I’ve become a little transfixed with lilac since brain-storming a test shoot with photographer Iwan Essery. We’re doing a shoot playing with colour in time for a certain small event coming up in the next few weeks. I’m going to be trying girly on for fit. I’m thinking of ribbons, doilies, cake, sugar and all things sweet in dirty muted pastels. It’ll be fun and a nice change from my usual clean cut graphic approach. The pictures I will be sure to share with you in time. I thought that if I do a whole post dedicated to the colour that it might help free me of my obsession. It might. I’ve very much looking forward to this shoot and have been preparing for it during the last few weekends. Any of you following me on twitter may well be able to put together the clues of included products but it shouldn’t spoil it too much. It’ll be an exploration of colour and texture whilst trying to push the boundaries of expected and normal themes. A little turned-about and spruced-up patriotic games and celebrations. Of which I am keen. I’m almost tempted to dye my hair too…
