Who'd have thought curtains could be so inspiring?!

I included this photo in a previous post which has recently inspired some design work. Yeah I know, slightly going off the subject of the blazer I'm painting (which I'll upload more photo's of soon!) I'm just doodling some garment designs in between. Its just that I was browsing through my photo folder and the way this veil-like curtain draped across the window in 'fairytale land' made me want to pick up my pencil!

You really can find inspiration in anything!

I also took this photo (below)while out and about in Margam Park which is literally up the road from where I live. I edited the colours slightly and I'm not exactly sure what it's supposed to be.. It was hanging from the ceiling of an old hut and I thought hmmm... one for the album...

I'm really envisioning a rough textured, wild, forest-like dress. Maybe in an emerald/olive tone? with hints of lavender..? Better get to work then, these stitches aren't gonna stitch themselves!
