Inspirations



I have always loved History, Literature and Art.........................................................................................................
beautiful things, the stuff of dreams..................................................

flowers, butterflies, fairy tales, embroidered fragments, Chinese blues, Botticelli angels, Blake's visions, Burne-Jones pictures............................................................................................

amongst many other hints and wisps of the past..........................

to catch in my net and weave into mydesigns..................

which I hope others might find as beautiful as their inspirations.

English Eccentric.................

I have often been told that I am rather eccentric............................!!!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whilst trying to find information about an interesting company called....English Eccentrics (!!!!) I found this lovely quote, on another website http://www.icons.org.uk/ about eccentricity, which I think sums me up BRILLIANTLY!

"  If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears" Henry  DavidThoreau

It also describes those people I have admired from the past (Rossetti, Morris, Burne-Jones, Blake amongst others)

The music they followed was beautiful and I hope to follow their drummer, to produce lovely imagery as they did.
