I’m really taken with small print fabrics at the moment and am quietly considering developing my own collection of prints. I’ve been doodling a lot.
I have a theory that sometimes you are drawn to things because they ‘fix’ areas of your life. My work life has been hectic and stressful and a couple of weeks ago I had what could only be described as a panic attack – well that’s what I deduced after all the weirdness had passed. I did some reading about them and one suggestion was don’t try and tell yourself to calm down but instead do something random like count backwards from 10, in other words distract yourself. So my distraction has been focusing on the details in small prints wherever I am, noticing how much energy is in a small print when seen from a distance and loving that they are so simple in the placement of motifs and colours used.
To keep me inspired I have added some equally gorgeous patterns to my ever growing Patterns & Motifs Pinterest board.
I think I’m OK – is this part of growing older?
My gorgeous selections are from:
1. Desicraft Shop – gorgeous Indian fabrics and more
2, 3, 4 & 5: Pallavik fabrics & more Etsy store
