NewsletterInfinite Rooftops
A common view in the old towns here in Italy…seemingly infinite rooftops going on and on…
I am loving the creation of repeating of patterns and experimenting with variations. For this rooftop pattern, I keep tinkering with the sizes and window placements. I know it’s been done before, but still fun to do your own. Maybe I can print some fabric from this as well! Here are a bunch of color variations I created. What do you think?
Infinite possibilities of infinite rooftops! This pattern is also my last minute entry for Illustration Friday – infinite theme. I’ve been busy and distracted with so many other things this week, but it’s nice to stop and just do something else – not on my list of to do’s!

Hello fellow explorers and creative minds! My name is Linda, aka tortagialla - a nickname my adorable husband dubbed me meaning "yellow cake" in Italian. I'm your not-so-typical Californian girl who took the plunge and moved to the Tuscan hills of Italy. Now I'm living my dream designing, illustrating and crafting full-time. You can contact me via email linda [!at] tortagialla [!dot] com
So many houses, and a pattern ?
I love that
Thanks for stopping by! Just realized that I missed a part of the pattern…if you noticed one cut off rooftop!
That’s fun!
The variations on your houses are nice.
Thanks for visiting…creating patterns can be addicting!
Linda
nice illustration & repeat pattern – I prefer the plain B&W, but just a thought – why not add a bit of colour to the roof tiles only, mebbe a terracotta red?
Hi John – Thanks! That’s a great idea as well…to manipulate just the black lines. I’ll definitely have to try that out and see what might work best for some fabric!
I’m digging it! Great take on the theme, and it’s done very well. I also like how you’ve framed them!
Thanks! I also like framed photos instead of just popping in a rectangle
Very cute. Looks like a little Italy. I like the black n white as well.
Thanks! I guess the white background wins so far…perhaps any color on white might be a nice fabric print!
I really like the light blue, very pretty!
Cool, I like the blue white combo as well!
Wonderful pattern
Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
I love it!

If you don’t mind I have included you in my favorite blogs to follow. Have a great week!
Thanks for adding my blog to your list – so kind of you! I’m glad you love the inspirations from Italy…hopefully I get to working more. So busy these days!
SO cute!! I’m partial to blues, so I’m loving the blue and white one.
You’re so talented, Linda!
