Travelling Inspiration....

Last month I visited Bali for the first time and I fell in love with it...everywhere you turn there's splashes of fluorescent colour, baubles, bells, gold trinkets, multi coloured fruit stalls...infact anywhere i go in South East Asia i fall in love with the patterns and vibrant colours. It serves up a large portion of my inspiration when designing...I always end up lugging home multiple ceramic goods and fabrics! a sample of my latest hoard...

I wish i could have bought every one onf these in Thailand.....

So I got to thinking about all these colours and trinkets and I got inspired tonight to try and 'jazz' up a plain $5 k-mart lamp SE asian style...a little rough around the edges but hey!

 some trinkets i picked up in Legian, Bali...$1.50 each!

Now all i need is a light bulb!!!

Has anyone else travelled somewhere really inspiring recently? I'm always keen to visit new places!

Speak soon,
