Tableware patterns for Amber Shockey Co., three collections in. Each one is built to layer, from a single accent dish to the whole table.
The most pattern-on-pattern of the three, blue peonies over a geometric grid. One plate on its own still works.
It goes with black linework when the table needs some structure, and cobalt sits next to anything else as long as there's cream in the mix.

The simplest of the three reads as the most modern.
Geometric grids and halftone dots on charcoal.
It sits under either of the other two. The flat graphic ground lets blue florals or red dragons go on top of a black linework setting and keep their color.
Burgundy dragons curled through floral filigree, the ornamental one of the three.
It works with black linework underneath as the setting. Straight against blue florals it's hard, since the cobalt and the burgundy fight, so put the cream pieces from either collection between them.

Every pattern had to work next to every other one
Each collection gets one hero shape and one color, and cream runs under all of them.
A buyer can start with one accent dish in cobalt and end up with a full red-dragons setting two seasons later, and nothing in the second buy fights anything in the first.

Three collections so far, and each one was drawn to sit next to the last.
