more creative inspiration

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

if there’s one motif i keep coming back to in my creations, in drawings and random doodles, in my photography, even in the next tattoo i’m planning to get, it’s flowers. to me, flowers are so inspiring because there is such an endless variation of colours, textures, sizes and shapes to admire.

for this next inspiration palette, i thought i’d show you some of my favourite floral pieces by other creative people, so, here’s creative inspiration palette 02: floral designs

how to make felt

Friday, April 11th, 2008

part of the felt making process
i’ve had a lot of people ask me how i make felt, so last time i made some i took photos of the process and i have used them to made a step by step tutorial. rather than put them all in an image-heavy update, i have put the tutorial up as a flickr set right HERE.
you will find complete instructions and explanatory images so you can make gorgeous felt of your own.
have fun!
