On long walks with my dog, I am constantly filling my pockets with all kinds of little things that grab my attention along the way. I find the interesting shapes and textures of random bits and pieces, both natural and man made, to be inspiring and often sparking a creative idea.
Inspired by the flickr group 'organized collection', and as a loose continuation of ideas from my last years research project, I have decided to record these little trinkets as a weekly project to inform new pattern inspiration.
Each week, from now to the end of the year, I will organise and group these finds and photograph the arrangement. Throughout the week, I will draw from this arrangement, working with mixed media; including collage, drawing, digital manipulation etc, to develop pattern suitable for printed fabric.
I am hoping this challenge will keep me inspired throughout the year and it will be interesting to see how the arrangements vary along the way.

Wow, that is lovely. Who would have known those things would look so good together (you I guess). I am looking forward to the creativity they inspire.
