| Mood Wallage!!!!! |
The expansion from the last collection has taken me on a crazy journey, through classes with Julian Roberts at Massey Uni with The Cutting Circle http://thecuttingcircle.com/ which was an amazing opportunity I was excited to be part of. But also exploration of my personal capabilities in risk taking and freedom of design. I'm still at the beginning of this process of collection design but I am looking forward to the exciting possibilities this freedom and risk will find. Exploration is key.
This mood wall contains

this is where i begin, now its time to explore and create mistakes if necessary, take risks, have freedom of choice, drive myself crazy with questions that sometimes have no answears, find solutions for problems

Sustainable Fashion & Textiles - Design Journeys, Kate Fletcher http://www.katefletcher.com/
There are so many more excellent books out there on this subject, these 2 are among the best in my opinion, if the subject interests you then these are 2 very good starting points, but also good to have on hand as referral items.
I plan to start with a few experiments and evolve from there, I am looking at interesting ways of utilising what i have already in the way of waste materials. But also not limiting myself to just those and incorporating, if they compliment, fabrics from my storeroom.
Thats where i'm at!!!!!! Get to it!!!!!!
Peace!!!
