In September I went to Paris to visit Indigo – a creative textile and surface design show.

My designs made it to the show through a collaboration with Believe Creative Studio and I couldn’t resist the temptation to go and have a peek. It was very exciting to be part of an international show like this.

Welcome to the last post on our mini blog hop!

I learned a lot this summer holiday. I learned that you sometimes need to ignore your fears and take the bull by the horns, that the more you do something the easier it gets, that most of the time when you think you won’t manage, you do and that having support when you work alone is priceless.

Once again, the amazing Believe Creative Studio will be exhibiting at Indigo Paris after a successful show last year. Rosa and Vincent (the founders) are based in the Netherlands and have 16 years experience creating gorgeous graphic, textile and surface pattern designs for children.

If you are on the Passion for Pattern blog hop today, you’ve probably just joined us from the wonderful blog of Claire Smillie. After you have read my post, make sure you visit Femi Ford’s who has some great designs to show you. If you have only just found the hop, pop over to Claire’s blog where you can get started and join in the fun!

I’m taking part in my first blog hop ever this Sunday 3rd June. It sounds like a very good idea as a way to meet other bloggers with similar interests and gain some followers!

It was organised by my “The Art & Business of Surface Pattern Design” classmate Claire Smillie. More than 20 Surface Pattern Designers have joined the blog hop, all with lovely designs to share with the world, so please come and join us!
