By now you probably know I have a passion for textiles and fabric. I love dissecting interesting fabric and playing with new materials to create my own designs. Playing is so important in art and design.
During the Inspired Design conference Andrew Wagner, editor-in-chief of American Craft magazine, discussed the innovative fabric work by Dutch designer Eugene Van Veldhoven. His fabric designs are created through coating, embossing, needle punch, laser cut, ultrasonic welding, pleating, relief printing, and more. For example, the first fabric is constructed of glass beads - can you even imagine?! The resulting fabrics are amazing and very dissect-worthy.
I believe these textures and images are inspiring, even if you aren't a fabric

Loving all this texture! These are fabulous and they make me want to rub my face in them (which makes me know that they are awesome fabrics).
these textiles look gorgeous! as much as i love organic, natural fibers (cotton, silk, cashmere) for everyday wear, i love looking at innovation in fabrics.
I LOVE these! I know, I just want to touch them. Can you imagine how much fun it would be to create something with them?
Wow! Especially loving those last two fabrics!
