Having to take time out gives me the opportunity to get inspired by the creativity around us today including the creativity that’s already come and gone. The photo above is from a collection at the local museum in Napier.

These two pieces were also here in Napier.

This local piece was hand stencilled.

The techniques used in the past are certainly ones I’ll try to use in the future.

This dress uses a combination of laces and silk.

Lately there have been some changes in sleeve silhouettes so I thought you might want to see this dress as a historical example for a future design.

More finds soon.
