BBrrrrrrr!!

Bleak mid winter prevails..although I have noticed that it is ever so slightly lighter in the morning, and this realisation brings about a small McFlurry of joy..at the prospect of lighter longer days, new shoots peeping through and maybe some more sunshine. On a deeper level it makes me think about our relationship with light, and how we are automatically drawn to light, and how we feel better in the light and so on, it is a very primal state of affairs, like our relationship with colour. We are not sure why we react to certain colours in the way in which we do..we just do. All the same, an important topic for interior designers to take on board.

Project work is continuing...although slowly, as I realise once again how long the creative stuff takes, and how disappointing it is when you have finished and it looks so amateurish. Guess this is all part of the 'creative process'. A little bit of book buying has taken place as I hope to extend my knowledge of the Bauhaus design movement which I find really interesting, and also my knowledge of some of the iconic designers such as Ray and Charles Eames and Alvar Aalto. All good inspiring stuff to curl up with (I don't have an open fire..but some tea lights almost do the trick) . Keep warm, keep dry and remember...winter spell is almost over.

  It's still cold and icy...BBrrr

The creative process..testing rendering techniques and processes 

 At my drawing board - not sure Renzo Piano needs to be too scared :)

 Design Icons..

The Bauhaus design movement..the cover of this book says it all..
