I came across this quote on A Well Traveled Woman last week and kind of got schooled in 30 seconds, it was that strong to me. I thought I’d share it here, along with this weird gif animation I made. Oh, and if you’re not following A Well Traveled Woman already, please please do!
The last time I shared some scans was of the book Rock Faces and time sure goes by cos that was more than a year ago! And you guessed it right, new scanssss coming right up.
I finished Patterns by Orla Kiely yesterday and scanned A LOT of the book. It’s a very simple read about her career, her way of working and her brand, basically. Although I don’t identify that strongly with her brand’s aesthetic, there’s still so much to love about her work and her consistency. Plus it looks deceptively easy to make a pattern but we all know, the simplest designs are the hardest to achieve. I do want to quote something she said in the afterword, “Increasingly, I find myself considering the consequences and impact of producing products for an already cluttered world. My hope is that I am always associated with products that will be valued, cherished and not discarded.”
Now scroll away! The details are on Flickr so click on the images to find out more.
It would be nice to drink from this mug, don’t you think? I just can’t deal with costly international shipping.
Yayyy! New phone means no more dealing with my unresponsive iPhone3G!
I am dead pooped, off to shower and plop into bed. Be back tomorrow my friends!
I’m thrilled to have Nicole’s shop, Uniiko Vintage, as one of our sponsors for the month! Uniiko Vintage has a delightful new shopfront and some great blazers in store right now. If that isn’t up your alley, you could swing by Nicole’s Thrift Store instead. She’s got real love for her fashion (and living life) so you might want to check her blog too, it’s a good read.
