I adore a good paisley. I don't know what it is about them, but the more I think about it, the more I think it is the random, yet cohesive nature of a paisley. You can almost get lost in the design, it can be intricate or not, but the nature of it remains the same. No paisley is created equal.
Yesterday, I doodled a paisley and think it turned out pretty well. My husband even said...how did you get it so "symetrical"...to which I replied...."talent, my dear...pure talent", and then erupted into a giggle...TeeHee. I of course could pick it apart and do things differently....but you have to start somewhere.
Here are some more paisleys for your viewing pleasure.
Paisley pillows. |
The window treatments are so nice, with just a little paisley. |
So graphic, yet the refined nature of a paisley brings in a tad of the traditional. |
paisley walls? I love all of the different bold colors. |
quite obviously a stencil...but look at how different it seems from the last image. |
paisley pants?? |
GORGEOUS!!! I love the wallpaper. I have seen it before, is it Farrow and Ball? |
Traditional, yet very different paisley. I love the design. |
I love how Peter Dunham works a paisley. |
All from Peter Dunham. |
Really, ya'll I could go ON and ON and ON....instead I will point you to pinterest where you could spend hours researching Paisley alone! BTW: All photos are from Pinterest.
Have a wonderful Thursday. I will be baking a Birthday Cake for my Dear Husband....and working on some other top secret stuff. Maybe I will crank out another paisley...the day is my oyster! (can you tell I have had a couple cups of coffee!) Off to work.

Oh girl, I'm right there with you on the paisley. I've always had a little crush on all things paisley. And really they are such a classic design too. I'll have to follow along with you on Pinterest.
I am not a huge fan of paisleys but they are growing on me. Especially since I am doing a wedding suite an blog logo that have paisleys incorporated in them. Love the drawing? Think you'll transfer it to fabric?
I adore your design! Show us the cake....will there be any paisley"s on top? I love paisley designs.
