This blog is about inspiration for designs. Inspiration comes from many places for me - art, fabric, nature.... but I have always had a special place in my heart for music. But music as an inspiration? Come on! Yes ~ music. Perhaps it is because I always have an association to the music I listen to or if I am hearing it for the first time - it evokes a feeling. And from a feeling, a design can emerge. Last night for example, I saw Bruce Springsteen in Washington, DC. It is not the first time I have seen him, or the last. What I noticed first were the bald keyboard players flanking the other members of the band. How symmetrical. They all wore black - nice unity - but many of them played several intruments - how diverse - the epitomy of harmony in good design. Bruce sang some old favorites and soon to be new favorites. As I was listening to his endearing voice, I started to think of interpreting it with texture. As I danced and listened -for three hours - I actually thought of many fabrics that interpret his voice. The one that stands out - mohair - soft but slightly coarse, luxurious, timeless, easy on the eye - and always fabulous. Bruce Springsteen sofa anyone?
