All Bundled Up

This week's drawing!

Because the cold weather has now descended upon us, I've taken to the refuge of my overly large cozy granny sweaters, so this drawing is in that spirit.

And this week's inspiration -  today I borrowed a lovely little library book about 18th and 19th century wallpapers published by the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. The wallpapers are from the Réveillon Royal Manufactory and their successors, the Jacquemart & Bernard Manufactory.

(Trend forecast: Wallpaper is coming straight back - from 1781.)

This Week's Inspirationals

Here are some images from library books that I've borrowed and been delighted by:

I was quite happy to find that my school library had Worlds in a Small Room, a series of beautiful photographs by Irving Penn, taken in his portable travelling studio. His photographs always amaze me. You can see more images from the book here.
