Stay Inspired

I have recently traveled through a few provinces in South Africa and came to the conclusion that it is possible to find inspiration in any environment.  It doesn't matter if the inspiration exist in a different medium or outcome - what matters is the idea received from your surroundings.

My first stop was Cape Town from the 30th of March to the 1st of April in order to attend the Toffie Pop Culture Festival and Conference of 2012.  Most of the design teams were inspiring and brought innovative and creative ideas to the table - and sometimes also to the floor, but I must give credit to all the exhibitors.  The way in which they presented the variety of products, fashion items and food were truely unique.  Each of the above mentioned were regarded as a designer's item.

I found myself excited and inspired to take on new projects - especially using more textiles and developing my own up-cycling skills.  Covering simple objects, like buttons, garments and shoes with different colours and texture fabric.  Each idea hold the treasure of becoming a unique up-cycled fashion or style item.  For more inspiration and photography, please visit my Facebook page Uptide

Remember to stay inspired with confidence consciously!
