JUST Got Home ! Travel Always Gives Me New Ideas and Creative Energy.....

I just got back from a short but amazing trip to Europe.  I HAD to go because it is fun (and my best friend Louisa lives there!) but ALSO to check out #artandfashion (and the #artoffashion!!)  to inspire my work and to pass on ideas to my students.     

But first things first .... you need to bring a #handprintedgift to bring to your friends... and Louisa and her BF LOVE Baudelaire !! So, of course,  I #screenprinted this t-shirt  for him  and little (vintage) slip skirt for her ! .

Louisa and I visited the #georgepompidoucentre - what a blast - and I dressed the part - totally #peachberserk all the way !  The Surrèalisme Exhibit ROCKED - great idea, Lou !!! 

And I had to visit the #eiffeltower .... what I based my (FIRST EVER) #screenprint on - Eiffel for You , of course !! 

One of the other briLL things I saw in Paris, was an art exhibit on #textilewaste - one of my main concerns - at the #pinaultcollection 

SooooOOOOOooooo interesting to see.  Confirms to me even more why I make my clothes (almost always) out of #repurposedfabric and encourage my #silkscreenworkshop students to #upcycle as much as possible. 

Next stop.... Berlin !! 

I loved my VERY RETRO hotel - if you go to Berlin (and it's the BEST) stay at Hotel-Pension FUNK !! Here I am using the telephone..... OMG sooooo my kinda place - just gorgeous and everyone SO nice there, too .

And last of all .... some of my fave art from the Berlin Wall - here is some of my favourite parts.  SO ready, now that I am home to make things and (hopefully!) inspire others to make art and express themselves too <3 

Now I'm back here #teachingmyartclasses and #screenprinting like cRaZY...... Love to see you here soon !
