Create your own patterns by combining stripes and prints with fruits and vegetables. The inspiration comes from textile patterns such as ‘ANNIKEN’ by Ida Petterson Preutz and ‘RANDIG BANAN’ by Inez Svensson.
Here’s how it works
Together with artist Ebba, we create stripes and backgrounds using rollers, masking tape, and textile paint to design wide, narrow, or diagonal stripes in colors of your choice. Then, we add fruit and vegetable prints by dipping sliced fruits and vegetables into textile paint and stamping them over the stripes. For an extra personal touch, you can carve a shape into a potato and use it as a stamp. The result is a playful and unique pattern.
