Things currently inspiring me:

Hey! So I have recently acquired some images that I am putting in my 'inspiration' folder on my laptop, and I thought I would share some of the things that keep me moving forward creatively!

I just love anything knitted that shouldn't be - currently I am working towards creating knitted armor as part of my degree.

This waterslide inspired a poem I wrote, about a heavy heart - I have discovered writing poetry is a beautiful way in which I can vent my emotions, and by the end of one, find I am calm again.

I just love the colours in this image! I think I may use it as inspiration for my next colour palate I need...

And this image I recently found on Tumblr, and it just looks awesome - I want to try and re-create it for some of my friends, using images of them etc.

So right now I am very much inspired to do things that I shouldn't, especially because I have a 2,500 word essay that needs attention asap. I cannot wait for my inter-semester break so that I can work on some of these things!! :D

Have a lovely day - the sun is shining here!

Knitting!!!

These are a few samples I whipped up one afternoon at uni, as part of my 'Outside the Box' assignment.

My colour palate is inspired by Katie-Maree Cole's collection, 'Bonnie, Be Good.'

The fair-isle patterning is inspired by the previous part of the project, where I used microbiology, bacteria, and agar plates to develop textures and patterns.

These samples were knitted on the Shima Seiki that we are learning to use - so much fun!

I am currently basking in the sun that has shown itself from behind the greedy clouds, between the hungry rain showers that have been consuming Auckland City. I am feeling thoroughly inspired to write my essay on the controversial fashion advertising of the brand Benetton, by the photographer Oliviero Toscani, after a good research stint into their campaigns.

I am also contemplating whether I will participate in my flat-mate's presenting assignment, where they require me to go onto their 'show' live, and show a short demonstration of how to DIY a small stuffed owl - one of the ones I have started to make many of. I am not the most confident public speaker, so I am unsure if I am ready to do this.
