Whilst I travelled Thailand, I visited three islands; Koh Samui, Koh Tao and Koh Phangan. a lot of my activities on these islands involved water and the sea. I collected a lot of shells which you may find drawings and sketches of in my sketchbook. I also collected a lot of photos of sunsets - a habit I also took back home with me.
What I find really interesting in sunsets and sun rises is that everyday its going to be unique, the sky will never look exactly the same again and I find that fascinating. Above is a photo I took in Koh Phangan. The silhouettes of the palms against the pastel blue and peach sky is very pretty and could easily be translated into designs for textiles.
Another inspiration I found was in the sand. a lot of the beaches had washed up corals of which their textures and structure could be translated into print designs alone. they hold tiny details which could be expanded into large prints or layered on top of each other with other designs.
