Inspiration board: A Chain Link



The link between England and Finland. That's the thing. How I love the sound of the rolling chain and sand between tires and tarmac. The wind blowing on my face, the smell of the sea. Breath. Alone in the nature. That's my home here, and the feelings are just same when cycling in Finland. I brought my bike here to explore, to feel safe, to bring something personal with me. I found Dartmoor on my bike, and new friends. I had a race with homesickness - I won.


Tried to find good pictures of an old rough chain. Something rough enough to look good when made of clay. The pictures above are of my bike chain - pictures below are from the Internet wonderland.

Inspiration board: Ceramic spheres


I lost the web page I found these amazing ceramic spheres - it said they are "matt smoked" - what does it mean? I love the natural gray shades on them.



 I'd love to roll this one on my hands. The texture looks amazing.



...so soft and neat...

Inspiration video: My world


Music: Älä itke äitini (Do not cry my mother) by Oskar Merikanto
Eero Heinonen, piano

Oskar Merikanto is one of my favourite composers, especially I love his piano pieces like this one and Romanssi.

Pictures are either taken by myself, my sister Sofia or from internet (79ideas.org etc). I chose the pictures to reflect my world and the way I think about it and the things that are important for me. 

MY WORLD

SIMPLICITY                 PURPOSEFULNESS
ROOTS
TRUST        HONESTY                                         PURITY


 SENSES          TOUCH         FEEL
NATURE

SMELL           MIDSUMMER SUN


RECURRENT DEPRESSIVE DISORDER
HAPPINESS          LAUGH

STRENGTH


AESTHETICS

PERFECTIONISM                                                       
             
                                                                              SPHERE

Inspiration board: Sphere

The first thing that came into my mind when talking about spheres was Finnish design. Sphere has been the main inspiration in so many well known items - for example these:

Eero Aarnio, The Ball Chair

I love this one! Isn't it beautiful?

 What does spehre mean to me?

Home, a safe place
from urbanity to nature
from steel factory to handcrafts
from steel to wood and wool
from masculinity to femininity
