Play!
Last week end was great - there's Leijonakaupunki Design Festival happening right now. I didn't expect anything good - last week was also the first week of the semester ( that means that all the students are trying to finalize their time schedules - that means a whole lot of work for me and Yong, the poor small timetabling team..)
At the end I just decided that I'll just go to the DesignEDGE conference no matter what, as there were lots of stellar names among the speakers (Designers Republic, Unkle, etc). So I abandoned Yong to struggle with the timetabling and...
...boy ow boy it blew my mind... Ever after Japan I feel inspired to do things and this conference gave me few more kicks in the backside.. Damn, Giedre, go ahead and do it!!.. Go and Play!! Why does life have to be so boring?!?
A bundle of design magazines and books down the road I announce myself officially INSPIRED!
Taking DFuse guys to give a speech at our school added more to that - these people are so damn pretty normal.. They also have their daily ups and downs, but they manage to do good stuff somehow (on their free time at that!).. Yeah, I think I forgot how to Play last year.. And life started pressing its heavy boot upon my shoulders after a while..
And yes, definitely, silkprint is next on my "to learn" list. I didn't get the Faile print on a Tshirt that I bought, so I'll have to make my own. I already have an idea and a small design (4 colours!! I must be crazy to make it!!).. As soon as I open the print line here, you can start queing for the Tshirts.. :) I already started making arrangements to understudy some lecturers that teach textile decoration.. Finally I'm back on track. Play!
