372 flowers!
my current work has been highly influenced by all things floral!
i have driven most of my friends crazy by basing most of my designs around flowers! ....iv even been told that i love them so much that 'i will marry flowers' ......i don't quite understand that one!
any who....i'm not the only designer out there who uses flowers as inspiration, below are some catwalk models at the 2010 Dior show.
Their haute couture outfits resemble a spectrum of flowers from hydrangeas to carnations. even the models hair were tied in colourful cellophane to imitate bulbs.
iris!
parrot flower!
pansy!
poppy!

Istanbul.......
from my recent visit to Istanbul, i stumbled across a little home furnishing boutique round the corner to my hotel.
if i had the space in my luggage (and the money) i would have bought ALL the fabulous patchwork, mismatched cushions.
in Istanbul i stayed in an old town called Sultanahmet, a town full of thee most beautiful relics in every direction you look at.
above is the aya sofia mosque (hagia sophia) built by the emperor, Constantine the Great.
directly opposite the aya sofia sits tall with 4 towering minarets, the blue mosque.
as you enter the blue mosque, it becomes very apparent where it got the tittle 'blue' as thousands of blue tiles adourn the interior walls.
the grand bazaar (certainly GRAND) was breaming with thousands of hand crafted ceramics, glass mosaic lamps and silk kilims, beautiful enough to make anyone's toe curl!
