Design Inspiration

  

A Passion for Design

Strange as it may seem....

over the past few years I have collected ribbons, buttons, coloured paper,

invitations, magazine clippings, books on fashion and interior design.

I make scrapbooks, my own artwork and homemade cards.

All of these creative little hobbies are good for the soul!

What's your hobby?

Creative Colour

 

 Colour inspires me to create and design

It excites and inspires me to try out new ideas

and test new boundaries mixing colour, pattern, prints and textures.

My design studio is bursting with colour :-

Derwent pencils, paint chips and fabric swatches.

Colour is such a personal experience.

Everybody has their own special colour :-
mine has to pink  even though I love every colour in the rainbow!

Getting Creative

 

 

I have just put the finishing touches on a very special room in our house.
I now have a room dedicated to my hobbies, creative projects and blogging!
It's pink, white and beige and .... oh so very girly!
There's a pinboard, fashion illustrations, a white desk like the one above
and a shelving unit full of beautiful design books, perfumes, candles, flowers,
boxes with crafty stuff, fashion magazines and design inspiration.
It's beautiful space with velvet striped cushions
sitting elegantly on a chaise.
Today the light was streaming through the window and
I was thinking I was a very lucky person indeed!

Collect and Create

 

 Collect and create

  

Collect things that inspire you.

Surround yourself with objects, books and art you love.

Having things around me I love has always been a great inspiration
for upcoming projects.

Follow your heart, follow your interest, pursue your passions.

Bowerbird

- A Passion for Collecting -

I'm a bowerbird of all things beautiful :-

I collect everything pretty from paint chips, to colour swatches, cards, ribbons,

stationary, wrapping paper, magazine clippings, shopping bags, invitations, business cards

Anything that catches my eye or take my fancy. 

I keep them in pretty boxes or add them to my pinboard.
