I did a doodle today following inspiration from the beauty that comes from Church and Cathedral stained Glass Windows. Works of art, they are now more and more taking on modern twists, commissioned artists working their storytelling magic into the images and colours and use of light that each window holds.

Years ago I visited Moreton Church in Dorset and was mesmerised and transported by the eerily beautiful windows that had been installed, using simplicity and calm through single white etchings to capture the devastation and impacts of the World Wars. So moving, so thought provoking.

So I've been inspired to create my own little set of four windows to depict the transition of day to night, summer to winter. My aim is simplicity, using colour and shapes to illustrate transition, and then (if they were real windows) the movement of the natural light through the pains would bring them to life, literally moving the transition between the windows.

Here is window one, with the window to to come tomorrow.

I did a doodle today inspired by:

1. Walking in the fields amongst the wildflowers, where the poppies (still holding on) stood out amongst the array of greens, whites and purple growth

2. A beautiful bench and art piece erected in the town centre, in memory of those that fought and fell in WW1

3. #Colour_Collective, whose colour selection for tonight is Fire Engine Red.

I did a doodle today continuing my aim to bring my 'Nature's Couture' designs to life in the form of actual couture.

First stage, the basic clothes, full of flowing lines, soft edges and natural colours, creating a natural organic clothing canvas for my designs from nature. Once I have my capsule range, I will remake each outfit in each of the graphic fabric designs from 'Nature's Couture'.

Today, the ra-ra-extra-ra dress.

I did a doodle today as a start to a fun fashion line I'm creating... all in order to bring my 'Nature's Couture' designs to life in the form of actual couture.

First stage, the basic clothes, full of flowing lines, soft edges and natural colours, creating a natural organic clothing canvas for my designs from nature. Once I have my capsule range, I will remake each outfit in each of the graphic fabric designs from 'Nature's Couture'.

Today, the jumpsuit.
