DesignTaxi Website

I thought I would share this website that I can now spend hours on. It is designtaxi.com and it's awesome. It is an amazing source of inspiration as well as keeping you up to date on the most random of all design news. It has lots of cat videos for those procrastinating moments as well as up to date releases on…. well everything! I could go on but please just go check it out for yourself. It changes everyday and always has something quirky, fun or new to look at.

Pattern Inspiration Mood Board - Friends Wedding

I was a bridesmaid for one of my good friends and she had her wedding in Koh Samui, Thailand. It was a memorable occasion and I would like to design a pattern for her to make into some cushions. 

I've been doing some research and put together a mood board to get me started on some ideas. I still love working with watercolours and really loved the treatment that was applied to artwork Pink Peonies Watercolour Illustration by Metal Poster (Milena Gaytandzhieva). 

I'm going to use yellow roses with the soft blue lace floral that was our dresses as the main features and then have highlights of the palms/leaves and flowers in greens and pinks to highlight the Thailand location.

Next step for me is to get sketching!
