Last week I received my invite to Pinterest and i’ve been pinning ever since. I have 4 boards at the moment – “Cool Typography“, “Surface Patter Design“, “Website Design Inspiration” and “VW Vans“. Click on the links and have a peek!
It’s great for finding inspiration as you can pin things in groups and peruse them all at once. I’m pinning on a daily basis and finding loads of cool things to post!
Here are a few images from my boards.
You can see my full Pinterest profile here. Enjoy!
Nina is a Dutch designer who loves all things craft, ceramics and fashion related. As well as being a creative herself, she’s also a prolific blogger, who loves to write about beautiful things worth sharing with her followers. Her posts vary from things that inspire her on a day to day basis to her new ceramic works.
In this post I want to feature Nina’s “Super Festive” serving sets. I love the illustrative nature of her work which tells a mini story across the surface of the crockery she designs.
As well as creating new pieces, she also chooses to decorate recycled plates, jugs and bowls too. These pieces gain a new lease of life and combine her illustration with more traditional surface patterns found on the service wear.
Take a look at more of Nina’s work on her blog and online shop.

When I saw these illustrations by Bobbie Print on Flickr I knew I had to blog about them. Not only are they stunning illustrations but they are also inspired by the “12 Days of Christmas” song too.
The cards are illustrated by Victoria Oatway, who works as a full time textile design in Glasgow, Scotland. She creates gorgeous prints and patterns and admits that she has help from her four legged friend, Misty! Most of her designs end up as printed greeting cards like the ones below.
The “12 Days of Christmas” song, lends itself perfectly to the way Victoria works with its repetitive verses and very visual narrative.
Check out Bobbie Print’s website for lots more illustration and surface pattern design.

I was having a gander at a friends website today
(Sally Illustration) and I saw a link to this really great site related to all things Print & Pattern.
The site focuses on the world of surface pattern design and there are lots of different examples of how surface pattern can be used today.
Coming from a creative background I appreciate the diverse use of illustration used in lots of the designs and it has inspired me to try and do some repeat pattern work of my own.
Keep an eye out for some new work soon.
