love affair

My loves & I chased a storm down the California coast to catch the tail end of the Zandra Rhodes exhibit at the Mingei Museum.

Well worth cutting thru the dark clouds. It felt like I'd stepped into a dream world. To see all her lovely prints & little delicate details up close was incredible, I was practically drooling all over the chiffon. Some of those frocks looked like they were floating in the air... was beyond inspiring.

Ohh Jo!! My dear friend Jo has done it again. Her newest work is more enchanting then ever. It's as if Mathilde Willink commissioned Fong Leng to make some life size dolls to dance and play with.

JoAnne Burke aka Chromium Dumbelle, a living doll herself, is an extraordinary talent. She is a master of mesmerizing metallic embroidery. She does incredible wearable art pieces and now she has completely outdone herself with a collection of life size pieces. They will be on display at Galerie Salome in Portland OR until the end of the month!! Go now run! you don't want to miss this magic!!
