Keeping your eyes open is a way to find and gather inspiration for creative projects. It can be as simple as going for a walk and being observant of your surroundings. Take note of what catches your attention and what details your eye is drawn to. Nature and photography kickstart my creative process in hat making. For you, it might involve grabbing some paper and coloured markers to doodle and practice with colours and patterns. Who knows how a casual doodle might blossom?
Interesting colours, textures, shapes, and patterns are abundant in everyday life. From an idea, I like to zero in on fabric and yarn stores and relevant websites to research options and take me to the next level of making. Matching materials to design is fun. It’s gratifying to go from a concept to a unique and wonderful product made with my own hands.
