you like best?

A simple floral repeat—until your eyes start playing tricks on you.
It’s amazing what basic shapes can do when they work together.
👀 Is it just me, or does it feel like it’s expanding?

Sometimes inspiration shows up in the most ordinary places.
On a recent trip to the Canary Islands, I fell in love with garden walls built from bricks with geometric cutouts. Their beautiful forms inspired this pattern.
Which do you like best: shadow or no shadow?

Creativity isn’t always about big leaps. Sometimes it’s about repeating one small thing—tweaking, rearranging, rotating—until something beautiful emerges. One simple shape, multiplied = a whole blooming pattern. 🌸

Wrapping up my tulip pattern series with this quiet little dance of blooms.
It’s a simple layout, but I love how the movement emerged just from arrangement.
Small shifts, big impact. 🌷

This whole pattern started with one tiny bloom.
It didn’t look like much at first—but with some thoughtful spacing and symmetry, it became a garden.
That’s the magic of repetition: it transforms the ordinary into something unexpectedly rich.

When I couldn’t decide between static colors and alternating ones… I decided not to. 😅
🌷 These tulip patterns use the exact same layout—just different color rhythms.
Which do you prefer? (Or did you even notice the difference? 😅)

Repetition might look simple, but your brain loves it. 🧠💖
Patterns engage the brain’s prediction systems—lighting up neural pathways even when you think you're just enjoying something pretty.
Turns out, beauty and cognition are deeply intertwined.

Tulips keep growing even after they’re cut—just like ideas. 🌱
They stretch toward light, even when no one’s watching.
What’s something quietly growing in your world?

Creativity is like a garden—you plant one idea, and if you let it grow, it often becomes something more beautiful than you imagined. This tulip pattern is a reminder of that.

The first time I saw a peacock butterfly, its colors blew me away and it remains one of my fave butterflies. I recently saw one sunbathing among cherry blossoms, and it inspired this design.

Everyone is creative—yes, you.
It’s not about being “artistic.” It’s about finding new ways of thinking, making, or solving problems—even if it’s just new for you. It doesn’t have to be groundbreaking to be creative.
What’s one small way you could be creative this week?

Not your average leaf pattern 🍃
One simple shape turned into a bold, slightly trippy optical design through repetition and color. It’s wild how much mood shifts with palette alone.
Which color combo pulls you in most?
