Happy Christmas to all P&P readers, sponsors, and everyone who submitted designs in 2016. Thank you so much for being there and sharing a love for design. I'll be back on January 9th 2017 with lots more prints and patterns as we move into the new SS17 Spring season.
I am so pleased to be able to announce today the arrival of my new book Print & Pattern Nature published by Laurence King. This is the fifth book in the P&P Series and focuses on design using flowers, leaves, birds, trees, butterflies etc. 101 fantastic designers have kindly submitted their work and given an insight into how they create their works, their inspirations and influences. Just some of those included in the book are Katie Daisy, Starla Michelle, Eloise Renouf, Global Talent Search winner Katie Vernon, Liberty, Scion, and Skinny laMinx. You can see P&P Nature on sale here at Amazon UK. US readers can find it for pre-order here on Amazon USA. Print & Pattern Nature has over 300 pages but I have taken some snap shots to give you a flavour a what's inside.
This is a my final post on Christmas designs for 2016. (Although I do have something different to share tomorrow for P&Ps final post.) But for now we round off this current holiday season with a last look at some fab festive designs. We begin with The Art File where this colourful Christmas Tree pattern on cards and wrap was one of my absolute faves this year.
