abiding love

Yes, we are avalanched by visual imagery. And yet ... some days a single image will capture you and stay with you for - twenty years - and have you knitting mohair sleeves and opening an Etsy shop. {See what's available at the moment in my Inner Wild Sleeves section here.}

Ah Bjork. You sweetling.

color palette

Breath-taking color palette of costumes from The Duchess. I'm so taken by these soft, pale naturals for young miss virgins - and the stronger, richer but always natural colors and fabrics for madam and mrs. I was captivated by the pretty shades in Scene One - the maidens playing on the lawn with the young lords and my love escalated from there.

Michael O'Connor is the Genius Costume Designer - perhaps you know he won many awards for his designs for the film including an Oscar. When I was collecting screen grabs from BBC iPlayer to share here I noticed his clever limiting of the palette to brown and blue supported by natural, muted cream, sage, olive and a dusky red-pink.
