A while back I was exploring what I learned in Design school and how it can be applied to life. I have a new found desire to complete all this ideas I have been holding on to and let them finally be completed and let out in to the world - or discarded if that is their fate.

These are the 7 principals of Interior Alchemy and their relationship to the Architectre and Interior Design process.

There is a process called PROGRAMMING where you learn everything you can about your project. How many? How much space? What do you want to accomplish? What are the requirements?  what is the deadline? Budget? Preferences?

In life this is the foundations of SELF-DISCOVERY.

Do it All Again

September 03, 2017 in bookshelf, imagination

1// SOME THINGS (take time)

musings on kindly guiding yourself back to your vision:

I took this pic almost 3 years ago. It's a blurry pic, but here's the story.... We were in Tasmania as part of a 6 month road trip - J was touring his music, similar to what we are doing now.

While traveling my idea machine goes into full drive... IMAGINATION is one of my favourite dwelling places + this pic was me putting one of the ideas into action. This was was my desk for the day - a bench at a campsite that was being warmed by the sun on a chilly morning in Tasmania.

i decided i would create a series of little collages to illustrate a song J + I sing for Z, it is based on our early days as a family of 3 (but it all still applies).

I made these collages mostly in the front seat of the troop carrier with piles of scraps at my feet. (some things don't change, haha)

the collages are glued to used cereal + granola bar boxes that i ripped down to size.

It was meant to be a quick easy project...

2// This is a picture of one of the final drafts of collage with text/ lyrics in place.

After some back + forth, making a simple concept more complicated... I shelved this project. But it was always on my to do list to complete it.

Life happened... new ideas + new projects.

I continued to gently guide myself back...

3// walk with me to the ocean shore

put on the shoes we left at the door

salt in the air + sand at our feet

stop + chat with the people that we meet.
