colour

As you may or may not know, I've been doing a little surface pattern design course called the Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design, developed by designer Rachel Taylor. So far it's been 'back to basics' with colour theory, developing motifs and sketching. We've been looking at colour this last week and as part of that I've photographed some of the colour schemes I'm seeing around my bedroom and kitchen. Didn't realise I liked dusky pink so much!

 a 'pin cushion' given me by my husband - it's actually a magnet out of a speaker, but it keeps my pins off the floor!
