Mine and Hannah Llewelyn-Jones' (hannahllewelynjones.blogspot.com) mish-mash wall of inspiration, memories and quips.



Halfway through a Jean-Paul Gaultier "Classique" corset inspired construction. Another inspiration branching from the British 1940's Make Do & Mend cultural activity, this corset is made entirely from recycled shirts, pattern paper and crochet. Photoshoot to follow soon.

· polly's secret garden

Location: my back garden

Props: lace web, dried hydrangeas (petals used as eyelashes), copper wire

Storyline: escapism from the harshness of reality, model Georgie Rees seeks succour from the splendour of nature, in a world where imagination is Queen

"Ensnared in a web of

complexities laced with convultions,

intricacies and eruditions,

Polly's discoveries aided her suspicions

as to why the Great Mother

had her trapped."

"Like a kite I set off in flight:

away from fright and might;

bearing the Sun in my palms

I will have no qualms against

the Earth. I will merely have mirth."

· quixotic neuschwanstein

Streaking sunsets very beautiful,
painting rainbows in the air.
Brushing green the hillside scene,
blotting blue the sky above,
splashing flowers across the ground beneath.

· Udiah, witness to Yah
