Ladybirds and Blossoms....

Since there is nothing else for me to do I will just keep the patterns coming. I guess it is a great thing as I've had the time to really focus on MobiLOVE over the past week. It needed some attention and I feel that I've finally found the originality I was looking for. MobiLOVE now breathes Emelie Jensen and nothing else. I never thought it would be so hard to give MobiLOVE an identity. The mobile phone accessory market is so saturated these days, and it is extremely hard to stand out and especially to be original in this sea of mobile phone cases. The good thing is that I've had to force myself to explore my mind and push myself to invent something new. And I have found another path along the way. I am researching some new products at the moment. I don't know if it will work or if I have to financials to sort it out. But I will look in to it. My aspirations as a designer has grown tremendously over the past month or two and I really want to see where this can take me. I am very curious.

If you want these cases then you can find them in the MobiLOVE Etsy store as usual. Just follow the links below.

I am still waiting for baby to come out and I am now 5 days over due. I am not very "happy" at the moment as I am struggling in this stupid heat wave and I can just about move now. I force myself to go for a walk around the block every night when the sun has gone down as this should help to get baby in position. I hope she'll arrive within the next couple of days, but who knows. Till then I will use my fan and my bed as much as possible lol.

A Hearty Tree and its Pattern...

Good morning ladies and gents! Hope you've had a great weekend. I spent mine away from the computer and away from any work. I am suffering in this heat at the moment but have tried to leave the house anyway. Yesterday the sun decided to stay hidden so I actually managed to be out for quite some time without dying.

 Last week in my marker madness I managed to draw this little tree anyway. I've had half of it done on my rough sketched which I do to come up with new patterns. So I decided to finish it anyway and with this tree came many other ideas.

 I am very happy with it and I love the colours. Black, blue and red are some of my favorite colours to match. They compliment each other so well.

 And since I fell in love with the leaves on the tree I decided to make a pattern out of them. I lurvely pattern that I would like to have printed onto fabric and dress and armchair with or something. It's been a project I've wanted to take on for quite some time now. But I need to find a good armchair in a second-hand shop first. I have found a few but never had the money to buy one at the time. I know there is one waiting for me out there somewhere and when I come across it I will know.

 But for now, the pattern have to go on to phone cases. Which you can buy from the MobiLOVE shop of course. And they're available for both iPhone 4/5 and Samsung Galaxy S3/S4!

 How about them apples ey?!?!

Drawings, drawings, drawings...

Happy Monday peoples! Here it is bank holiday today, so another day of rest.... For some anyway. I treat it as a normal working day and I have been working more or less all weekend. I started this pattern that you can see above about a week ago and yesterday I finished it. It was meant for a phone case but I think it is to detailed to come out nice on the actual case. I might make a test print at some point but for now I will keep it as it is. I think it would look cool on tiles funny enough.

I tried it with a black background and a white and I think I like the black the most. Reminds me of an old coffee tin jar.

Tiles for the kitchen maybe?

 I've been drawing quite allot over the weekend. Just trying to get things off my mind and on to paper instead. They're a bit easier to handle once they're on paper. I don't have to think about them anymore then. I've been doing a lotus flower study and I want to create a real nice and floaty pattern out of them. I am thinking in the colours of maroon, mint green, yellow and pink. Need to do a study of the leaves tonight and get some more variations of the flowers in there too.

 This little cutie I drew last night as well. It's been a long long time since I used markers, but I decided that just because one is in to graphic design must not everything be made on the computer. I thought it would make a nice addition to the MobiLOVE phone cases, and it look brilliant on the actual case.

Meow?!

 You can get it for both iPhone 4/4S/5/5S and....

Samsung Galaxy S3/S4...

 I am working hard on giving MobiLOVE an identity at the moment. Right now the shop is in one big mess as I am trying to make the change gradually. It is to much work to be done in one day, and I am still trying to find the right feel for it. I never thought it could be so hard to give something so simple an identity. But maaan I am struggling.

 I am getting a bit closer everyday though and am trying to give it that hand-made feel. And with some rope, a glue gun and a bit of cardboard and a little help from my true companion the computer I think the new Logo looks mint!

What do you think? Does it give you that hand-made feel?
That is that for today. I've got a few orders to finish off today, and on Wednesday we're heading up to west Wales for a few days of rest and rehabilitation. I really need it... Just to get away from the madness of a busy Bournemouth. I can't wait for the silence and the bird song, fields as far as the eye can see and the sea. We're going out on the sea. It will be the first time for me on the actual sea here in the UK. I can't wait and I'll make sure to bring you some juicy pictures from my mini holiday.

Phone cases...

Blog entries have been a bit sparse this week as I've been working allot. And I am really sorry about that. The patterns from the other day are up on phone cases at MobiLOVE anyway and ready to be purchased. Next week I will start a little series called "The Week in Pictures". Basically I will do a blog post every Monday with photos from the past week. These photos can be of anything that has happened during my week, but will mainly contain photos from my every day work. So I am looking forward to starting that, as I have loads of new projects coming up.

 Have a great weekend everyone and I will see you on Monday again! You can click the pictures to be redirected to the case you fancy.

Patterns made by ME!

Half of the patterns are ready! I had so much fun creating these and it has inspired me to try something new out. I will tell you once I've stewed over it a bit more... Brain is ticking away!

First Pattern: Here's my first pattern anyway: Apple and Lime, and this is what it looks like on the phone case. You can click the picture and it will take you straight to the shop listing on Etsy!

Second Pattern: Apples and Oranges, same goes for this one. Click the picture to get to the iPhone case shop listing.

Third Pattern: This is my FAV! I loooove it and I will make a case for myself I think. Tulip Pattern! I also decided that a Monogram would look lovely on this case, so you can choose whether you want it with or without. Same again, click the photo to go to the shop listing on Etsy.

Fourth: I am in love with the colours of this one. Crossflower Pattern I call it. I dono why, I just found it hard to put a name to the flower. Yet again I thought a Monogram would look great and this one has got the option to be made with or without the Monogram as well. Click the picture below for shop listing.

Since I am new to making patterns I would love your opinions on these ones. Anything I can do to improve?

Inspirational Patterns of the 50's...

Yesterday I thought I'd have a go at creating my own patterns. I haven't finished yet as I need to sit down and read through and watch some tutorials on how to make proper patterns in Illustrator. But I found loads of inspiration from Google Image search. I find myself drawn to 50's and 60's patterns mostly, but I wanted the patterns to have a touch of my style as well of course.

 So after browsing Google Image Search for about half an hour my head was filled with ideas. It is funny how much effort you can put into these seemingly simple designs. Sometimes I find it harder to keep it simple and I was exhausted mentally after drawing these.

 I think I came up with some cool original looking shapes though and can't wait to get started in Illustrator, which will be tomorrows job.

These patterns are for mobiLOVE, so you will see them on phone cases eventually. However if they come out nice I might make some new products out of the too. We'll see. Now I'm off to work! Have a great day all of you!
