introducing by aisling

hello crafty ireland, my name is aisling, from by aisling designs


me!

So hears a bit about my background and what inspires me

I am a Dublin girl born and bread, with a few drops of Cork blood which meant I got to spend my childhood summers on my grandfathers farm in North Cork.
I am an incurable romantic, I buy too many books and I problem love my basset hound Winston too much, but he’s just too cute!

So, anyhow when I graduated from university in 2008, I was left wondering what area I would like to work in. I had studied sociology. I have always been passionate about fashion and as I child I was craft mad. So I set about rediscovering my passion for making things. Design and making jewellery gives me a great outlet to express myself and to enter a world of vibrant colours and textures.My inspiration comes from high fashion both past and present, I love the passion behind the couture shows and spent many happy hours milling through fashion coffee table books and old copies of Vogue. I also draw on areas I have traveled. Be it the hot and cultured orange groves of the Moorish city of Seville. Or the vivid whites and sea blues that fill my memery of a summer spent island hopping in Greece, drinking cheep Ouzo and visiting hidden monisterys.Nature is always a constant and often surprising source of inspiration. My first collection has a soft, romantic feel to it and was inspired by long mid-summer’s days. However For my fall/ winter collection I am going to be designing a slightly naughty, decadent collection. Working with stronger colours to create a rich and heavy feel to reflect the changing seasons
