Another pattern design for you. I forgot all about pattern design last month until the 29th. But, once I remembered, I went straight to my crab sketch. One of you commented that you knew I’d turn it into something. Well with your encouragement I have. 🙂
I painted the backgrounds separately in watercolor. And put everything together in Photoshop. With the spring weather here, summer can’t be far behind!

Thanks Sibella! I’m looking forward to it too.

I find individual crabs (loners) somewhat off-putting and intimidating (unless served on a plate that is), but in a large, crabby dance like you’ve made up, there’s no end of charm!

Thank you so much that is so nice! It’s funny when I scanned my crab sketch I thought I would chanGe the arrangement. But then I like how they were going this way and that. It seemed organic, so I left it.
