Fashion Ads of the 20th Century

365 days of Fashion Ads of the 20th century by Taschen. This book is full of wonderful colourful fashion from the 1900s through to -and including- the 1990s.

Each double page has a full-page ad on one side and a witty quote pertaining to fashion on the other.

It's a fun book to look through on a rainy day - which certainly fits this season- or go through for inspiration.

Paper To Petal Flower Inspiration

Lately my imagination has been captivated by images from this book, Paper To Petal by Rebecca Thuss and Patrick Farrell. 

Have you seen it?

I've never made a paper flower even though I admire them tremendously -enough to put them on my (never-ending) to-do list.

This book makes me want to go and start right now.

I've already put it on my Christmas wish list.....
