Creative Space: Single/Double

I've been a bit lacking in inspiration this week, so decided to keep busy with 
printing up some fabric. I printed some of my Atomic Flower design in chartreuse 
on white linen and a natural linen/cotton. The colour was a bit lost on the natural
so I overprinted in the same colour and was surprised at how the design 
became more of a chrysanthemum kind of flower design.



So, yes... my creative space this week was looking at the relative charms of a 
single verses a double print. I've decided I like them both. 


The single print I'm going to make into cushions and bags... I think the cleaner 
pattern will look better there. The double print I think might make a good top. Actually, 
it looks amazing with another fabric I found at my local fabric store this week.


Hope you've had a great week. You can see more creative spaces here.

  2. One complements the other...have you considered making two cushions 'cos the variations always make the other more appealing. They would look great on sofas with bold colours wouldn't they?
