etc.

Today’s inspiration grid brings together colours, shapes, and designs that resonate with me. A lot of the images are of things in my surroundings that I looked twice at this past week. L-R, from top-left:

• blue squares on a shopping bag
• “Hiruzen”, Alexander Henry fabric (4 yards scored off eBay for so cheap it would make you blush!)
• scattered buttons — there’s something about the shape and design of a button that has always appealed to me.
• colander — some sort of marvel of modern design, plus it helps that this one has a reflective surface (I really don’t want to know what it says about me that I am helplessly drawn to reflective surfaces).
• collage — cover of a journal I made two years ago.
• branches — I caught myself staring at these branches outside our kitchen window three evenings in a row last week. This picture was taken around 8pm. I really liked how the sunset bounced off the horizon, illuminating the evening sky.
• croton plant leaf
• rice
