All I know so far is that I like the shape and I like the seeds, but I'm still playing with everything else! I want to do two things with this pear - make a stand alone design (could be multiple pears involved) and create a repeating pattern. The next step for me (usually) is to go off and do something completely different for a while, come back with fresh eyes and elinimate the crud, and work on what is left. It's kind of a process of elimination combined with experimentation. As I am not formally trained in graphic design, it's mostly guesswork and instinct as to what works for me. Hope you've been having a good weekend!

Oh love PEARS!! So adorable & i once gave some badges to a new friend with pears on them only for her to say 'oh, i grew up on a pear farm' how perfect!!
Coincidentally i have some pear stickers & paper chains on a giveaway over at my blog, love Posie
I love the pear shape. There's something so round and pleasing and plump about it. I love your pears. I crocheted the body of my bunny the other day and it looked exactely like a pear and I decided that when I finish my bunny I'll crochet a pear.
Hurrah for pears!
just love the pears. I can't wait to see what you do with them...

These are so cool Nic! You're so very clever.
I love your images, I think a repeated pear pattern would look great! It's a shame that pears get a bum rap with that well used expression 'things going pear shaped' isn't it? Because really they are such a pleasing & positive shape. Good luck with your pear designs, who knows, maybe pears are the new fox?! xo
I like them so far! I'm looking forward to seeing where it ends up.... Pears are yum.
These are great!!! I love what you have so far can't wait to see more...
I'm a big pear fan too!!!
Love your ideas so far.
I think, but don't quote me on this, that in the islamic faith Eve ate a pear not an apple... but again - don't quote me on it.
Lovely pear you have there! Good luck with the ignore and it will come to you method. It always works for me!
Fantastic pears, I particularly love the one with the thick black out line and the seeds. Can’t wait to see where you go with this.
Pears pears pears. Yah! I did a pear print last year, and now my eyes spark up with I see them. Such a great shape, so fun to work with.
I sometimes wonder if not being a trained graphic designer gives you a freeness in your work, because you don't need to follow the rules.
Enjoy your experimentation.
love the shapes and simple lines. Even love them in black and white. Nice!
I love the design development process, it's always such a creative stage playing with motifs. I also use the go-away-and-do-something-else-and-come-back-with-a-fresh-perspective method when creating a new fabric repeat!
The pears look great, looking forward to seeing the end result.

I love pears. I can't wait to see what you do with your new pear design. I make pear shaped cushions, I think pears are going to be the new 'in thing'. Have a happy Australia Day.

You can't go wrong with pears, they're such a beautiful shape. I love the simplicity of yours.
I love the first little seed design and the border of pears at the bottom- sweet!
