Inspriation in London....


We spent a great weekend in London.  We enjoyed Kensington Palace- sadly, Princess Diana's dresses have been moved to the Fashion Museum in Bath.  We saw a wonderful exhibit of Grace Kelly's clothes at the Victoria and Albert Museum- I loved it and have many new ideas for dresses.  As we were walking towards Harrods, we passed the window displays for Harvey Nichols.  These photos are from the window displays.  The first one is a close up of a very large dress made of clothes pins.  Again, is it mosaic or collage?  The second grouping is a tree made of pencils.  I have also shown it up close so you can see the detail of the pencils and how a simple thing like a pencil can be divided into points, erasers etc. to create different images. What I love about this kind of art and what I do, it inspires people to view things in a new way, hopefully to look at your world in a new way.
