What Criminals Forget.

Diana Abrahamson @dianadee (1778) • South Africa 23 Jun 17

I get inspired by seeing what other people are making.

Diana Abrahamson @dianadee (1778) • South Africa 17 May 17

Sometimes it is good to get a fresh perspective on an idea. Not copying it but sparking another one, in our own mind! One of my dress design teachers told us to get inspiration for creating a dress outfit from something unusual....
