The Heart Asks Pleasure First

This is the title to a beautiful piece by Micheal Nyman on the soundtrack from the film The Piano. This piece in particular inspired me to start practicing piano again after telling my parents I hated the lessons.  

This collection is me enjoying the pleasures of being able to create. The joy of sitting at my bench and working off a quick sketch,  a random idea in my head or challenging myself to try something new that I wanted to try for a while. Since this is also my first ever Valentine's Day collection, I really wanted it to come from a place of joy and love for this craft and my design process.
