The Pattern Library
This is where all of my patterns will be kept. I'll be tagging them so you can go straight to your favourites. The tags will appear in a list on the right. Just right click the link that says "Download and Print" to save the larger image to your hard drive. Then print it and get colouring! If you like your coloured-in picture, take a photo of it or scan it and send it to me. There is a Flickr group that I've set up for your coloured in patterns. I'll post the best to the blog. Keep checking back for the latest uploads!
Although all of the patterns are shown in strips the full downloadable image is much larger. On the left is a thumbnail example of how a full image looks.

The second is from Migraine Chick. As you might be able to guess, she suffers badly from migraines but uses art as a way of getting her through the pain. She's provided us with a great image of some very scrummy looking cakes. Try not to eat the print out!

Oppy has sent me this rather hairy pattern. So comb through your colours, brush off the dust on your printer and snip out this fab image. For those that really want to show their style should take part in Oppy's site The Scribble Project, more fun than you can shake a curler at.

This little beauty winged its way from Ecuador where Jason Cook is currently based. Jason (also known as Jacey/Flatliner/Jaroslav) is working his way around the world but still managed to squeeze in some time to take part in this project. I wonder where he's headed next? I'm very jealous!
