Hi Sim, wow, this so fabulous and decadent..wonderful fashions..the gold frame and the textures..and I love that yellow dress..magical! Elegant design...always amazing to see your work! Victoria
What a stunning book cover, Sim. It leaves me smiling. Regarding your problem with English on my play on words: The author's name is Bertha D. Blues ... which is a play on the words "birth of the blues", a term used for the beginnings of that particular music style.
A fantastic book cover, Sim. Your artwork is such a joy.
Do you believe in coincidence? Today I was listening to a radio podcast by a university professor who is a specialist in fashions through the ages. The main topic was about Les Incroyables et Les Merveilleuses and he explained how the aristocrats in France realised the way they dressed set them apart from ordinary people and also put them in danger of being captured and killed. I was fascinated listening to this piece of history and then, voila, I saw your wonderful picture.
Stunning, just magnificent!!
