I'll bring you flowers in the pouring rain...

I have a mad busy but amazing week and found a lot of inspiration along my travels. I am working on a floral typography project at the moment which is being sent to print Thursday so I was sure to get some research in this week before a big working weekend. I absolutely love flowers, they are probably one of my favourite things and anyone who knows me will know I have a ridiculous amount of floral clothing, Liberty floral trainers and notepads, its just everything about them makes me haps so I am really excited to be working on this and its combining two of the best things about life.. Florals and Hand drawn typography!

What I also find inspiring about flowers is the colour and the way that it changes over time, some flowers actually look more beautiful when they have been dried out or when they are in the process of dying. The general structures and the shapes of each of the petals can make really interesting drawings and when you think about it its actually pretty crazy that they are a living thing!? Heres one of the photos from outside Liberty...amazing colours right?!

Liberty London

Yesterday on lunch I popped into Liberty to have a look at their flowers as I was in Central, well I could've spent all day there but unfortunately after 30 minutes of observing, photographs and a few sketches I decided I probably looked pretty weird and should go in at browse the fabric collection. I have been longing for one of the Liberty Scarfs lately to wrap round my barnett during the sun but then I saw the Kenzo ones and sorry Libs but I am all over that cloud print Kenzo treat! Unfortunately I can't afford to be spending that kinda dolla bill on a scarf right now but one day you will see me will a cloudy candy flossed barnett! Its actually the one on the right in this photo but you cant see how exquisite the print but I wouldn't lie, its dreamy.

I also found some great Typography cards by Lucy Loves This, have a look at them here all of the letters are inspired by London and she also does some amazing prints!
