Drrrrrrrum roll please? I am so excited to announce the launch of this website which is the window into my imaginative world. I want to welcome and thank you for visiting me here in my own little corner of the internet.
I have struggled to overcome imposter syndrome and had all kinds of ‘the fear’ about putting my art out there because I don’t have a degree in a creative subject- so what made me think I could? I’ve been working up the courage for years to launch my own creative business but with so many creative routes I wasn’t sure where to start. I recently graduated the Surface Design Immersion course by fabric designer Bonnie Christine and I am so pleased to reveal my first pattern collection ‘Witch Spirit’! During the creation of this collection, I started feeling like I had finally found my creative groove through surface pattern design. In doing so I have finally mustered up the courage to put myself and my work out there - so here I am world- nice to meet you!
My first ever pattern collection ‘Witch Spirit’ is inspired by all things magical and witchy. It’s colourful, fun and full of joy. I do want to talk a little bit more about it because I am so proud of myself for putting myself out there in this way. I have always loved magic and fairy tales so it seemed like the perfect place to start drawing inspiration for my first collection. I got thinking about where inspiration comes from in general and in my case I think this love and curiosity of magic comes from:
1. My dad performing magic tricks for my siblings and I when we were children.
2. Sabrina the Teenage Witch TV show- I am a 90s kid.
3. Reading the Harry Potter books and wishing to be a part of the magical world that JK Rowling created! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am a curious person and I love learning about what makes people tick - so humour me…do you have any interests that have stuck with you that can be traced back to something in your childhood? How do these manifest or inspire your adult life?
Some of the colourful patterns from my first collection are now available to buy on a variety of products through my Envy Row Fashion Formula, Redbubble and Society6 shops- please check them out and if you choose to buy something please snap a photo and tag my Instagram account - I’d love to see my designs in their new homes. I’d love it if you would follow along with what I’m getting up to on Instagram so please give my Instagram a follow and say hello over there.
If you are interested in licensing any of these patterns to sell on your own products I would love to hear from you. Please shoot me an email at hello@envyrow.com
Thanks for reading!
Nicola
