Animal Love Day – Unicorn!
On 01, Jun 2013 | 2 Comments | In Animal Love Day, animals, designer, fairytale, illustration, inspiration, my work | By Tina
Hi everyone. Apologies that there was no Animal Love Day last week. I was swamped with work for my upcoming shop. Anyway welcome back to another fabulous Animal Love Day, showcasing lovely animal pattern and illustration.
As you know I will firstly show you a new illustration/sketch/pattern from me and then a lovely showcase of fabulous designers.
The animals covered will include birds, fish, insects, extinct creatures and mythical creatures, and this week marks the first mythical creature – The Unicorn!
DREAM
I actually had a dream about a Unicorn last week! I dreamt a friend visited me and we went outside to my back garden. Of  course, in dreams things aren’t as they seem, and my back garden was different. There was a low wall and behind that was a woodland.
Well what happened only a Unicorn jumped over the wall just as I was about to look over it! Apparently it was my pet, because I told my friend just that!
The Unicorn wasn’t tall, like you see in films, but a tiny creature, smaller than a shetland pony. It was chestnut brown and scuttled about my garden, so I couldn’t catch up with it!
So I would like to say a magical welcome to this beautiful, mystical creature – The Unicorn!
MY DESIGN
I associate unicorns with rainbows and clouds probably because they’re mythical creatures. I am also influenced by My Little Pony from my youth.

Hooray for Unicorns!! I love that quote “Always be yourself unless you can be a Unicorn, then always be a Unicorn” So hilarious! Your pattern is adorable and I loved seeing the other artist’s work too!
