I am enjoying the pattern thing at the moment and making the end papers for Macmillan has been a perfect opportunity to try out some more. I kind of prefer working in this less strict, measured way - I didnt use a ruler for it and rather than making a repeat pattern digitally I thought it would be nice if it was more hand done so each individual component is different (in contrast to the James and the Giant peach) It matches the Macmillan drawings too as I used all the reoccurring motifs such as the cars, lamp posts and buildings to tie it all in somehow. Just got to get on with the front cover and printing now...
