If you know me a bit through my blog, work or personally, you might have noticed how much I am drawn to the colour pink. Our vacation on Mallorca had its pink moments for sure, but one colour was predominant there – blue. I would like to share a couple of these blue moments, that… Read More
Last month I was invited by the creative online agency jovoto to join their Textile Orbit – you are given monthly briefs from a textile supplier and trend reports by Promostyl and there is the chance of your patterns being licensed. For this week’s pattern I was inspired by an “underwater trend” and used an… Read More
I am continuing the 30-day-instagram-photo-challenge “gathering evidence” with prompts by photographer Catherine Just here on holiday in Mallorca. After capturing these special moments in my everyday life at home (you can see them here), it is quite a different and exciting thing doing this in new and beautiful surroundings. the prompts: top row: gratitude, watching,… Read More
This week’s pattern was inspired by a tutorial in the Textile Design Lab, where I became a member in September – highly recommendable! It started out with some watercolour playtime in my studio painting all kinds of stripes: I painted stripes on watercolour paper and also on this strange yupo paper again (which took about… Read More
Another week, another challenge ;-).

A couple of days ago I “accidentally” stumbled upon the #365doodleswithjohannafritz and decided to join – hey, I can add a doodle a day on top of the other things I do daily anyway. … Read More
My pattern of the week was a submission for the Spoonflower design contest Pop Art Cookies. Pop Art rang a bell for me and I decided to update my Soft Pop pattern that I designed during this year’s Make it in Design Summer School. To make it more fun for me, I used a lot… Read More
I am a bit late to the October party, I just realized yesterday. So here is Clara’s calendar page: And it fits so perfectly, being right in the middle of the mushroom season and with the mushroom pattern I created recently. We have had a beautiful autumn so far, with lots of bright sunshine (but… Read More
This week’s theme for sketching and my pattern-making totally naturally popped up – mushrooms! When I went for a little jog last Sunday I saw loads of them having appeared overnight. Mushrooms are so much associated with autumn/fall and are such a big part of my childhood memories that my mushroom gathering instinct was instantly… Read More
