Illustration Ella Masters
I am slightly obsessing over colour at the moment, as I work on designing my first ever children’s collections (hello material designing) might possibly the funnest thing I have done in years. I’ve been enjoying looking at colour trends which I haven’t done before in any of my collections because I normally just base what I do on my illustrations. I shared on instagram a sneak peek at one of the fabrics I have designed for my new collection. It has been a rather daunting task, as an artist I want to add all my work too fabric but picking a select few pieces has been hard, but I have gone with my gut instinct as to what I like mixed in with the colour trend of this season, hello silk scarfs and cotton burgundy stripped dresses!
I am loving getting back into reading over peoples blog, and seeing all the colours and textures that they are into which is always fun. I love Carrie’s bright printed kimono outfit, the red and blue flowers really work well, can you tell I have become a little obsessed with patterns and colours. Free People are making me so envious of pattern and Layering for the winter and yes i spot the ever beautiful Olivia! hubba hubba! Sweet baby Jesus the textures in this Nordic nights jacket is just blowing my mind, I think I am getting my love for fashion back!
Pinterest has been a great place for finding inspiration, I do get lost for hours searching and printing things off, You can find my pinterest here I could just keep pinning forever!
What kinda places do you gain inspiration from?
Blogs I’m loving
– J for Jen
– I want you to know
– Shiny thoughts
– Design Love Fest
This is so inspiring! I can't wait to see the textiles when they are finished!!! Color trends are serious addicting. My boss just got back from Mason&Objet in Paris and we are about to dive into color trends for the next month… Here we go! Thanks for sharing, Ella!
I mostly gain inspiration from looking at children's clothes – I search for something that isn't there and then create something in my head. Although it only lives in my head as I don't have the skills to get it onto paper.
Can't wait to see what you come out with!
Hi Ella,
I just wanted to say how much I love your blog & how inspiring it is. I found it a couple of days ago whilst trawling through Bloglovin', and have proceeded to spend those two days reading it from start to finish! The thing I like most, is that it's 'you': your artwork, your photographs, your story. And I really admire the way you are so about keeping motivated and following your dreams – in such a cardboard world, creativity is so important. Please keep at it, you really are extremely talented 🙂 So thank you for being you and for inspiring me to start my own blog, and to keep up with my creative writing! And apologies for the creepy, fangirling comment!

Hi Ella, I think your chldren's patterns will be amazing! I've been reading your blog for quite a while now, but I rarely ever comment. I'm sitting here with a blank page and paint brush in front of me and you always provide so much inspiration 🙂
