I have incorporated some of my new hand-printed fabrics in my collage. Inspired by cottage gardens on either side of the English Channel, my board comprises of traditional periwinkle tones as well as natural and striped European linens.
I enjoyed this exercise so much that I have decided to do something similar for a couple of magazine ads that I am designing this week. I will share once I have them done. I recommend that you make your own inspiration board; it really does help you see things clearer. Update: didn't have time to do a collage for my ads. See this post.
I need to apologise if you braved the rainy weather to visit the Young Designers Market today for I had to call in sick and I didn't open shop :(

Your board is beautiful and it is very evocative of cottage gardens and soft summer days in them... lovely!
Hope you're feeling better Mrs. So. An inspiration board is the answer to my prayers? Hallelujah!
oh, just what I needed to look at today : pretty flowers in full bloom, soft and sunny tones, yes as Kendalee says, it also evokes to me a pretty cottage and, I would add : the sea very close by :)

Beautiful inspiration board Thea!It feels to me like a mix of "home" and English cottage, very calming and beautiful.
I hope you are feeling better, but honestly if you had the same amount of rain than us...was better staying inside!

Love your inspirations, and the board is such a great idea. I am just starting one for a house reno we are planning later this year. Colours, textures, fabrics, my dream oven... I love adding things to it and just looking at it gets ne all excited (and potentially makes me forget the hard yards we have to go through to get to the decorating scheme!) Good luck with your blog scheme!
Oh, great job. I love the colors on your blog! So inspiring.
Lovely Thea ! My favourite colours and a favourite flower - hydarangea :)
Such pretty prints! And so serene too.
Lovely boards! And your designs are so pretty, feminine and beautiful! I just love floral fabrics!!
Hello Thea! Your fabrics look fantastic and I am so curious to see more! I love the periwinkle blue and the overall feeling you convey on your board. I really enjoyed your writing in the post too. Off to check out more of your site.
