#Mood board template 2019 how to

We did make a Fiddle Leaf Fig Cheeseboard this year as a limited design, so it's fair to say this inspiration made it's way into my work last year.

Since buying my own home I've been aware of a desire to garden more, and to actually keep my house plants alive instead of just replacing them with newer, greener ones like I used to (so embarrassing to say that out loud.) I think those personal elements combined with the greenery trend made a big impression on my 2018 moodboard. My mom has always been a gardener and I grew up spending a lot of time around plants. I haven't been able to shake this fascination and expect to see more painting and pattern designing in my 2019.įoliage and leaves are trending in decor and I got the memo.

That project got me thinking about pattern design and how to incorporate my aesthetic into a product that wasn't ceramic. It all started with the label I painted for our seasonal candle released initially in Fall 2017. I started painting again last year, informally but with more purpose than I have in years. That's exactly where I am today on the first day of 2019, magazines at the ready to start clipping out that inspiration! Sure, I have general ideas of where my next year of work is heading, but I really need a little down time to work it out visually. As a small studio, we're all heads down working in a blur through the holidays and I'm still too in it to start purposefully reflecting on my inspiration for the next year until after Christmas.

It's kinda like my Pinterest boards but in real life.Īt this point I'm already weeks into working on my first two one-of-a-kind collections for 2019 (I'm changing the way we restock here on the site and will have more details about these collections later this month!) so it may surprise you to read that I haven't yet visually mapped out my inspiration boards for the new year. I like to start each year by making a fresh moodboard to reflect what's currently inspiring me. Having inspirational visuals in my workspace provides direction and reassurance when I'm designing and it's a big part of my artistic process.
