'Love in the Valley' was inspired by beautiful dressing tables and the intimate moments of adornment and letter writing that take place during this delightfully feminine past time. Complete with a vintage glove and fan, early 20th century poetry and postcard, I have created this dynamic black and white mixed media original to display the delights of a 1920's socialite.
'Love in the Valley'
Detail - string of beads, vintage fan and postcard..I also had couldn't resist last night and made a few need brooches for my little shop. I just had to put to use some of the lovely new fabric I bought recently. In this little batch of four I've included a few literary references including one I've been wanting to makes for so long... I heart Mr. Darcy. Who doesn't!
'I heart Mr. Darcy'
'I heart High Tea'
'I dream of Wonderland'
'I heart Yoga'
'I heart Mr. Darcy'

'I heart Yoga'I've also begun my reading list for the year. As a Literature teacher I get very lucky when it comes to reading amazing novels so I thought I would put together a collection of the books that I will be reading and (in some cases would just love to) if I had the time.
Will show you the results of my experimenting tomorrow.
