A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of meeting one of my all time favourite stylists - Claire Larritt-Evans. Not only is she a fantastically talented stylist, Claire is lovely to boot! I contacted Claire seeking her advice and not only was she willing to give me her invaluable insight into the industry, she let me help her with the window installment she was doing for A Shop Called Moth in Albert Park. To say Claire gave my level of inspiration the boost I so dearly needed would be an (extreme) understatement.

After meeting with Claire, I found myself walking away with a bucket full of goodies and the task of creating 9 twine balls. This involved a lot of glue, many many meters of twine and a bit of patience thrown in. It was a lengthy process but once I established a production line it was fairly straight-forward.

I can't take credit for the idea but I think the end result looks fantastic. Claire sprayed the balls in pastel colours which work really well with the new Spring clothes that are on their way in this season.  

A job well done and a HUGE thank you to Claire!
