Collecting designs and patterns

Often, a gorgeous pattern or design jumps out at me from a card, a brochure, or a magazine. I'm then inspired to use that pattern or design in one of my craft projects. So I'll either cut out the design or pattern, or copy it out onto a piece of blank white paper by drawing with a pencil. I have a special notebook in which I keep all the patterns and designs I've collected. Try doing the same and you'll probably find lots of inspiration for your future projects, everytime you look through your collection! :-) Here are some mehndi designs I copied from a wedding invitation. I used some of them on my last batch of decorated jars.
