inspiration.


this is the reason i love flicking through random magazines, i found this 'kniting clock'
designed by Siren Elise Wilhelmsen and i have fallen in love. the idea is beautiful and
represents time in such an exquisite yet unusual way. knitting a 2 metre scarf over a
year, the thread reel represents how much of the year is left.

if your interested as to how it works i suggest you visit this website... 

Line.

in the second week, we concentrated on the idea of 'line' and we created lines out of
varying medias, although there were strict guidelines. we then created 'clusters', these
are supposed to make up a 'line' dictionary, which can be used when thinking about
patterns and designs.

London.

the past couple of weeks have been so fast paced I'm just beginning to catch up. we have been in the studio most days, working on simple drawing techniques, and looking at the idea of 'line' being vital in design. In the first week we were told to go to London and just have a wonder, whilst photographing down for 'surface' and up for 'structure'.


Covent Garden and Kurt Geiger, always a good place to start.


V&A
i loved this glass structure in the entrance.




wondering through anthropologie is just breath-taking. its a jumble of anything and everything, displayed beautifully on various reclaimed surfaces. the living wall just brought the whole shop to life and would have been great research during my final project on art foundation. in the past week i have learnt that research can really be anything, a piece of paper found on the floor, photography.. as long as it is in someway relevant. having a diary of research is great too.. you can just paperclip bits in, write some notes and just use it as a tool within your design process.
