Lauren Jacobsen Interior Design

An influential interior designer in Los Angeles has featured several of my designs in her blog. Lauren Jacobsen is an expert at blending historic styles with modern features and trends. She noticed how I have taken the traditional paisley form and adapted it to create contemporary fashion and furnishing fabrics. Lauren states in her blog: "Designers, such as Patrick Moriarty in the UK, are doing a great job of incorporating modern and organic elements and color schemes into t

Pinterest interest

It's satisfying to see your designs appearing on social network platforms such as on Pinterest board and in Etsy collections. The way that designs are grouped together with other designs, fabrics and objects can give you ideas about developing a design or how to expand a design's uses. You may see your textile design in a collection for fashion garment research or furnishing projects. In the picture below, my pink bandana print design has been included in someone's collection

Rat Wrap

Before you turn away in horror, a rat wrap is not a lunchtime snack, it's wrapping paper printed with my unique hand-drawn paisley rat pattern. Today a customer has ordered a roll of satin gift wrap with the rat print. This is the first ever order of any of my designs as gift wrap. All of the designs available in my Paisley Power Spoonflower shop can be ordered as fabrics, wallpaper or gift wrap. We all appreciate a carefully wrapped present, especially with thoughtfully chos

Transatlantic Trade

It's been a good week for transatlantic trade; firstly a new customer in Michigan then two more new customers in different towns in Kentucky. To really put the icing on the cake, a New York company has commissioned 2 unique paisley designs for their women's footwear range. Hopefully they will allow me to post some pics of the footwear when the shoes are launched online and in store. #transatlantic #paisleypower #screenprint #michigan #kentucky #transatlantic #paisleypower

Paper Cutting Course

I attended a paper cutting course today run by Emma Daniels Paper Cuts at The Cloth Clinic, near Colchester, Essex, the oldest recorded town in England. I decided to cut the name of my website PaisleyPower into the paper. It took 3 hours and wasn't finished. It's a labour of love! (left pic by Velda Pond) #papercut #clothclinic #paisleypower

Rat in the Bedroom

One thing leads to another and in the world of online networking, reactions to new designs can come from unexpected quarters. Dave Collins ( DJ, rock writer & BBC Radio 2 Popmaster) posted a pic of my hand-drawn design 'Rattus Norvegicus' cushions on his facebook page. A comment simply saying "love it!" was posted from none other than Fee Doran, designer and stylist to numerous pop stars including Paloma Faith, Kylie, Scissor Sisters and Goldfrapp. Thanks loads to Dave and hi

Improving Skills

I attended a very constructive course today at Somerset House, London with 25 other students learning to make modern folk designs for printing on fabric. The reference for our designs was traditional paper cut-out art from Poland, Sweden and Denmark. The tutors from The People's Print taught us how to convert our traced paintings into vector files so they could be enlarged and digitally printed as large scarves. #folkart #illustrator #textiledesign #makerversity #painting #pa

Paisley Prints in Rimini - Pat's pics - 1st April 2014

I spent a few hours visiting the beautifully restored Roman mosaic floors from a residential block of buildings now housed under an enormous glass covering. Then a wander around the neighbouring city streets revealed the city's contemporary and classic paisley fashion prints. Here's a small selection of my favourite snaps.
