One of the best parts about social media is the ability to connect with a community.  I have been a regular contributor to Instagram and other social media platforms over at Pattern Observer. I’ve also had the pleasure of creating graphics, presenting webinars and writing for the Pattern Observer blog.

Recently I worked with Michelle Fifis over at Pattern Observer on a photo challenge on Instagram. The photos posted by designers and photographers in the community are beyond lovely—check them out on the Instagram hashtag feed #POpaperplay. 

When creating the graphics for this blog post on Pattern Observer, there were so many AMAZING images that it was difficult to choose the photos to feature. I wanted to include every image! You can see the full post on Pattern Observer here. I included two snapshots of the results in my post. We will be having another photo challenge soon.
