2018 Color Trends

Yearly Color Trends – Love them? Follow them?

“Each season the team at the Pantone Color Institute creates the PANTONE Fashion Color Trend Report; a color overview highlighting the top colors fashion designers showing at London Fashion Week will be featuring in their collections for the upcoming season.” – FASHION COLOR TREND REPORT

I enjoy the yearly color trends and use them as inspiration for new color combinations. The yearly Pantone report informs the design community of new colors for fashion, interior design as well as for other artists and designers. The new colors inspire me to break out of my usual routine and try something new.

Color is very personal, and everyone should go with what they like (dare I say love!) and gravitate toward. Choosing the “in” color can also be great, especially when you like the “in” color, as I often do!

Of course, there is something for everyone. For a handwoven rug or table runner go with what makes you happy inside. Then you know you’ll always love it!

5 Ways Handwoven Rugs Are Sustainable

Regina Design weaves Earth Day

With the 50th anniversary of Earth Day fast approaching in 2020, Earth Day Network is launching a series of major campaigns to catalyze and channel global collaboration for the health of our planet. Buying a handwoven, sustainably sourced rug from me qualifies as an act of green!

Here are five ways buying a handwoven rug supports the Earth…

Regina Design weaves Earth Day naturally1. Wool is renewable

Wool comes from sheep and, just like our hair, the wool fiber grows back every time. Some breeds, such as Churro, are shorn twice a year otherwise the fiber will get too long and heavy. Remember the lost sheep found in Australia carrying over 90 pounds of wool? 
 

2. Wool fiber is strong and will last a long time

People tell me they are concerned about walking on my rugs. Rugs have been woven with strong, durable wool for centuries. That’s the reason I use wool for my rugs. A wool rug you buy today will last for generations.
 

3. Biodegradable and recyclable

When, generations from now, your descendants need to replace their Regina Design wool rug, they can use it for insulation or add it to compost. The fibers will decompose into fertilizer and return to the Earth in a renewable form.
 

4. Locally sourced materials

I buy wool from a family owned business Weaving Southwest who have been serving their community for three decades. That business in turn supports the community of sheep ranches, fiber mills and local businesses in their area. 
 

5. Support a local artist, support a community

Coming to my studio gives you access to one-of-a-kind handwoven rugs that you won’t find anywhere else. You will be supporting me and I use sustainable practices to create my art and participate in Studio Channel Islands Art Center, an artists cooperative.
