| I love colored pencils all nice and sharp! The possibility that lies on their tips...endless! |
I have been needing to tap my artistic side lately...you know the old fashioned kind, where the pencil hits the paper...and you just create. Sometimes I get to stuck on the computer, and forget how much joy it brings to start with an idea and see where the pencil takes you. I love print and pattern, and find inspiration everywhere.....Especially in vintage and antique textiles, china, and embroidery. Yesterday, I went up to my sewing/guestroom/studio (trying to make it more of a studio...that is another one of THE projects:) and was inspired by a vintage pillowcase that I have.

Funny, how a little inspiration can take you in a whole different direction. I turned on the newest installment of
The Skirted Roundtable with Suzanne Reinstein and just drew and colored. There is a little part of me that would love to design my own textiles someday...I am a graphic designer after all:)

| pulled out a part of it and made a pattern. |
Now that was fun. I have to do more of this:)

how fun! & looks great!
Very cool, Gretchen! I love fabrics/textiles - you're so lucky you can draw. I can totally see you doing that. I could use your first attempt in my daughter's new room. The colors would be perfect!
It's wonderful to see your graphic design talent at work - sign me up for several yards of the new pattern when you launch your textile company!
xxoo

I knew you were talented...but this is like a WOW moment. More of this, please!! :)
