Party Snails

I absolutely love love love snails!  I wanted to give them personalities by making them into party snails!  I had fun creating interactions between them in my pattern.  Just looking at these little guys makes me happy.

I'm still trying to learn how to use Illustrator and Photoshop, but this project was a fun way to do so.  I'm excited to make more patterns... perhaps one with confetti in it for my party snails :)

Thank you for an awesome class, Elizabeth!
