I have been obsessed with this image since I saw it on Design Sponge back in February. More specifically, I am in love with the multi-coloured, multi-petal flower, on the cushion on the right. For a while I tried to find out more about it from my stitchy friends…”Is this a traditional pattern?”….”Have you seen this before?”…to no avail. About a month later, Anna Maria Horner had one peeking out, in one of her photos, and I emailed and asked if it was one of her patterns.
“Purchased at Anthropologie last year”, was the reply. I have been thinking of a way to do something different, with a similar feel and multicoloured effect ever since.
I am working on a concept involving my art-deco-inspired, swirly flowers,
that pop up all over my work.
Other exciting news, that will no doubt result in inspiration, is that I won a giveaway over at murtle and eunice, which means I have a golden green ticket to go to The Stitches and Craft Show in Melbourne. Thanks so much Tania! As an aside, I just wanted to point out that I was the first commenter on that giveaway, so contrary to popular opinion, the first person to comment does occasionally win!
I am currently studying the timetable for this and that at the show, and consulting the husband on the best day for me to go. Are you going?
whoooo hooooo, way to go claire!!!! I thought it was on this weekend, but I think Im wrong, its next weekend, so might get to go 🙂
All those cushions are beautiful! I’m sure you could recreate that, in fact, Beki at artsycrafty babe made a cushion last year based on that same anthropologie one – hold on while I find the link – here: http://artsycraftybabe.typepad.com/artsycrafty_babe/2009/04/knock-offs.html
Congrats on your giveaway win! I hope you have a great time at the show!
