Because every politician should be proud of their inner goblins, not hide them away!
Anyway, my wonderful sis may not be running for office (more like running well away from any office!), but if you get a chance please vote for her in the Etsy Design face-off.
You can see the contest info here!
(Deadline is this Sunday, 23rd March)

Seven random things
To the lovely people who have tagged me: Sneddonia, Heidi, Jenna Appleton, and Katrina
1. I enjoy washing clothes. I find satisfaction in reaching the bottom of the laundry basket, and seeing colour-coordinated clothes hanging on the line.
2. My favourite composer is Sibelius. His music is filled with feelings from my history.
3. I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one to choose accordion music as the track for a fashion show. Probably not.
4. I have numbered my random things because I easily lose track. I can't knit patterns with more than 2 stitches, and I once completely forgot how to purl, two stitches after I'd purled.
5. I don't make fashion, I make clothes. There's a big difference to me. Same with art photos and happysnaps. I make things that make me happy.
6. My previous studies included maths and computing, but I was pretty terrible at art. I love writing code but can't get my head around html. I had a 7 year gap year before my fashion degree.
7. I am bored with talking about me :D I'd love to hear a random thing about yourself instead.
7.5 I tend to break rules, sorry! :D

Inspiration and design
Portishead - Only you
One of my all time favourite songs, and filmmaking. In some ways it embodies the project I'm trying to work on. The sense of leadenness, the movement of floating. Haunting, longing and loss.
I've been watching it over and over whilst I design, but however I try I can't capture my ideas in a static, drawn form. They lose the ethereality. I hope I can regain that when the clothes are made, as I've tried before.
