PORTFOLIO
…..a woman of uncharacteristic beauty trails from the group during a tour of an ancient castle…..she stumbles upon attic rooms full of aged costumes and ornaments……. tarnished, heavy with lore the heirlooms await discovery…..
frayed linens, faded brocades, quilted undergarments, soft cotton tulle, silk muslin in the subtlest of tones, un-dyed furs, chandelier crystals, rusted metal threads, natural pearls, embossed kid-hides, pastels of deep burgundy, ivory, olive greens, sea-foam blue turquoise…the essence of a vanished, feminine era.
