Greetings all,
Well having a sore-throaty-rainy kind of day off today, eating soup & sipping hot lemon - i haven't lost my voice since high school, this is alarming as i talk, a lot, & i pretty much sound like a transexual on the phone. My post this Creative Space Thursday is pretty much what i think many crafty types suffer - you have all the ingredients, but can't find the time to 'create'. After 10 long years in this business, i try to keep ahead with new ideas or do regular products with a bit of a twist.
Well having a sore-throaty-rainy kind of day off today, eating soup & sipping hot lemon - i haven't lost my voice since high school, this is alarming as i talk, a lot, & i pretty much sound like a transexual on the phone. My post this Creative Space Thursday is pretty much what i think many crafty types suffer - you have all the ingredients, but can't find the time to 'create'. After 10 long years in this business, i try to keep ahead with new ideas or do regular products with a bit of a twist.
So i'm on a journey of finding more time to work in the business as well as on the business, starting off with more unisex options for unborn baby gifts, using these Japanese prints - hmmm, do you see a colour theme here?? Could it be more beige/ yellow/ cream & brown?? I'm afraid lilac, lemon & green don't cut it for unisex anymore.
To further extend my cookie cutter shape screen printing series, i found these cute shapes to use - i really only wanted the mushroom & pear (of course, in different packets) but i think the strawberry, apple & chillies will lead to really cool patterns too.
Finally, after working with these fabrics on something special for Handmade Living (not a patchwork project i might add) i think i should do a range of quilts & patchwork cushions for the upcoming Mathilda's Market in these prints. They are very Room Seven/ Oilily - well they are from the Netherlands after all!! They remind me of the clothes i put my girls in when they were little, i had a bit of an Oilily/ CakeWalk obsession & i think they are so classic, how could they ever date?? Maybe some frou frou patchwork skirts for Summer too??
