INSPIRATION

Inspiration is a term that is constantly used... in everyday life and especially with creative people. Myself as a Fashion student has to draw inspiration somewhere and seriously it comes from practically anything. The best place for me to find that "spark" would have to be nature. The world is so beautiful out there waiting for someone to admire its beauty. Its weird sometimes while walking something would catch my eye and i could be amazed by it. sometimes I would try and capture the moments and this is what i end up with. Bad quality i know.

The inspiration for my practical component was not nature related but more to do with what i do best. Last term in history class for my practical component I had to create a handbag, but it had to be hand stitched. I got the inspiration from my history assignment to create this handbag but definitely with alot more detail. this is the bag i made for my history assignment.

another point of sewing/ constructing a handbag is that sewing is something that defiantly runs in my family. well I have a huge family tree so let me just mention the fact that all four of my grannies has a knack for sewing (four grannies yes I'll elaborate on that next post). This was what i grew up with and well even though my mom does not sew at all, but she does have three sisters and a mother that does sewing. well she is the odd one out, well not that my mom does not have any creative talents, she knits really well and none of the three sisters are gifted in that area. so maybe not the odd one, really bad choice of words.

so I was raised in an environment filled with all these talented dress makers and suppose the inevitable happened, i wanted to do the things they do. This was brought on to me at a young age and yes during the course of my life I considered going into different fields of study one of them being an accounted, then phycology, and well my heart was always set on a more practical side of life. So today I will honour them and create my handbag with my family of creative people in mind.
