Justine Ellis

Justine Ellis is a London based designer and creates screen printed cushions (amongst other items) her patterns are full of lovely textures and colour. I thought she would be really useful to blog for two reasons firstly her cushions are created in the same print process mine will be but also her use of detailed repeat pattern such as the woven cable knit patterns. I have not had the chance to look too much into repeat pattern and it would have benefited my work immensely, however its not too late to look at how the layout and colour work.


I think what works best with this pattern is, Justine has enlarged what in real life is a very tight and small pattern when knitted, the spacing and sizing she has used is what makes them really successful. The choice of colour helps them stand out and not appear too cluttered by using a plain canvas background really helps the pattern jump off the pillow.
