Less than a week

 Fashion Challenge... for the launch of a brand... when the lovely cloth from Scotland arrived on a Tuesday... the gown was to be worn a few days later on Saturday at the Versailles Ball...

With a few prior draping sessions time stopped for a few days of therapeutic creative timespace while the dress took shape, constructed with one CF and one CB seam to respect the beauty of the checks and beautiful drape:

Specing and more ...

 In order to perfect a spec and pattern for first proto Feedback Report and add production touches such as notches and grain, a hot water wash and sun blazing dry allowed the process to move forward for this startup. 

And on such a sunny day went on sourcing on the bike

No Signature Needed

I looked and looked and for the first time ever could not see any signature on Francis Bacon paintings 🖼 yesterday at the Expo Roadshow, a premiere PerpiArt visit ...

Actually it liberated me of this idea that art and creations have to be stamped with a protective seal, and like Bacon’s subtle cages framing his subjects, I felt mine was lifted forever in a huge respite of recognition being the best protection... IP regenerated... and the only two signs to be found looked like planet recognition, a black cross circled for Mother Earth and later Jupiter which could also have  been a 4 followed by a 5... in a sequence triptych: I was so hoping for Saturn to appear... 

Highly recommended visit to be prepared by watching a highly interesting presentation by the Art History School on Bacon’s Background
