Ribbons by Pony Rider

Huge reels of striped ribbon are used on this lovely textile pattern by Australian based Pony Rider. 

Pony Rider is about celebrating the beauty in the ordinary everyday things biting into an overripe plum and in need of a soft tea towel cracking the top of a creme brulee with a hand printed napkin in your lap wrapping a pot of freshly brewed tea in a tea towel to stay warm curling up on cushions on the lounge to read the weekend papers using the 'good' linen for the everyday. More lovely hand screen printed textiles available here.
