DESIGN LOVE: The India Collection, Paper Source

I know the India Collection from Paper Source: stationery, paper, gift bags, rubber stamps and now home goods, has been around for a little while but I hadn't blogged about it yet. I definitely gravitate towards the Indian textiles, block prints and Mehndi designs. Their richness has a  strong influence on the Paper Source's collection as well as my own work.

PATTERN LOVE: Textile Designer John Robshaw

Some beautiful new hand crafted textiles from designer John Robshaw, using traditional printing techniques complete with the human element of wood block mis-registration and pattern overlap. More of John Robshaw. See Spring 2011 catalog. Originally seen on Once Upon a Tea Time... 

CERAMICS DESIGNER SAMANTHA ROBINSON

Some beautiful ceramic work from Samantha Robinson that I saw originally posted on Ada and Darcy.  These lovelies can also be found in Anthropologie. 
 

HAND PRINTED GIFTWRAP

I first saw these hand printed giftwraps from Field Guide Design on Design Sponge. I love the hand printed or silkscreened design and thought they were so beautiful. The designs used hand carved Indian printing blocks for the initial patterns, that were then turned in to silkscreen block-printed images.
