vintage kimono textiles

A new batch of vintage kimono cards for a custom order. I really liked the way they looked all together this morning so thought I'd show you. Old kimono fabric is so gorgeous in terms of colour palette and pattern, don't you think?

kimono cards for Readings

The kimono fabric comes from Kyoto and here are some of my favourites:

They'll be available along with a range of my hand printed woodblock cards in Readings, Carlton late next week. That's in Melbourne in case you were wondering.....
