So I have made this custom pattern which you can see above. When i clicked on the shape and selected the swatch pattern, this is what I get.
Maybe I can just play with scale to center the pattern within the frame, will try that out.
After a few months, that little spark turned into a little fire that made me feel excited to get up in the morning. At the time I was working 50+ hours a week and commuting an hour each way to work, so actually wanting to get out of bed in the morning was a somewhat unusual feeling for me.
I started making my first repeat patterns in that period and as soon as that process clicked, it changed the way I thought about drawing, painting, and digital art. I started seeing patterns everywhere and constantly wanted to stop what I was doing to sketch out an idea for a pattern.
One day at my soul-crushingly boring job in a museum where the temperature was kept below 60 degrees and there were no windows in my flourescently lit office, I was searching online for new jobs and discovered that Spoonflower was not only a 30 minute drive from my house but that they were hiring.
At the time I really only knew that they put patterns on fabric, but that was enough to convince me. I needed to be around patterns and people who liked to draw, so I basically ran out the door of my museum job to get there.
I showed him a few ways we could change the colors and layout of our motorcycles and how to make it for sale. It was the cutest little tutorial ever that turned into the beginning of a new life for both of us.
At the same time that our print-on-demand shops started growing into a respectable portion of our monthly income, I started teaching English as a Second Language online and taking clients from around the world for 1-hour private lessons.
We chose a date a few months ahead, and started making plans for moving to Thailand. My husband (a spreadsheet fanatic) had already figured out that we could live on less monthly income in Thailand and finally spend the amount of time it would take to build new life where we worked for ourselves and worked when we wanted to.
Getting on that airplane was one of the scariest things we ever did, not for fear of flying but because it meant leaving everything we had known behind, quitting our jobs, and cutting all ties for a big crazy dream.
I decided to find out if iPads really were the digital magic they seemed to be and after negotiating with a Thai teenager at a used technology desk in a possibly illegal market somewhere in ChiangMai I walked away with my first iPad.
Within a week I knew I needed to teach a class on it because it was simply too amazing to keep to myself! I had no expectation for what would happen when I posted my classes, but when Skillshare sent me my first payment of almost $3 whole dollars, I knew what that meant. That $3 was just as valuable as the $2 we made from our little motorcycle pattern not because of the monetary value but because of the meaning: this was evidence that it was working.
Behind the scenes, I was so beyond excited that I had found a way to get paid for making art, that I kept thinking it was going to go away. I kept my multiple part-time jobs wayyy too long before finally going full time with my creative work. The moment I told my bosses I was quitting and went 100% full-time creative was one of the scariest yet most freeing moments of my life.
I make patterns and illustrations for a living, and have the opportunity to choose which art licensors sell my work. I get to work with creatives like me who are working to improve and grow their creative practice, and I get to help other people realize their own creative dreams.
Hi, my name is Cass.
I am a wife, a mamma, a dreamer and a doer!
I am an optimist, a risk-taker, a beach lover, and a believer that anything is possible!
Originally from Brisbane, I am now lucky enough to call the Sunshine Coast home.
I specialise in the art of abstract watercolour illustrations, textile design, unique hand lettering and modern calligraphy.
My work is inspired by my laid back Sunshine Coast lifestyle, where my memories are so fondly captured from years of family holidays. All of my work embodies a bright and beautiful aura that I inject into every design and illustration.
As a qualified Graphic Designer (and Interior Designer) I have a strong focus on textile design, pattern design and wedding stationery. I work very closely with my clients to bring their designs to life in a way that is unique to them.
