W+P+P by Sarina Mantle
KNITSONIK is thrilled to be able to offer this stunning colouring book published by our local friends at Liminal 11.
Women + Patterns + Plants is a self-care colouring book by multidisciplinary artist, Sarina Mantle. Her stunning black-and-white illustrations celebrate women surrounded by leaves and flowers, in richly-patterned outfits and environments. Sarina says “there are three things which create a revolution in my heart: women, patterns & plants” and you can feel that all through the pages of this book.
For fans of the KNITSONIK system, the process of colouring in Sarina’s drawings helps us to consider more deeply the relationship between the everyday world in which we are immersed and the motifs we might create and incorporate into our knitwear. These empowering images are contextualised with poems and prompts to help connect colouring-in time with an intentional focus on self-care.
“Every bold line in this book is symbolic of your own strength and empowerment. So go fearlessly and pour yourself into each page. Enjoy your inward transformation of growth, blossoming and creativity”.
