Starting to think back to journeys once more...
After flicking through enormous amounts of antique work and old vintage furniture, I realised I would like to incorporate these ideas and inspirations into my own textile work. After 'finding myself' a little more, I am now looking at types of 'Journeys' through travelling, and using images based on this idea. The mini was an iconic car built in the 1960's, one of the most memorable periods in modern history which I also find extremely inspiring and so I have chosen to use this as a hand drawn motif.
The compass motif below, has also developed out of the idea of using images from travel.
Going back in time...
Ships were the only way to transfer goods between countries, and therefore were an important means of travel. I wanted to look at compasses because they come from ships and so for me, compasses symbolise originality and beauty.
Following these thought processes my first designs have taken on a vintage style in hope of therefore continuing to put my own twist on original images which I love to look at so much.
