As a new class of students embarks on their Design-Tat journeys, I can't help reflecting on my own discoveries.
One of the revelations was that you never know from whence the spark will come. Once you start seeing the world through design eyes, inspiration can come from anywhere.

A delectable dessert photo, for example.
Everyone else (maybe you included) salivates over the scrumptious-looking petits fours, but I see the box.
'Can the lacy border can be tatted?' I wonder.
This sketch came to a screeching halt because of the "tassel effect." It is a principle element on the box. (Click on the Paris Breakfast photo for a close-up view.)
Another revelation is that once inspiration strikes you never know where it may lead. The "tassel effect" section I also "see" a ribbon bow with a tassel hanging from it. So the Clunies may morph into bows.
Nothing is certain, except for one thing - getting there is half the fun!
Do go over to Paris Breakfasts for more mouth-watering images of sweet treats and the incredible water-color paintings pastry artist Carol Gillott creates from them. Just don't go hungry...
