Bonkers

Its all hands on deck full steam computers ahead and final designs are starting to emerge.... they are a little bit scary!!!

Having spent a week or more colouring in digital images  - trying to establish a colour palatte that matches my original mood board I've come up with 15 shades based on 5 colours and while I personally think my mood board was almost sophisticated my designs are coming out completely bonkers!!!


This is not entirely unintentional, my concept was to use traditional quaint porcelain posh ornaments as seen in the Bowes Museum collection and transform them into funky, naive, contemporary designs and that's pretty much what I have done!

The colour palate however has got very vibrant - very primary - gaudy to say the least - but I got to the point when I thought if I want bonkers designs and gloriousness then there are no half measures. Its a slamitin Ruby style again!!


I've done some market research and find that my work could well sit (colourwise) comfortably in some of the most famous collections of scarves from Hermes though to Lacroix so obviously wild colours are in.

Scotland part 2

The second half of the week continued in much the same vein.  We had one rainy afternoon which was actually quite nice to be holed up in the house with the rain lashing the windows.  It probably wasn't quite so nice for the two visitors that came on their bikes but they're tough cookies - and its only water- but I did feel sorry for them having to cycle six miles back down the track in the wind and rain, but given Scotland,  it wasn't as bad as it could be.

Funchal

So after three days at sea we finally hit Funchal in Madeira.  An escape from the ship, and I have to say it was very pleasant indeed.  First of all the weather is really splendid.  Especially when you know that everybody else in the UK is suffering grim storms and vile winds..  Over here it is between 22 and 25 degrees is really quite warm.    Funchal is a pretty city. It's built on a hill it with lots of lovely white houses with stunning red roofs.   In order to get the best of it we walked along the sea front until we got to the cable car and we took it up the hill.  It was a really good ride much longer than we imagined and it's quite weird because it goes right through the town -  completely over everybody's house...  So not only do you get a lovely vista of the bay but you can view the beautiful rooftops and get to look in everybody's gardens and to look at their picnic sets.. clean washing nice plants... scratty backyards.... We got off th
