i heart patterns....

i may not have mentioned it before but i love patterns - my folio that i just handed in was a textile design and i had so much fun. so i thought that i would start my inspiration with some gorgeous patterns (this could keep me amused for days and days and days!) so here we go....

this is from rosehip in the uk....anything with birds is going to catch my attention, but i particularly love the use of silohuettes agaisnt beautiful, detailed backgrounds.

this is gorgeous! i love everything about this! it is by an artist called john derian and he has loads of great stuff which i am sure i will make it on here at some stage!

this is some stationary that i recently purchsed from kikki k by artist jill bliss. it is so beautiful! i like how the grpahic backgrounds have been used behind these beautiful drawings. these are so unique!

and the last one for today is by rachel kelly. you can check out the full range at the interactive wallpaper website. i really love lino cutting and woodblock printing and this is why this work appeals to me. i love the stamp like quality if the flowers and the soft backgrounds.

i am about to head out to the kitten club to check out a new band....but i am already looking forward to adding more inspiration tomorrow!
