ann informed me that i needed to blog today. she's being carrying the reins for the past couple of weeks, so i am obliging. though usually, i never do what ann suggests i should. like wash the dishes.
not blogging has been part of my overall hibernation phase since christmas. i haven't been going out at night much, haven't been calling anybody, and generally haven't left my pajamas.
instead, i am obsessed with patterns. now that i have a newer version of illustrator and photoshop on my computer, i spend countless hours making up repeating designs to my hearts content. here's a sneak peek of some works in progress:
this has also meant experimenting with all sorts of inket fabrics and bubble jet set, in the hope that i can - at last- create custom textiles. so far, the process is a little spotty, or, i should say, bleedy. but i already see improvement, and hope to make some *new* projects out of the *new* fabric soon.
in the meantime, to feed my growing addiction, i ordered this book on japanese fabrics that i can't wait to get in the mail.
and while i was ordering japanese things, i also picked myself up one of these.
okay, and maybe one of these.

omigod. need that japanese fabric book. got the isbn handy?
and i'm really digging your fisherman scene pattern - well done.
i know, right? it killed me too.
it's called something like "haikara tenugui annai" or "high color tenugui guide" depending on where you look. here's the ISBN: 4309280110
i know there's a copy on ebay, but i went through www.yesasia.com where it was a bit cheaper.
Love the ufo pattern. Can you make wallpaper or border strips of it?
