Last year I participated in the “LET’S FLY” bloghop, we had such great feedback that we decided to keep the links up for some time!
As I had decided to do a lot of handprinted surfaces for this theme, I picked hot air balloons as my version of flying. The shape of the balloon makes a nice and easy template to work with! In Stockholm you see them often in the summer. ( At the green cross I used to have my shop/Studio, once upon a time!)
After some sketching, I cut out shapes for the details and background and started putting paint on paper. Later I worked it all together in photoshop.
The final patterns I think would give a fresh and joyful feeling to bedding, so that is the theme for this balloon print!

I love that you hand printed these designs. The hot air balloon motifs are just great x
Thanks Jen! All things seem to be working perfect this far!
Love seeing your design process and your fabulous take on the brief!
These are lovely! Good way to get texture into your designs, well done =)
Must be the color combo, texture….OK can’t find the best words to say how much the combination really came out so harmoniously!
Oh joy, i have finally made someone speachless! Thank you all for nice comments!
Very fun and colorful…uplifting! Nice designs Tina!
Fantastic colours and textures Tina! Really make you feel like you’re floating in a hot air balloon! Great job!

Yay, so good to hear!
Great work, Tina. Love to see the process and the end result apllied in such an enchanting situation. The collection is highly commercial, keeping, at the same time, a very authoral and authenticity. Hard balance, well accomplished. Congrats!
Fabulous take on “flight”! I love how your designs look on the mock-up bed!

Beautiful balloons, i love them! And mock-up looks fab!
Great collection with a very happy feel to it! Love all these textures!
Lovely designs and I love the colour combo!
wonderful collection, love to see your workprocess, great!
Tina, I just adore your mockup- it great to see the end use and your designs translate so well for bedding! Thank you for showing your process as well. I think I may try to paint first and then play with it in PS, it could be fun. I love the textures you were able to create by doing that! Just beautiful!
I really like these designs an would definitely buy them as a bedding set. You should enter the spotty design into the tigerprint competition, spots & stripes. Good luck for 2013 x
Love these textural designs, and seeing the process you went through in creating them..Wishing all the best in 2013 : )
Showing process, using textures and doing mock ups ……all for a great post. Lovely designs!
I love this..the theme, textures and colors. Great work! I enjoy seeing it through from sketch to mockups as well! Best to you in 2013!!
Gorgeous balloons, so colorful and joyful. Love your drawings and the designs look wonderful on the bed sheets.
