Balticly Beautiful

I have been travelling a little over the past three weeks, in the beautiful and very green lands of Sweden. Whilst there I discovered some beautiful places, in particular a beach made from granite off the coast of the Baltic sea. This place really stole my heart, and I felt like I had found the end of the world. Whilst there I took photographs of the lines and crevices made by the water through the granite, which I will use for a new series of rings I have been mulling over since visiting the beach. Here are a few of my favourite journeying lines- and it also worth mentioning there was lots of my favourite (Grey!)

During my visit, we descovered these delicate little (abandoned) wasps nest in some outbuildings, which I found mesmorising. The surface of these nests were incredibly thin, like a lace, and when the light shone through them, they were simply stunning. I imagined them as pieces of jewellery and took a few quick photos to note down some ideas before I begin drawing different possibilities out now back home. These houses made by wasps blew my mind, and I couldnt help but be amazed at how the sturcutre of the nest came into being. Nature truely is wonderful.

circles have been a continuous source of inspiration for me for as long as I can remember, and on recent adventures I have encountered different kinds of circular forms. Alongside these, Iam still continuing to develop my love affair with greys, and the above charcoaled surface of a boat, with this beautiful gold crackled stripe has been on my mind a lot. I hope this will weave its way into some new things I have been working on.

I fell in love with grey a long time ago, its cool mysterious sophistication is often effortless, timeless and captivating. Not only does grey reflect other hues within itself but has many guises, and there isnt one I have ever found that I dislike. It can be worn with almost anything, I particularly like it with Yellow.

 There is a Japanese saying: '48 browns, 100 greys', go out into the world and find them, collect them and treasure their mystery.

Nothing but Navy

I found these beautiful geometric creations on Nothing But Navy and Instantly found their worn blueness charming.
