... another Simplicity gift
One year they gave chocolate bars that looked like rulers ... but, I'm afraid that one didn't last very long. :-)
I've got a lot of neat sewing related artwork in my studio that hardly anyone gets to see. So today ... welcome to my studio walls. ![]() This is a reproduction of a painting by Antoine Raspal entitled "The Couturier's Workshop, Arles, 1760." I purchased this a year ago to hang on the wall when I was helping a wonderful young designer, Celia Reyer, create her interpretation of an 18C garment on site at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington DC in 2012
![]() This is a little etching given to me as a thank you gift by a young woman who graduated with my son Eric from UC Berkeley. I gave her a little advice about working in the fashion industry and I got this wonderful piece of art. Her name is Tramaine de Senna Click on the picture above to see more of her art at her website.
![]() OK, maybe this isn't exactly about sewing, but it is the clock above my worktable. I recently brought it back from my mother's house. It was always in the room I slept in when visiting her. This was a gift to my mother by the artist Winston Smith. He is a well know artist who's work has been on the cover of the New Yorker to mention one place.
