I'm going to make a cover for my Itouch because I'm a shocker with scratching it and have been exploring other crafty peoples variations. I came across Cathe Holdens 'Just something I made' blog. She sews these great leather products with iron on decals/transfers, take a looksie. I especially like the patchwork quilt idea...

More wallpaper graphics

Charming Bespoke digital wallpaper pattern designs by Anna Hill, clash of modern and vintage motifs and colours.

Sophie Henson

Really great graphics here! I love her handrawn prints especially her patterns for clothing label Abandon, also the posters with fantastic typography.

Camilla Meijer

Came across a talented Londoner yesterday while googling again (yes it's a problem I'm not willing to stop...). Camilla Meijer is a swedish graphics trained designer who went rogue and discovered her love for pattern creating. I love that she has simplified her product range allowing the patterns to be the centre of attention, she sells these on her website here. -Beautiful cushions, wallpaper and lamp shades.

WGSN

WGSN has to be the worlds leading online fashion and textile trend research journal -it's fantastic, when I was at Uni we had student acess to it but gone are those days! absolutely gutted. A textile uni friend works for Longina Phillips print design in Sydney and they entered a design comp for WGSN and won! Congrats to them it was a really stunning design of hand drawn illustrated objects -gorgeous! check it out above.

Patternity

This blog is a great source for pattern/textiley goodness, amazing photos of everyday patterns.

colour

Playing around again with kaleidoscope patterns with some of my flower photos. I'm having quite a bit of fun -I think yes that works but then discover more layer options and I haven't even tried any filters yet though for some reason I feel like I'm cheating when I use a filter as I didn't create it....
