Since I've landed in Bangkok, I have been inspired by the colors and prints seen on traditional Thai silk. Silk weaving had become a lost trade in Thailand, but the arrival of American explorer and businessman Jim Thompson in the 1940s turned the business around and made Thai silk famous around the world.

The traditional clothing for women is usually straight and narrow, made with beautifully-printed silk. I'm not sure I could pull it off, but I could definitely use the material for something else. By the way, tailors are a big thing in Thailand, especially for foreigners. I wonder what I could have made from such beautiful material...
Any ideas?
