Pattern and colour inspiration




As I promised, here's a peek to the beautiful floor tiles I had my eye on in the old historic buildings I visited last month. I know there are other pattern lovers out there to appreciate this scraped beauty.:)
As I got inspired by shapes and colours I made this uneven floor tile. I drew it on the bus on my way home and liked the shaky lines caused by the road's bumps. But anyway, it's all about the blurry borders and bursting colours.

I've been working on a new project now, something that should be hanged on my bare wall pretty soon, as long as I'd keep my active side on the move. Even though I'm sick. Pretty much depressing. But oh well, hope you're having a productive Sunday.

yes, I love these. Definitely a perk I'd look for when buying an old home. :)

Wow! I once heard The Washington Post's Anthony Shadid speak, and he read a passage from his most recent book about trying to find tiles to rebuild his family's home in Lebanon.

Beautiful. Both of you artists. :)
