Print & Pattern is about to break up for the Christmas holidays but I wanted to leave you with a preview of the new Print & Pattern Geometric book. This is the fourth title in series and focuses on design made from geometric shapes such as circles, triangles, hexagons, etc, as well as dots, dashes, stripes etc. Styles featured include Native American, Scandinavian and Mid Century Modern. 101 Designers are showcased with 460 images all curated by P&P. If you are looking for something to invest into with your Christmas gift money or book tokens then you can pre-order the book now at Amazon UK ready for release on January 12th, or from Amazon USA with the later release date of March 3rd.
It's the last day of Christmas reporting here on Print & Pattern before we look ahead to 2015. And today I am collecting together some of the lovely designs and cards that have been sent in. The first images feature a fab new print collection from Italian designer Sara Brezzi. Sara wanted to create a Christmas and Holiday inspired theme, whilst trying to add her own style with a palette of bright colours. The patterns are available in Sara's Spoonflower shop in the form of fabrics, wallpaper and gift wrap.
