Pinterest – my boards

Do any of you use Pinterest? I know it’s been around for years but I’ve only just discovered it, and it’s fun!

There’s so much on it – images of anything and everything you can think of. I’ve created a few boards for inspiration – pictures I like, basically; whether I’ll actually be inspired by any of them to do anything I don’t know, but they’re lovely to look at.

Here’s what’s inspiring me right now:

Textiles

Pinterest board: Inspirations textiles

Embroidery mostly, but other textile arts too. The work other people are doing is amazing, plus historical embroideries and fabrics.

Crafts

Pinterest board: Inspirations crafts

Other crafts – glass, ceramics, wood, jewellery. Beautiful things made by talented people.

Art

Pinterest board: Inspirations art

There’s a very fine line between art and craft and it’s often hard to decide where it lies, but I’ve tried to choose fine art and illustration here.

Architecture

Pinterest board: Inspirations architecture

In my day job I work for an organisation involved with architecture and the construction industry, which has got me interested in buildings.

Interiors

Pinterest board: Inspirations interiors

Wouldn’t it be great to live in a home that looked like some of these?

Landscape

Pinterest board: Inspirations landscape

A mixture of dramatic and scenic views, gardens and plants.

Random

Pinterest board: Inspirations random

Colours, textures, bits and bobs that don’t seem to fit anywhere else.

And not forgetting:

My own embroidery

Pinterest board: Embroidery

Some photos of my own work, which I’ll be adding to as I go along.
