These gorgeous handkerchiefs (yes really) and kitchen towels are by Danish company Bungalow. I have seen them mentioned a few times around the blogsphere but they have been slow to reach Australian stores. I love their use of traditional Indian woodblock printing to create these beautiful textiles. After stumbling upon these yesterday (can’t remember where) I was thinking it would be nice to do some woodblock printing and went in search of a block seller. This then led me to the traditional paisley design of Indian textiles. This gave me another idea for a web design of all things. My brain was seriously overloaded when I went to to bed and I had quite a restless night and when I was asleep I was, quite literally, dreaming of Paisley designs. Does this ever happen to you? Now, where was I? Oh that’s right paisley designs, I’ll be sure and show them to you when I’m done.

I can’t wait to see them.
Yes, I have many a night with little sleep because I can’t shut my brain down.
I used to have paisley socks. I wore them to work once and my boss called them my sperm socks. I haven’t seen paisleys the same since.
I just love the wood block hankies and kitchen towels. I love block prints and bought a few (well a lot) of blocks the last time I was in India. I’ll go and check out the Bungalow website to see where they stock in Oz.
Beautiful. I saw the picture and got all excited and thought wow a post for me about fabric! Yes some nights my brain is full of ideas and I can’t sleep. I often read for a bit as that can calm me down and then fall into a restful sleep. Charmaine.
