I hope you are well.
Tonight, I have an outfit for you inspired by this artwork- a dish from Japan called Nabeshima ware from the 17th century.
I instantly knew what outfit I would wear for this but it took a lot of searching to find the garment in question!

| Japanese dish - Nabeshima ware, |
Here is my outfit! As you can see, the colours are perfect- the pale blue background is the same in the dress and the leaves and lowers are navy and pink. My shed picks out the turquoisey shade! Happily, I didn't iron it!
I did also wear tiny pink daisy earrings with a pearl centre but failed to take photos! And a pink flower clip in my hair.
CBC and I have spent time in the garden today and yesterday- he tied up this plant against the shed as it had fallen down.What will it be? Honeysuckle or something similar? I don't know?!
In case you would like to join in (which would make me VERY happy to know I had recruited someone!!) Send a picture of an outfit somehow inspired by the Japanese plate to Salazar at www.14shadesofgrey.wordpress.com 14shadesofgreyblog@gmail.com and she will post a roundup of everyone's outfits who were inspired by this piece. It is always a delight to see different interpretations and it would be lovely to see more people join! Please,someone join in!
Hope you are well!

ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning dish. I really love its colours and design. And you did well imitating it. That's an absolutely lovely Springtime dress. Had to smile when I read it took some time to locate the dress. Sounds like me ... xxx
