Wall-hanging detail. |
Between the embroidered hangings, saddles, boots and clothing, as well as the painted furniture, ger doors and temples, you can see there was a lot to be inspired by! I've added some more pics to the Pinterest board here, including one of a ger interior showing how the embroidered textiles are hung.

But back to my project! I'd decided that a stripe would go best with the stitched motif, since the stripes would form the sides of the pouffe and the stitched motif would be on the top. Once I started playing around with the patterns and colours again though, I thought I might as well go further. If I was going to bother designing one fabric, I might as well do a set. I also decided that while I needed to stick to the original colourways for the pouffe project, the other fabrics could be in more contemporary colourways.
And so now it's a waiting game... I have the designs about ready to go. I'm just waiting on fabric and colour swatches to arrive so I can finalise them. It's a bit exciting checking the postbox each day. Hopefully I can show you the whole thing by the end of the month. I'll also go through the print process a bit more then, but I think I've raved on quite enough for one day!
Anyone else been inspired by their travels to create?
