<p>Ok, this time I felt in love with the photo-illustration you see at the top by Jenny M. and from it comes the theme of the week, and then pooof&#8230; all the other picks!</p>
<p><strong>Love how she added digital illustrated details on the photo!</strong><br />
In an overview it gives the impression that it&#8217;s an entirely illustrated image. awwww.<br />
Something reminds me to <em><strong>Amélie Poulain</strong></em>.</p>
<p>I love all these single works guys&#8230;<br />
Bloomers are the best! (I know, I already said it&#8230; but it&#8217;s true, it&#8217;s your fault :P)</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><em>{ psssst.

<p>Questa volta mi son innamorata della foto-illustrazione di Jenny M. Da quella è arrivato il tema della settimana, e poi da lì, puuuf&#8230; tutti gli altri &#8216;picks&#8217;!</p>
<p><strong>Adoro il modo in cui ha aggiunto le illustrazioni digitali nella foto!</strong><br />
Ad uno sguardo d&#8217;insieme da l&#8217;impressione che l&#8217;immagine sia interamente illustrata.<br />
In qualche modo mi ricorda <em><strong>Amélie Poulain</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Sono tutti davvero stupendi&#8230;<br />
Bloomers, siete li meJo! (si, dai, qui nella versione Italiana mi sfogo un pò con qualche intercalare dialettale preso a random dalla nostra cara penisola, posso vé? :P)</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><em>{ psssst. Da domani, Sabato 28 Aprile all&#8217; 1 Maggio, sarò fuori per un convegno e probabilmente non avrò la connessione internet, o davvero per poco &#8211; ma ma ma &#8211; farò il possibile per leggervi!! Forse riuscirò a pubblicare anche qualcosa dal mio scrausissimo, ma a volte fedele, smart phone. Giassò che mi mancherete </em> ♥ <em>}</em></span></p>

<span class='postTabs_titles'><b>English</b></span><img src='http://www.imaginativebloom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Sam-Osborne-A-behind-the-scene-story.jpg' width='474px' height='453.31636363636px' title='The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure' alt='Sam Osborne A behind the scene story  The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure'/></p>
<p>As I sat at my kitchen table, the spring sunshine pouring through the window, I realised that this was why I made that crazy decision back in 2011.</p>
<h6><span style="color: #888888;">You know the one. The one where I gave up my secure, fun, salaried job to start my own business. </span></h6>
<p>I had just finished the final design for my first full range of prints, cards and products. Ranges are a very new thing for my business, developed in an effort to create a more cohesive look, allow me to add new types of product and to streamline my workflow a little.</p>
<p>A break from the more experimental, iterative structure I’d been working with before. I was a whole new adventure for my business!</p>
<p>It was an exciting adventure. I spent weeks in museums and galleries, exploring pattern catalogues, trend forecasts, and <strong>filling sketchbook after sketchbook</strong> and began to develop a concept that was a combination of tribal patterns, storytelling and adventure.</p>
<p>The whole look conjured up visions of explorers in hot air balloons, treasure maps and many stories to be told and I couldn’t wait to get designing!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src='http://www.imaginativebloom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Drawings-by-Sam-Osborne.jpg' width='474px' height='331.8px' title='The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure' alt='Drawings by Sam Osborne  The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure'/></p>
<p>Three patterns, <strong>inspired by ceramics from 13th century Iran</strong>, <strong>tapestries from modern day Peru</strong> and <strong>Atomic Age geometric designs</strong>, lie at the heart of the range.</p>
<p>These would become final designs in their own right but I was also going to deconstruct them and add text and image creating a wider series of designs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src='http://www.imaginativebloom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Patterns-by-Sam-Osborne.jpg' width='474px' height='355.93090909091px' title='The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure' alt='Patterns by Sam Osborne  The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure'/></p>
<p>The text came in the form of two great quotes I found &#8211; George Mallory’s answer to why he wanted to climb Everest and a fun Calvin and Hobbes quote.</p>
<p>And in my sketchbook <strong>I had begun to focus on more everyday adventures and adventures of the imagination</strong>, the excitement you get before a holiday, the treasure maps that kids draw. These all really interested me and developed into three more illustrations that combine simple shapes, bright colours and elements of the tribal patterns &#8211; <em>the whole range is full of energy and optimism, perfect for spring!</em></p>
<p><img src='http://www.imaginativebloom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Prints3-by-Sam-Osborne.jpg' width='474px' height='329.21454545455px' title='The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure' alt='Prints3 by Sam Osborne  The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure'/></p>

<h5><span style="color: #888888;">I knew I wanted the design to be more than prints and cards, but I’d never created products with my designs before so sourcing items was an adventure in itself.</span></h5>
<p>Working out how to print them, how the prices would work and which products to pick involved a lot of research and some trial and error.</p>
<p>I came up with an initial selection of bags and tea towels that I am happy with and have plans to add mugs, cushions and pencils to the range in the very near future &#8211; so <strong>the adventure continues</strong>!</p>

<h4><span style="color: #5fc9dc;">Dietro le quinte: la storia della serie, della ricerca e pronti all’avventura!</span></h4>
<p>Seduta al tavolo della cucina mentre il sole primaverile attraversava la finestra, ho realizzato che questo era il motivo per il quale nel 2001 ho preso quella folle decisione.</p>
<h5><span style="color: #888888;">Lo sai. Quella in cui ho lasciato il mio sicuro, divertente e retribuito lavoro per iniziare la mia attività in proprio.</span></h5>
<p>Avevo appena finito il progetto definitivo per la mia prima serie completa di stampe, cartoline, e prodotti. Le serie sono una cosa nuova per la mia attività, le ho sviluppate per cercare di dare un look più coeso, mi permette di aggiungere nuovi tipi di prodotti e di ottimizzare un po’ il mio flusso di lavoro.</p>
<p>Una pausa dalla struttura più iterativa e sperimentale con cui ho lavorato prima. E’ stata un’avventura totalmente nuova per la mia attività!</p>
<p>E’ stata un’avventura eccitante. Ho trascorso settimane tra musei e gallerie, esplorando cataloghi di pattern, previsioni di trend, e <strong>riempiendo di schizzi quaderno dopo quaderno</strong> ho iniziato a sviluppare un concept che era una combinazione di pattern tribali, narrazione e avventura.</p>
<p>Tutto evocava visioni di esploratori in mongolfiera, mappe del tesoro e molte storie da raccontare, e non vedevo l’ora di iniziare a progettare!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src='http://www.imaginativebloom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Drawings-by-Sam-Osborne.jpg' width='474px' height='331.8px' title='The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure' alt='Drawings by Sam Osborne  The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure'/></p>
<p>Tre pattern,<strong> ispirate dalle ceramiche dall’Iran del 13° secolo</strong>, <strong>arazzi del Perù dei giorni nostri</strong>, e <strong>disegni geometrici dell’era atomica</strong>, sono al centro della serie.</p>
<p>Questi diventerebbero i design finali veri e propri ma volevo anche decostruirli per aggiungere testo e immagini creando una più ampia serie di designs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src='http://www.imaginativebloom.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Patterns-by-Sam-Osborne.jpg' width='474px' height='355.93090909091px' title='The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure' alt='Patterns by Sam Osborne  The behind the scenes story of ranges, research and being ready for adventure'/></p>
<p>Il testo è venuto nella forma di due meravigliose citazioni che ho trovato – la risposta di George Mallory sul perché volesse scalare l’Everest e una citazione divertente di Calvin and Hobbes.</p>
<p>Mentre nel mio sketchbook <strong>avevo iniziato a concentrarmi di più sulle avventure del quotidiano e dell’immaginazione</strong>, l’eccitazione che si ha prima di una vacanza, la mappa del tesoro che disegnano i bambini.</p>
<p>Ero realmente interessata ad ognuna di queste e le ho sviluppate in altre tre illustrazioni che combinano forme semplici, colori brillanti e elementi delle pattern tribali – <em>l’intera serie è piena di energia e ottimismo, perfetta per la primavera!</em></p>

<h5><span style="color: #888888;">Sapevo di volere che il design andasse oltre a stampe e cartoline, ma non avevo mai creato dei prodotti con i miei design prima, perciò trovare quali prodotti realizzare è stata essa stessa un’avventura.</span></h5>
<p>Lavorare sul modo in cui stampare, come avrebbero funzionato i prezzi  e quali prodotti scegliere, ha richiesto molta ricerca, qualche tentativo e un po’ di errori.</p>
<p>Ne sono uscita con una selezione iniziale di borse e tovagliette da the di cui sono molto felice e ho in programma di aggiungere presto alla serie anche tazze, cuscini e penne – quindi <strong>l’avventura continua</strong>!</p>

<span class='postTabs_titles'><b>Italiano</b></span>Qualche giorno fa, credo su Pinterest, ho visto questi <strong>collarini handmade serigrafati</strong>, e li ho subito salvati tra i preferiti per condividerli qui (nel caso non conosceste già <a title="ZIB Textile Shop on Etsy" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ZIBtextile" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.etsy.com/shop/ZIBtextile?referer=');">ZIB Textile</a> ).</p>

<p>Woooo! Oggi è stata una giornata difficile, il browser aveva deciso di smettere di funzionare e il pc non collaborava.</p>
<p>Ora finalmente riesco a  pubblicare i picks settimanali dal gruppo&#8230; fiùùùù.</p>
<p>Vi piace il tema della settimana? <strong>Animali</strong>!<br />
Io personalmente amo quando ci si ispira a loro nei lavori creativi ed artistici :)</p>

<span class='postTabs_titles'><b>Italiano</b></span>Ho appena trovato un blog carinissimo e questo <a title="DIY tutorial per creare un fiocco/fifì di carta con gli origami - perfetto per il packaging" href="http://www.bloomize.com/couture-paper-bow-ties/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.bloomize.com/couture-paper-bow-ties/?referer=');">tutorial Do It Yourself</a>, e immediatamente ho avuto un sacco di idee per delle <strong>originali soluzioni di packaging</strong>!</p>
<p>In genere non sono una grande appassionata degli origami, ma penso che questi <strong>fiocchi/fifì di carta </strong>siano stupendi per creare un packaging particolare e per sviluppare molte nuove idee.</p>
<p>Perfetto poi per il nostro &#8220;stile handmade&#8221;!</p>
