Fabric shopping

Location: Hong Kong Sham Shui Po

I had never seen so much material in my life. 

Dingy, old, dusty, overwhelming.. and altogether SO VERY WONDERFUL. Probably a very unglamorous version of Mood Fabrics. I'm sure I was ripped off - being so stunned by the cheapness of everything it didn't occur to me to bargain. But ahhh whatever take my money you lovely old aunties with giant scissors. I would move here just for this market.

This, but a whole market worth. 

died and gone to cloth heaven. WHAT JOY.

THIS IS ART

This. is. flipping. AWESOME TO THE POWER OF INFINITY. A FOR EFFORT PLUS GOLD STAR.

a thought.

I'm pretty inspired by the philosophy of these people (them who made the owl).

I love finding free stuff on the internet. Who doesn't! And yes, people might put up free tutorials, giveaways, downloads to attract more hits leading to advertisers and sponsors, but I'd like to think that there are those who genuinely want to spread the love of their craft.

Optimism overload, maybe. Who can judge intentions right? Regardless, I know I've benefitted from the proliferation of free stuff. In fact, this blog is a testament of 'you can learn anything from the internet'.

So thank you, people who are spreading the love. I am a product of your preaching.
