Grafitti/ Inspiration/ New Design

Hello my lovelies,

I have always found Graffiti beautiful, not those horrible tags you find in grim alleys and on railway lines, no I mean the big colourful kind with images and words that make you think. Maybe this is because one of my favourite places is East London where there are many such pieces. These are some of my favourites:

and the other side

Lets Adore and Endure Each Other

Although all the above have always been favourites of mine, this Adore and Endure piece has really being playing on my mind lately. I loved it from when I first saw it many years ago. Now with the recent horrors of the shootings in Paris and the out pouring emotions from both sides this piece of graffiti art has really been in my thoughts. I have also loved this banner from Rachel Ashwell for a long time:

Endurance banner

and these last two images inspired me to create my own banner. In pure simple white linen with silver stitching tracing my own hand writing I made Adore & Endure.

I hope you found where some of my inspirations come from interesting.

Peace and Love

Happy New Year

So another year rolls around. It's cold and wet. Not much to look forward to for a while. So for me it is all about taking joy in the small things like fresh flowers.

Hope you get to enjoy beautiful things too,
