Some members of Boston Handmade have obvious recurring themes. The Hole Thing is a perfect example: Louise consistently features holes, circles, and dots in her work. Others, however, have a little more explaining to do!

For Katy of MuchachaK, sometimes the themes that pop up are conscious and some are totally unintentional:

Jennifer Hill of JHill Design has a paper line called Places I Have Never Been. She researches places where she hasn't been and then does pattern drawings about her imaginary vacations there. Besides actual places represented in her work, some recurring themes are:

in each pattern. I don't know why, there just always has been :)
Food... I've done patterns about doughnuts, oysters, tequila, champagne... I guess I just love food and drink.
Flora... I love doing floral patterns, though recently I've tried to start doing some patterns with her partner, fauna."
Stay tuned to learn about more recurring themes in the work of Boston Handmade members.
