Well having finally got some more work done I have finally got the "tokyo dreams" bit working so i have no more broken links! woo hoo!

so what do you think? (link is in my signature)

I still think its over complicated but i need to have a seperate gallery and shop bit and cant think of how to simplify it

ps i did it all myself from scratch so if you spot any spelling mistakes please let me know

I love your bangles and laminated stamp bracelets.
Ive recently bought a laminator, but dont worry, im not copying your fab ideas(no matter how much I want to).

[Emma Farnworth]

thanks a lot :D

Trying to find inspiration for a new range at the mo but should probably be concentrating on getting things made for a market i'm doing a week on saturday!

Where do you look for inspiration?

[Emma Farnworth]

japan normally! I have quite a big obsession with the place and would really love to go some day! Its got such a rich visual culture both past and present.

I used to spend a lot of time in the library in the photography section, I like pretty books with nice big images!

Oh, Ive been through a Japanese phase.I even tried to teach myself how to speak it.

Konnichi wa, Onamawa nan toshimas ka?Seahorse tomoshimas.
Hajimimashte, dozo yuroshku.
etc, Im sure the spelling is appalling.

Anyhoo, Japan is so amazing re decoration.Have you been to the V&A museum, I think its a chinese exhibition but Im sure it would inspire you and you can buy postcards of details.

My friends want to go there one day too.Im hoping to whimper like a lost puppy and they will invite me to go with them.

Il try and think of where else you can have a looksee.

I love the v&a, they where still refurb-ing when i was there in the summer :(

[Seahorse]

I went there last year to look specifically at the old crinoline dresses/sparkly old gowns, got there and they were refurbishing that section so there was nothing to see!!
Im hopefully going to the Leonardo Da vinci exhibition which I think starts around now!!Ooh, I must check on that.

All I can think of for inspiration are films but then thy are Chinese.The Last Emperor was fantastic, we watched it in fashion college, I think thats where my obsession started.
Memoirs of a Geisha, isnt that Japanese?
