So, having survived hectic holidays, a breakup, a move to a new house, and the Ice Storm of 2007, I think it's time for a bit of blogging.
Today's menu? Patterny goodness. To be served with a piping hot, fresh side of links (hyper, that is).
I find patterns very inspiring. Here are some of my favorite resources.
Pattern Books:
Vintage Fabric from the States
Put this one on my wish list, please.
You Work For Them - Patterns
Peruse their entire pattern section. Where else can you pick up book of camo patterns that's been secretly haunting your dreams? That camo book comes with it's own CD-Rom, by the way.
Celtic Design
All the celtic motifs and designs your little heart could ever want. Cd-Rom included.
Blogs:
Print Pattern
Self described "designer and trend forecaster with a passion for pattern in all its forms." A Yummy, yummy pattern blog.
Naked & Angry
Submit pattern designs to be scored and manufactured into "blow-your-mind" products. When you get done with that wander over to the blog. If you have a hole burning through your pocket stick around and buy some wallpaper.
Misc Resources:
Create perfect photoshop pixel patterns
I don't care what anyone says, tiled web patterns are HOT.
Free patterns
Nice little collection of free web patterns you can use on your own site.
Online electronic swatchbook
Facinating. Samples of fashionable fabric designs from the 1830's to the 1920's. You can zoom in very close. (Nice use of the zoomr app with flash)
Symmetry and Pattern
Sound smart the next time someone asks. Applies to more than just oriental carpets, too.
Articles:
Symbolism in Asian Motifs and Patterns
Ever wondered what the recurring patterns in Asian textiles and dishware mean?
Africa's Painted Patterns
A little insight into those bold geometric patterns.
Traditional Patterns In Korea
Finally, someone explains what's up with all of those dragon patterns.
Inspiration:
Dan Funderburgh
I'm losing my mind because these pattern designs are that cool.
Josef Frank - Textiles
These are amazing textiles. I'm personally in love with "Loops".
Funkis - Fabrics
Lots of fun and funky patterns.
Flickr photo - Thursday love
Love this little photo and all the great notes describing the origins and history of these fun patterns. Why don't more people do this? Start taking pictures of your patterns. It looks like fun. Do it. Do it now.
Flickr photoset - Patterns
Luv it.
Whew. That's more than enough patterny goodness for one day.
