Inspiration (part one)
Design Boards and sketch books I love them. I find it fascinating to see how the creative mind works and to see an idea go from inspiration to fruition. Visiting an artist’s studio and seeing what hangs on the walls. Or sometimes I take a gander at design blogs like the lovely Decor8 just to see how a decorator layers pattern, shape and color together to create a specific mood. I may have this obsession with inspiration boards as I currently do not have any real wall space in my studio so instead I have photographs, postcards and things I have picked up from various sources stuffed in folders and sketchbooks. Someday I will be able to find them a spot to hang and it will be a map of how my work is slowly evolving. Today with this in mind I wanted to share with you only some of what inspires me.
