Cottagecore Geese - Surface Pattern Design

 I had so much fun creating this pattern for the latest #Spoonflower Cottagecore Wallpaper challenge.

I took the photos of the geese years ago at property I stayed at in Deloraine, Tasmania. I always loved the pose of the one that is facing straight on but never quite got around to painting him in acrylics - he just seemed perfect for this pattern though.

I am planning on adding to this collection - I want to create a tossed version that just features the geese - just deciding if I use these three or add a few more poses into the mix

I have added 4 colorways with 3 scales to my #Spoonflower shop, and they can be found under the Designed Collection - Cozy Countryside .

Thatch Cottage ACEO in acrylics

I had fun painting this one.  It was a bit tricky painting the windows and adding a bit a depth to the cottage. I decided that the cottage wouldn't be complete without flowers so I added them and  I am rather pleased how the painting  turn out.
