Last week I launched the Weekend Book Club with the theme ‘Paper’. This week I am going to share some more of my bookshelves with the theme ‘PATTERN’ – which is very timely with the start of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design a week tomorrow! In preparing for the class with Rachael Taylor I have immersed myself in the wonderful world of pattern, and here are some of my favourite discoveries…
(PS With ‘Weekend Book Club’ I intend to share a different theme each weekend and archive them on the sparkly new Weekend Book Club page here.)
