Yesterday I discovered minä perhonen on Lena Corwin's blog. Wow. So much inspiration on that site. I'm absolutely in love with every single garment. The fabric is just wonderful. Last night I got out a little notebook and started sketching some ideas that popped into my head after perusing all the lovely images on that website. I'm thinking of adding some hand embroidery to garments I make for myself. Nothing too elaborate. I'm still thinking about what I really want to do. I'd love to screen print some small geometric designs on fabric as well. Hmm...I suppose it's all just a jumbled mess in my head. As per usual. :) Hope everyone is having a lovely week. Here are a few pictures I took this week.
Firstly: your photographs are GORGEOUS!!! I've been so inspired lately by the ones you've posted on Flickr. You are so talented!!
ReplyDeleteI simply adore Mina Perhonen's design aesthetic... can't wait to see what comes of your inspired sketches!!
Aw, thank you, Casey! You're always so encouraging. I don't know too much about photography, but I'm trying to get better! My brother has a nicer camera than I do. Might have to see if I can "play" with it a bit... My problem is that there's really not a lot of fun and inspiring images to capture around here.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping I really will make myself some time to create a few of those sketches I drew out the other night. But I'm really excited to do a bit of embroidery. And I'm also excited about some of the color combinations I'm thinking up. Of course I'll change my mind at the last minute as I usually seem to do... ;-)
