Inspiration: Eleanor Pritchard





This is she... the very talented Eleanor Pritchard... have you seen her stunning 
weavings before? While I should really be crocheting, I've found myself mesmerised
by them lately.






It's strange that I haven't come across her work before seeing as she is so celebrated 
in her native Britain and far abroad... Anyway, now that I have (finally) I do admit to
being completely smitten :)






And, of course, when I saw her studio I just wanted to live there! Isn't it amazing?







I love that her work comprises of strong geometric shapes and basic patterning. 






There's a freshness to her designs... a kind of 'less is more' aesthetic carried 
by bold colour combinations that highlight the design rather than smother it.






And she loves making cushions too, so she must be alright ;)


You can read more about Eleanor Pritchard and see more of her work on her 
website and her blog.

  2. I'm not surprised you're smitten Kylie, what gorgeous work. Her aesthetic and yours are really 'peas in a pod'. I love that silver and orange blanket, brilliant.
