'Potato' Printing

I've had this idea for potato printing for ages.  This was actually my second attempt after meticulously carving out the perfect 'p' only to discover that I'd done it back to front, (obviously I then grew despondent and put the whole idea off for a while)!!!!  So chuffed with how it eventually came out.  Not sure if the dappled effect has more to do with printing it on grass than just the potato itself.  Need to do some more experimenting with printing on a hard surface, otherwise I'll be spreading the lawn with rolls of white fabric.  I've put the potato in the freezer to see if it will keep.  Got big plans for this print...

A-symmetric shoes

I love a bit of A-symmetry, especially in surprising places.  These shoes by Koji Horigome are incredible.  I could happily design a whole collection of garments around these.  I do have a small obsession with shoes, more than clothes.  I'm super fussy when it comes to their shape and don't even get me started on trainers - the toe has to be the right length and width, laces must be wide set, etc, etc!

Check out Koji Horigome's shoes and an interview at Not Just A Label.  I particularly like his sources of inspiration;

"The shape of orthopaedic shoes, 1960s artificial limbs, vintage medical equipment, military outfits, processes of traditional shoe making, the film "Ghost in the Shell" and abandoned buildings."
