What a great day it has been and so...well, relevant to what im supposed to be doing!
After a last minute scuffle, i went along to a Style & Trends presentation today in Inverness. Provided free of charge by the HIE we got a colour trend workshop for Spring/Summer 2012. Then in the afternoon we got to rake through a big pile of threads, fabric, paper, stuff to create some mood boards. It was playtime!
It was so good to be among creative textile people again. It was the kind of thing i did at art school and took for granted, even the latest fashion trends and colours i had been completely out of touch from them, it was nice for my brain to click back into that way of thinking, seeing and translating.
I was a bit apprehensive about going as 'my work' has progressed zilch since graduating and trying to network with no solid background doesn't really give me much confidence but there were other people there who felt similar and also were there for a well needed kick start.
Here is one of my quick mood boards, its not exactly top notch reference but i had fun doing it, just getting covered in glue and thread AND not having to tidy up the mess afterwards was a bonus!
