more inspiration

November 22, 2011 by Birdbrain 3 Comments

 

These books are by my bed and I am soaking in their inspiration. I remember Vera from the sixties, and wish I had kept the scarves I so loved then for their bright graphics. Orla Kiely is a new discovery. The watercoours of her work are lovely. I plan to do a small watercolour on the tag of each bag for my show this weekend. I am going full steam to get everything done but want to make time for this. Fingers crossed.

At bottom is a shot of colour from the studio.

    Why, oh why, couldn’t you just live a town or two over from me? It would be so much fun, and I would be able to come to your open house this weekend and drool over all of the lovelies.
    Good luck! 🙂

    I wish you did too. I miss you! Thank you for the lovely comments.

    Maybe we can meet in TO at the textile museum before long. Maybe Wendie would like to come too?

    talk soon

    i have just spent several hours looking at your beautiful creations. My PC is about to explode from exhaustion– so much to see.
    I am wondering where your Christmas shows are– any in the county- i missed makers hand.
    or belleville.

    Your husband was a friend of my Dad, Willis Metcalfe, They spent a lot of good times together talking of ships.
    Hope to hear from you, looking forward to wearing the bird.
