I've mentioned before that I really like the artist, Lisa Congdon, especially her textile work -- bright colors, fun patterns, a bit air -- all things I like. I knew that she looked at the Nordics for inspiration (hence drawings like these), but it didn't really make sense until I visited Helsinki. Finland is textile heaven. It's where the goddess, Marimekko lives with friends like Kauniste and Finlayson. Their colorful creations go a long way in making the drab winter more joyful.
Here's the secret behind Marimekko, along with some of my favorite patterns.
