Monday inspirations: my nautical inspirations board

This is my first inspiration board update this year and I gave it a fresh nautical makeover. I always liked this  white/red/blue colour combo but I don't get to use it often. Looking at the board, a crochet blanket comes to mind as well as a group of frogs made in these colours....or maybe a red owl with that blue fabric with the boats?

While I am not  sure where this combo will be used in Plushka's creations, I am loving the look of this bright board in my space. It provides a great boost of craftiness and definitely brightens up my Monday. There is something about red colour that makes me happy!

Wishing you a delightful Monday! 

Inspirations board, pastels and spring inspired

I think I am getting closer to choosing colour pallet for the Spring creations! Stepping away from mustard yellow was hard... 

However, the coral, mint green and more pastel shades are slowly taking over my creative space. 

I really want to have a little vintage edition sometime in Spring, hence two vintage tea cups and "Past to Present" writing to get me in the mood. I think it's time to put my doilies and vintage fabric collection to a good use...

Spring collection will have a few more green creations too. I have three favourite shades that I will try on pincushions first and see if I can make one of the toys in green, besides the frog and lime green owl... Maybe a olive green fox? Not sure yet but very excited about new possibilities that these colours can offer!

Do you like pastel colours or you are more bright colours kinda gal?

Inspiration boards round-up

A couple of days ago, I finally found a few minutes to update my inspiration board. However, after removing old bits and pieces, I looked at the blank board and there were no ideas in my head, non at all. I was not sure what my Spring season board should look like this year, what colours to go for... Thus, I decided to have a look back on my past posts to get some ideas and see which colour combos are yet to be discovered...

My board makeover usually starts with one item/colour/fabric/collection/season change that I match everything to and find colours that will go with the theme. 

April: New collection inspiration board was themed around "Plushka's apple garden" collection, colours - pink, aqua, red.

May: Autumn season update, colours - orange, teal, beige.

January: Autumn is coming  themed around natural colours an inspired by heavy linens and crochet.  Colours - orange, brown, warm and dark hues of pink, purple and yellow.

September: 2011 Christmas collection, colours - white and pink.

What my next inspiration board theme is going to be? 
I think something vintage and "from old to new"... 
Colours - pastels...

Do you have an inspiration board? 

I would love to see what inspires you!

My creative space...

In my creative space this week, I've updated my inspirations board to capture the last glimpse of autumn colours before winter kicks in! I love the neutral and pastel colours  at the moment with a little bit of teal added into the mix of beige, orange and yellow. 

Apples still inspire me since I started looking for inspirations for my "Plushka's apple garden" collection back in February! I am working on a special apple hair clips edition in slightly different colour scheme, stay tuned!

I am drawn to wood, lace and knits at the moment. How will they all work together? I am not sure at the moment but I know the new collection will be inspired by these colours and textures! 

Beautiful Autumn, stay a little longer!

New collection, Inspiration board

It's been 3 months since I've updated my inspiration board. This time it's not seasonal update, it's more a set of fabrics, colours and textures that inspire me for my new collection. 

I combined together bright aqua, hot pink and juicy red colours to reflect a new creations I am working on at the moment. The release is scheduled on the 1st of May and I just hope that I will have everything ready by then!

"Follow your passion..." - sometimes I just need a little reminder why I do what I do and it helps me to stay on track...

Happy Wednesday!
