Vivienne Westwood inspired sketchbook pages today. Not as fussy or extended as the previous works, more a Vivienne Westwood ''edges'' inspired spread. I have always had a thing about edges, finishes, fastenings and this lady I would say has that skill pretty much perfected, well definitely perfected actually. All the images in this book are of finished garments, finished shoes, bags etc but I was constantly gazing at the finishing. The zips, the studs, the ragged edges, the loose threads. I have tried to capture a tiny part of that here and although I would definitely say that my work is the total opposite of hers both in skill and finish I am certain that these little doodles will influence my edges at some point.
This post will probably be the last sketchbook inspired story for a little while. I am conscious that this is an embroidery blog and my fingers are conscious that I haven't done any of that for a while. I am not going to consign the sketchbook to history though, my plan is to try and figure out how to create a ''sketchbook'' section on here and add to it from time to time, As for the embroidery, not sure really. I have a hankering to work on my throw yet I also have a hankering to do more of the little sample from my last design sheet. I think I may put the kettle on, take some time in my quiet house, (everyone else is out) and spend some peacefull thinking time.
Tomorrow I answer e-mails.....promise...
