Some artsy inspiration

Recently I've started with my PhD studies and I must say that I can't be more excited about that. It's great to have new tasks, classes and assignments that make you study, explore and create more and better. And I am so inspired and feel very happy about that ;)
One of the new classes that I am attending is called " Influences of the Modern arts to the contemporary textiles" and I am always so smitten when I realize how the roots of some very Modern designs are much older that I thought....

So here are some of the art pieces from Robert Kushner, very famous Paul Klee and
Sonia Delaunay

Sonia Delaunay triangles from 1925...

"Miss June" { Homemaker calendar magazine feature}

Another wonderful feature and very useful too-now I have a gorgeous new Calendar x 2014 featuring 12 Spoonflower designers!!!

I can't be more thrilled, grateful and honoured to who ever picked me and  my design (among a sea of designs and designers) to be in this wonderful calendar, among some very well known textile designers.
As you may see I am Miss June.
Who knows what this June will bring?
Looking forward to discover it !





Feel so thankful for this great gift!! ;)

SEW UK magazine feature

I was delighted to see my Babushka doll featured in the Sew magazine UK.
All the fabrics used for the doll and other clothes my kids are wearing are from the gorgeous Nordika fabric collection by Jeni Baker for Art Gallery fabrics.

The doll is among Bianka's favourite cuddling toys and it is so easy to make.

You can read all the sewing info on the following magazine's page and you can download the template HERE

I suggest making the embroidered face using the transfer pen and paper, that would give an extra touch ;)

Have a wonderful weekend,
Katarina
