29/10/2018 0 Comments TRAVEL - OAHU, MAUI & KAUAI https://www.roseeadsdesign.com https://www.etsy.com/shop/RoseEadsDesign @roseeadsdesign On the road, travelling across Hawaii. Just my husband and I, our sketchbooks and nothing but time. We were blessed. We learnt lessons. We went back to our roots. With little internet and just each other and the jungle for company. For once time was our friend. I kept a journal on our travels, reflecting and capturing each moment in my journal of all the amazing things we discovered when travelling across Oahu, Maui and finally Kauai. Mother Earth is one beautiful place. I saw things that my mind could not have dreamt. We were totally immersed in the heart of nature. It was overwhelming and hard to not be in the thick of the depths of the jungle everyday now. How I miss it so..... This is perhaps the most pivotal video I have made to date. I felt feelings I didn't know existed ini Hawaii. Was pushed entirely out of my comfort, repeatedly, with no other options but to strive ahead. Saw things on Mother Earth created in the most abstract out of this world way. Towering green mountains disappearing into clouds, completely untouched and out of reach. Endless hours of inspiration. Endless hours of time, all ours. Now home, we both reflect on what we have learnt and walk steadily into our creative futures. This video, being a marker of the next chapter. Thank you so much for reading, liking, supporting, subscribing to every thing I do. Your actions make changes, in my life. Enjoy beautiful Hawaii and watch this space. Hawaii, we will meet again. I will make sure of that. Mahalo.

After time on and then time off, adventures have lead to a new direction in my work. I have been making a travel diary for over a year now and it really is thickening up. From Biarritz, to LA, Oahu, Maui to Kauai back to the United Kingdom. I am opening my sketchbook up to you. It is my diary, my inspiration, my souvenir and my future. It the beginning of new adventures and memories of old ones too. A book of inspiration for new projects from all over the world. Over the course of the next year, there will be a clear change in my practice and work. I endeavour to forever post with immense purpose and waste no time. At all. My website- the hub of my work. My practice is my priority..... and so it is. Join the journey. Soon I will be sharing my journey and new work.
25/9/2018 0 Comments Be here NowREAD FIRST if you will, BEFORE watching.....The more time I spend slowing down Hawaii, the more I become wise to what’s really important to me. Sometimes, its like people have a filter over their faces in reality and they can’t see the view right in front of them. You see people at these amazing places desperate to get the perfect ‘shot’. The best selfie. Paying so much attention to the temporary, they miss the present moment. They miss the view. I love photography, I love art. I enjoy capturing a moment with my camera but I love making real memories that aren’t temporary, sharing real moments with people that matter. At a beautiful waterfall I watched a group of people jump in, swim where you were not allowed, have someone record there time in the water. They came, they swam, they left. Took no time to absorb the beauty of the falls. Many where trying to take photos of the fall, but couldn’t because this group were in the water. They missed the moment and bacteria in the water meant that they weren’t supposed to swim anyway. You look around and a lot of people are on their phones at dinner, by the beach. Remember your roots. Remember what’s important. For me that’s making real memories, precious time with my husband, my family, my dog and Art. Don’t forget to be here now and what’s important. What are your thoughts? I would love to know.

When we stepped off the bus, the views left me breathless, with the clouds rolling over the summits - it was a sight I will never forget. I had only ever seen pictures and I was finally here and the atmosphere was indescribable but the the jungle was the best part.  Residents at Manoa Valley  Japanese influence at Manoa Valley It was by far the wettest, greenest part of Hawaii I have seen so far with rainfall travelling constantly down the valley into the town below. You feel like you have stepped into Jurassic Park as you travel deeper and deeper into the jungle.  Backyard You can help but feel you are stepping into something a little out of your league, as the trail gets wilder, the surroundings have been untouched by man and the trees and enormous and everything is fighting for sunlight climbing on top of another, fighting for space and light.  Manoa Falls trail We stood in the raw jungle. Untouched by man, it was truly wild. Devils Ivy swamped tall trees and the air was scented with lemon grass. Dry and windy at the bottom of the summit trail, the higher we walked the steeper the trail became and the wetter we became. With a hurricane the day before a number of trees had fallen, as well as bamboo. The path itself was muddy and wild. Rainfall had shaped the trail and it was evident that a lot of water falls all the way up the trail. Warnings were posted to notify us that the water levels could rise unexpectedly and I couldn’t help but feel very aware, we were now in mother nature’s hands deep in the real jungle.

A drive up to London that took an hour and a half, followed by an eleven hour flight into LAX, finally with a seven hour flight to Oahu, we made it to paradise. Needless to say, sitting up right in a chair trying to catch any sleep was not easy.  Jamba Juice Waikiki We arrived in Waikiki, Oahu and took ourselves out to check out the local breaks along the beach over razor sharp coral reef. With the need for a recharge we headed to Jamba juice and had an açai bowl first thing in the morning.  Açai Bowl We arrived in Waikiki, Oahu and took ourselves out to check out the local breaks along the beach over razor sharp coral reef. We strolled around pristine streets of Waikiki underneath the towering hotel blocks. The sidewalks are lined with tropical plants, flowers and you are never far from a palm tree, Japanese food, or Hawaiian Poke - Poke being the traditional Hawaiian dish of raw fish.  Waikiki Streets, pristine  Waikiki Walk  Waikiki reef breaks all along the shore The air is hot and wet. On the 30th floor of our hotel we took a moment to look at the tiny model beach from the top. Everything looked like a tiny toy model from this height. We tend to go to the top floor together to have a look at our surroundings whenever we travel.  Waikiki Beach  Banana Leaves  Diamond State Monument  Diamond Head State monument We headed up to Diamond Head state monument summit trail that overlooks the whole of Waikiki beach. It was really hot, dry and we had to hundreds of steps to walk and had to navigate our way through a tunnel at the top of the summit. The view from the top was incredible. The link Ocean was a beautiful blue. With the city on the left and the rolling clouds over the mountains to the right, this was truly an amazing sight. I met a man surrounded by birds that said he escaped his wife to smoke up the hill. He gave me some bird seed and many birds all flew onto my arm. It was a moment I will remember forever.
