For Spoonflower's "Ultra-Steady" design challenge, I decided to create this pattern which depicts a green chalkboard covered in scientific equations and notations, along with 8 chalk portraits of important women who made great contributions to science.

The design challenge is a limited-palette challenge, where designers were asked to use one or more colors from Pantone's Ultra-Steady Palette of greens and blues. I chose the colors (PANTONE 6161 C, and PANTONE 6139 C at 30%) that reminded me of the green chalkboards used when I was in school.

The eight scientists featured in the design are:

KATHERINE JOHNSON, NASA mathematician and "hidden figure"
MARIE CURIE, researcher of radioactivity. 2-time Nobel Prize winner.
CHIEN-SHIUNG WU, physicist. Her "Wu Experiment" proved that identical particles do not always behave in the same manner. "First Lady of Physics."
ROSALIND FRANKLIN, chemist. Discovered DNA's double helix.
ADA LOVELACE, mathematician and writer. World's first computer programmer.
SALLY RIDE, teacher and astronaut.
MARIE-ANNE PAULZE LAVOISIER, "Mother of Modern Chemistry." Her contributions to the scientific method led to the discovery of Oxygen.
RACHEL CARSON, biologist and writer. Author of "Silent Spring" which spurred the modern Ecology movement.

Of course, there are many, many others who also made great contributions to science. I may have to create more designs to feature them!
