Kate Spade was an amazing designer, who truly changed the world of bangs and purses…. Crazy cute designs, from tea cups to swans she made it all…. Now this bright light of the fashion accessories is go…. Yesterday Kate Spade, passed away at the age of 55. They say, it was depression, it was a crime, it was this and that….
This is how she wanted to be remembered
“If you’re as honest and fair as you can be, not only in business but in life, things will work out. I hope that people remember me not just as a good businesswoman but as a great friend — and a heck of a lot of fun.” – Glamour
Main thing is she did not get help…. Sad, simply, sad in a world where connection is everything…. To hang yourself with a red scarf and to be so helpless and see no way out , but to give up, makes me sad. I am sad for her daughter… I have a daughter and can’t imagine to leave her like that….
One of my fav quotes from Kate Spade is….
Here is one of my favourite handbags from her… A Black Swan…..
And this handbag below was the inspiration for the next art pieces that are available here
and another fabulous accessory form Kate Spade are her Parrot Earrings. I love the idea this fabulous bird was your inspiration and that you made it bright orange tangerine!
Stay humble, always remember that somebody who smiles, is not always happy. Be considered….
Remember her creations, smile at them, be happy you own a Kate Spade! Also if you think you need your Kate Spade, remembered, and would like to give it a spacial place in your home, contact me and I will create a custom Kate Spade art with your favourite item.
When it comes to Easter, I have a different approach to it….. I do not think Easter Hunt and Christian Easter, I think FASHION! Yup , FASHION, to be precise, I think Faberge Eggs. The most famous eggs were produced in Russia for Alexander III. Yup Russia, a country full of history and culture, gave us the Faberge Egg. A pure luxury a decadent gift.
In total 50 eggs have been created and 42 actually survived, so it;s understandable why they are so precious and so loved by collectors. Carl Faberge was the creator of the Faberge Eggs.
The Faberge Egg has become the symbol of luxury. It is created with metals, precious stones and gemstones. The first egg was truly unique and egg within an egg. A white shell with platinum and a golden hen with the imperial crown.
The House of Faberge is an amazing brand and they came far along since the Imperial Eggs. You should check out the collections, right here.
Faberge was a great inspiration for the fashion industry. Take a look at these amazing pieces. Mary Katranzou’s 2012 collection was fabulous
Balmain and Alexander McQueen. These are amazing pieces that originate in the Faberge Egg.
Let me know what you think about the Faberge Egg!
I got inspired by the Faberge Egg and here is what came out! A print inspired by flowers, Spring and a touch of fashion.
I love flowers in general and always was dreaming and admiring gorgeous endless gardens. I always tried to grow many flowers. My balconies were always full with flowers during my Uni years….. Living on rest does not make it easy to grow may flowers, and I am exited when the time comes to own a place and have a dream garden….
But enough of daydreaming! When you can’t have a garden why not illustrate flowers to make a room nicer?
Living in Brisbane you are not far from Toowoomba – City of flowers…. Here you find amazing flowers and fabulous Tulips……
So here we go …. inspired by one of my favourite flowers… TULIPS! I love them, and always did….
I made a print available here to celebrate tulips , fashion and Easter! It makes great gift for a flower enthusiast or somebody who enjoys the beauty of simple things.
Do you actually know the meaning of this particular flower, the tulip? If not here we go:
Tulips come from Persia, ( Iran ) and were introduced in the 16th century tot Turkey and finally in the 17th century to the Netherlands, where still today they are so popular that the country grows and exports them like crazy. The fields of tulips are the best in the Netherlands.
Also if you are in love with creating tulips in lace, here is a Romanian Point Lace kit for you!
The rival of the tulip is the classic Rose. Tulips are truly special. The inner centre of the tulip is, black and velvet like. It represents a lover;s heart since the 11th century. To receive a bouquet of tulips it stands for grace and elegance. When it comes to colours…. I love them all!
Orchids are such a fabulous, flower, with ancient origins. The Greek word Orkhis ( male anatomy ) is the origin of the word orchid and it has been associated with fertility. The ancient Greeks believed that the root tubes of the orchid could determine the sex of the unborn baby.
The orchid is all over the world a symbol of beauty and elegance. It is also a symbol of love an exotic plant that found fame in Europe in the Victorian England. In ancient China, the orchid is a symbol of perfection and in Japan a symbol of wealth.
As beautiful as this flower is, it was inspiration for a headband. If you want to learn how to create a Romanian Point Lace orchid, check out the video on You tube!
