Exciting things...

This has been a good week, I had a meeting with Mel from Arthritis Care Scotland, she arranges amazing events and is such a breath of fresh air to the charity. She's got younger people involved in something that is generally thought of as an older persons illness. But she and others volunteering are raising awareness that it's younger people as well. This event that I'm getting organised in is to do with the perception of beauty, making girls that struggle with pain every day, they have the scars to bear from lots of operations.... And they ARE beautiful women! And like Mel said to me you can feel so "blah" as she's had knee and hip operations which have meant weight gain and feeling unattractive, but she is a beautiful vibrant girl doing a wonderful thing. I wont say what the event is it is under wraps but it will be fantastic and I'm proud to be part of it!

This is what I've been working on this week, and there is more to come in the next coming weeks!

And here's a few things that I want on my wishlist

Thats all for now bit I'll be posting more pictures of my creative processes later

This week...

This week I'm going to share a few things that have inspired me or been floating round my mind.

First of all, Alexander "the great" McQueens knuckle duster and matching clutch.... So beautiful, I noticed river island had a bag similar which o wish I snapped up! Skulls have popped up in fashion alot.... I'm not usually a huge fan of Damien Hirst but that diamond embellished skull he done was amazing even though a bit indulgent. Hmmm.

With a bit of Aubrey Beardsley for good measure!

This makes me want to get back on the screen printing again. I'd love to print some fabric using this blog as inspiration.

Then I've been eyeing up peoples granny curtains... I need to hunt for vintage florals... I have ideas of making full circle skirts and dresses for the summer

Last of all... I've been hunting all over to get my little mitts on wedges like these little baby's... My heart will not be complete until they are in my life
