Inspirations
Inspirations are an ongoing topic here on Sashay. Whenever I'm interviewed or asked to discuss my work, the topic of inspiration always comes up. I think that one of the many mysteries or marvels in the world is how creativity comes to be. Often it's catching a glimpse here and there of something, anything but other times one has to go looking for inspiration.
I'm currently working on a top secret, ultra hush hush project. Not saying what it is is practically killing me. I'm not good with keeping secrets. I mean I'm REALLY terrible but I'm also superstitious. I promise though, I won't keep this to myself for much longer.. just a bit.
However, because I am terrible at keeping secrets, I'm letting you in on some of my inspirations. I've collected these for some time but it's amazing to be able to gel them all together. I will say that I'm looking at pattern, texture and colour combinations. This is seriously like crack for me. I live for this stuff. I lie awake at night dreaming up combinations, I can't walk outside without being inundated with inspiration. I am so fortunate to be able to spend my days absorbing all of this and then creating rooms, spaces, objects that reflect what moved me.
Classic Triad colour scheme of red, blue & yellow. However, when you say red, blue & yellow it sounds so... Kindergarten. If you say Bayberry, Peacock & Mustard it starts to get better immediately yes? I adore the variation on these hues in the agate in the top left corner. How the blue fades to periwinkle. These variations make me go weak in the knees.
I'm a redhead. I look great in greens & blues. I'm drawn to them. They are always my favourite accent when I wear a neutral. The same extends to my decorating. It's my way of being close to water always I think. Soothes me.
This is my current scheme in my own home. You'll be getting a very good glimpse of this soon enough. I have loved this palette for years... it's perfection to me.
Just an idea...
That got a bit bigger...
And then there's this... Stay Tuned!!!
