a still life art class

yes there was a whole set up but i only focused on one flower:)

this cuteness lives inside its blooms of perfection

down by the spring one morning

where the shadows still lay deep

i found in the heart of a flower

a tiny fairy...

what do you have to look forward to? i hope loads:)

oh & yes i have the bible (as i am talking about in this post) i think. the only thing is that it belonged to my grandparents and i do not know if i wanna create my work in it. maybe i owe it to them & the world to keep it like it is? or does this make it even more personal for my art project? it's such a beauty. a swedish bible, perfect size, beautiful font & the thickness = perfection. shall i???

i'll leave you with this spring beauty

"Liberty In Fashion" At The Fashion & Textile Museum Opens Tomorrow

i was invited to preview the wonderful exhibition

liberty in fashion

at the 

fashion and textile museum

this past monday.

i fell in love

it's a story of the legendary shop liberty. a store found by arthur lasenby liberty 140 years ago. arthur's ambition was to create new fashion rather than follow the existing styles. the development of liberty "art colours" and the production of its own fabrics in great britian ensured that his vision would become reality. 

such an entrepreneur 

 if you are in london anytime from tomorrow to february 28th 2016, go devour:))) 

such inspirations! such millions to learn from a visionary.

here are some amazing inspirations i captured (with not the best functioning iphone) at this beautifully curated exhibition.  for my own use/ inspiration for later use in regards to various projects i am working on. 

my fave spot was at the top floor. i met with the wonderfully talented sarah campbell whom has created this space called "the art of pattern" which features the work she did together with her sister susan collier ( 1937-2011) during the years 1961-77 for liberty in london prints.

liberty in fashion

sketches, smock dresses together with 30's beauties, 60's and all else under the sun.

yes that is how this exhibition 

inspires 

love adore love adore

the craft!

do i see marc jacobs ca 2005 here?

would i devour this in my closet?

the answer would be 

YUP!!!

liberty in fashion

highly recommended this exhibiton dear lovely alice wonderland readers. i too hope you get to meet the lovely mademoiselle sarah campbell if you visit.

thanks josie at felicities for inviting me to this beautifully created exhibition.
