Charles James | c. 1955

The inspiration for this elegant evening dress probably came from cuirasse bodices and bustle skirts of the 1870s. James was fascinated by the cut of historical dress and explored innovative new forms of garment construction, such as spiral draping. His forte included the creation of luxurious, full-skirted evening gowns. He looked on dresses as works of art, as did his customers.

WOW, the front is just as spectacular as the back on this. The spring/summer 07 collection by Zuhair Murad is just gorgeous, but the red one is my favorite. Here’s a link to the full collection.

Paper Forest Book Children 2011 retrospective!

Around this time last year I started a B/C shop, partly as an incentive to make me practice watercolor. The pets done in October had to be made digitally due to time constraints. The earliest pets started with color pencil lines and used digital pattern overlays, which got dropped once I started getting more comfortable with using watercolor. Most of these took between 9 ~ 12 hours. Stuura (in the chair) took 21. Including City Folk (not pictured here) and pets which have not been sold/revealed yet I made *edit* 42! */edit* pets for the shop last year, which is not a lot from a B/C perspective but from a senior-in-college perspective it’s… probably also not a lot :’V  HA HA HA haaaaaaaaaaaaa.

I wish I could post the pets done by guest artists and other artists in the shop because they were AMAZING, but this will have to do! Happy New Year everyone!

Coral Tiara | c. 1860 - 1870

Phillips Brothers, in which the dominant partner was Robert Phillips, were the leading supplier of coral goods in London, as well as being important goldsmiths and jewellers. In 1870 the firm advertised that it had ‘the most complete collection of fine coral work in the world’. Robert Phillips received the order of the Crown of Italy for his services to the coral industry in Naples.

I love this so much I posted it twice.

The Wedding Industry.

Nice.

Literally can’t stand to watch even the littlest bit of wedding shows because the attitude and behaviors of the brides always makes me so infuriated.

I wish there was a wedding show about cool low-budget weddings for nice people who just want to party with their friends and family in the name of ~love~
