Thursday Inspiration – Find What Inspires You!

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to the Rachael Taylor blog! We hope you’ve all enjoyed the amazing summer we are having & that you’ve been feeling as inspired as we have! Today we want to share a little bit on gathering inspiration & how it important that can be when pursuing your creative dreams, challenges & projects.

If you read our blog or follow Rachael on Instagram, you may have spotted that she has taken on an exciting & ambitious van conversion project called VW Serendipity. The project  will oversee a complete conversion of a Volkswagen T6 Kombi Transporter Van into a portable mini design studio & creative mentoring space for Rachael to continue her teaching around the design industry & the many applications of surface pattern.

Of course, a project like this requires lots of imagination, creativity, research, time, effort, energy & most of all, passion. It can be easy to get excited about a project at the start & then lose interest, however as Rachael is demonstrating with VW Serendipity, it’s all about staying inspired  – seeking inspo wherever possible, doing research to find out more possibilities & really committing to seeing it through.

If you follow Rachael on Instagram, you’ll often spot bits & bobs of inspirational posts that relate to her van project. She often shares photos of beautifully  converted vans, colour schemes, different functionality she’s spotted in other revamped vans. She has also created a dedicated VW Serendipity Instagram to show progress & collate more inspiration for the project.

Staying inspired from start to finish is a great way to see your project through. You could be a painter or a pattern designer building a collection & other priorities have taken over, or perhaps you’re a fashion designer looking to creating that perfect garment but haven’t had the same excitement for it anymore. We’d encourage you to seek inspiration for everything you do – it will inspire creativity in yourself & even in others!

Below we have shared some of our favourite inspirational posts from Rachael’s VW Serendipity project – these inspire her & help her to envision the final result & that’s a fab way to keep up your creative momentum. Share images, take images, tear out pages in magazines, create mood boards – whatever you do, know the power of inspiration!
