Inspiring Fabric/Finishes IV

Amazonas

This weave is from Nina Campbell's collection of the same name. The base is a natural, almost hessian-like linen. The simplicity of the base allows the beauty of the pattern to shine and jump off the cloth. All of the colourways sing with an irridescent quality as they gradiate across the pattern. The pattern itself is a large scale trailing floral design. Grand in its scale, yet exquisite in the detail of the design and construction.


A quirky and fantastical promo shot.


This colourway gradiates from red through orange...


... to an almost flourescent yellow.

Meterage of my first textile design.


You can't take your camera out without Macy insisting on being in the photo.

How very exciting! I have been working on this project for a while. You may remember a previous post from April 2008, My Stuff III. It's satisfying seeing it come into fruition and actually hold the product in my hands.

The fabric is a chalk coloured sateen with quite a heavy, but soft handle. The contrasting black print is very striking and makes for a glamorous and sleek design.

You can purchase it by-the-metre through me or at my etsy shop. I'm also looking at producing cushions and canvases with this batch. Ultimately, it would make for amazing drapes. I have plans for producing other colourways and an upholstery version.
