Why I've started this blog...

I'm currently studying part-time for an MA in Fashion and the Environment, specialising in textiles, at London College of Fashion. This blog is part of my Unit 1 submission - New Perspectives in Fashion - which I finish in March 2011. I've started this blog as a way of trying to organise my ideas, inspiration and designs. I'm making the blog and also keeping a paper sketch book, but I hope the blog will encourage me to collect inspirational images online rather than printing them out to stick in my sketch book, and save a bit of paper and ink! I'm not sure how the sketch book and blog will go together yet, but I hope they'll compliment each other. I also hope that by sharing my ideas and samples, other people will think about what sustainability means for textiles and offer me some ideas too!

Natural History Museum

I went to the Natural History Museum on the 9th January 2011 to investigate, through drawing, photographing, observing, and reading, the qualities of diamonds and precious stones. I thought if I could find out what makes these stones so eternally desirable then I could try and embed those qualities in my textiles to make them loved for longer.
