One of the great things about working a few hours at the library each week is that I can get hold of all sorts of fabby books. This week this little pile was waiting for me when I arrived to open up...
After a quick flick through all of them last night i was particularly taken with the Sanderson Story & as it contained some of my favourite prints it was easily always going to best, the most interesting.
I often wish that I had gotten that light bulb moment when first going to study art at college and making decisions about what courses to take. It seemed way back then to work with fabric it was 'Textiles' or 'Fashion'....Wish I had opted for the former, ended up foolishly taking the latter which all ended in a big disaster & I ran away with a solider!
Now if I had thought carefully instead of the 18 yr old strong willed barge arse that I was & maybe had some gentle guidance from a parent who thought that a career in something other than the 'medical' profession was worthy I may have stumbled across wallpaper design. (although in those days probably meant I may of had to tangle with the graphic designers & that was a big NO WAY).
But hey ho I didn't but no regrets I suppose & now I get to ogle at fabulous paper & stash away a few rolls of my own vintage.....in the cellar
