TBT Throw Back Thursday : Digital Paper Collage

My daughter told me about 'Throw Back Thursday" #tbt and it sounded like a lot of fun so I decided to reminisce a wee bit with some fun digital collaging I produced for some of my patterns I created.  Really just to make them look different from the usual way digital paper is shown. Ahhhhh.... I think I'll put them on my Pinterest too.

My aqua sea blue damask designs with a modern twist are available in lots of lovely accessories and home decor products.  A set of 6 co-ordinated patterns were created for the damask/paisley prints.  I describe them as curvaceous, soft and calming theme of aqua sea blues for this textile print pattern range and these are just a few so why not pop in to my Zazzle outlet to see the full range!  Grab a coffee and get clicking!

Pinterest Followers Thank You!!

Pinterest
When you work in the isolation of a studio and a computer you just never really know how people are responding to you or your work.  So to find that I have over 160,000 followers on Pinterest is just amazing and I wanted to thank all these lovely people for pressing my 'follow' button.  I don't know if I can ever thank each of you personally but I wanted to let you know how delighted and honoured I am!!

I started Pinterest as I kept losing links and web addresses that I was using with my students so pinning seemed a perfect solution for me.  I also wanted to gather inspiring work in the hope that it would rub off on me as at the time I was creatively drained.  It was also an opportunity to network, research and let other creative people know that I 'liked' their work (everyone loves a bit of support). But it is so easy to get hooked on pinning my mantra to my students was that it should be used in conjunction with doing - painting, collage, printing, making, sketching, getting out and about and looking, taking photographs, absorbing the world around you and letting your imagination flourish.
