Toe socks

Design and the City 2011 at Helsinki Summer School was special!

I have plenty to share from my month in Finland. 

Here's a quick sketch in the meantime. 

Liisa Jokinen founder of Hel-Looks chatted to us about her street style finds and sent our class on a mission to find our own 'image of Helsinki'. To me this describes the height of exotic: white havaianas on black and white toe socks. I spotted this on a lady at the second last bus stop of my daily Helsinki commute to the university.

My last evening in Finland, drawing and addressing postcards while the sun sets on Suomenlinna island. 

It's been so very very good.
