Trending Up (the Pendulums Swing) :: How Trends in Color and Prints Happen
7August 13, 2010
Is Design an acceptable area to be bold when we can't be bold in other areas of our lives or...will it reflect our need for safety? How does technology influence our attitudes about color, shape and texture? What are the effects of social media and the concept of the 'global village' as it relates to the integration of multi-cultural styles? Is there a new 'global' style? Can I make a throw pillow in it?

The Story of a Girl, a Drill and a Dream . . .

Wide-eyed and eager, I thanked them for their help and skipped home. My new purchase even came with a cool carrying case (their words) and tons of tiny drill bits that all lined up in neat little rows. I was so excited. And completely deluded. [ . . . ]
