Hi ,

I hope you’re doing great! I’m thrilled to share some exciting news with you: my online store is now live! 🎉

I’m incredibly grateful to have you on this creative journey with me, and your support (being on my tiny list!) means so much. To show my appreciation, I wanted to introduce the first two products available in my store – both designed to help you take your collaborative art projects to the next level.
 

Here’s what’s new:
 

Easy Pattern Play Visual Resources
A set of 22 pages with inclusive, easy-to-use patterns for any age or ability. These resources are perfect for adding creative layers to your art projects and come with helpful tips to inspire you and those you paint with.
Foster creativity in everyone!
 

Pattern Play Printable Cards
A set of 48 black-and-white Pattern Play cards (6 per A4 page) designed for layering patterns in your collaborative artworks. Just print, cut, and laminate! These cards are perfect for creating variety and fun in your projects.
Simple, inclusive, and creative!
 

If you've already used my free guide, Starting Your First Social Artwork at Home, these products will enhance your projects even further! Plus, if you lead art classes or workshops, they’re a great way to inspire creativity in your participants.
 

Pro tip: Keep it simple! When working with patterns, offer just 2 pages or 3 cards at a time to help people make easy choices. Let them pick one out of three ideas, then get creative—repeat the patterns, change their sizes, or arrange them in random clusters for extra flair! You can also adjust the options based on the project or participants. For example, when working with people living with disabilities, I often offer simpler mark-making patterns, though I don’t assume they can’t handle more complex ones.

A recent project, Myriad in Harmony, was created with 80 visitors at the State Library of South Australia, many of whom were people living with disabilities. We used the 'Pattern Play Printable Cards' as our visual resource. I cut and laminated them into strips of three and scattered them around the canvas. I arranged and adjusted the cards depending on who was present, as too many choices can sometimes make people hesitant. We did this artwork over just three sessions!

I’d love for you to have a look and let me know: Are the product pages clear? Do they make sense? My shop is bare-bones at the moment, nothing fancy - but I’m eager to hear your thoughts! Have a look, pop back and tap reply...

Warmly,
Charndra

P.S. Thank you for being part of my "Pattern Play Collaborative Art" journey. I can’t wait to see where our creativity takes us next!
