The Great Gatsby

Over the weekend I went to see The Great Gatsby movie [in 3d!] from Bazmark productions and all I have to say is wow!! I haven't always loved every Baz movie but this went beyond my expectations. It's a great story to begin with but the costumes, the jewellery and the settings were AMAZING! So inspired by this I created a new board in Pinterest of Art Deco inspired patterns. You can see the board here.

Co-Contributors / Intern Needed

Running the blog and working full time takes up a lot of my time so I wanted to put the call out on the blog for an intern with a passion for surface pattern design or textile design or illustration. I am looking for someone  who can appeal to the I Heart Prints & Patterns audience with their strong writing skills. The ideal person will have strong time management skills and be detail orientated as well as being internet savvy. If this sounds like the job for you then please get in touch via email iheartprintsandpatterns@gmail.com. Please note that this would be an unpaid internship. If you would also like to be a contributor to the blog on a freelance basis then please email me a little bit about yourself . I look forward to hearing from you!

Happy Weekend!

It has been so cold in Melbourne this week- freeezing! I will be day dreaming about a tropical paradise this weekend! See you next week.

Holidays [Again!]

Hi All - I'm off to visit family and friends in the top end and see Kakadu National Park for the first time. That means no posts for a week or so until I get back instead I'll leave you with these beautiful photographs of the top end from Australian Photographer Steve Parish.
