My new mini suitcase

I bought this from Merci when I was in Paris. I always wanted one of the Liberty Print suitcases, so when I saw this I had to buy it, and it was a bargain at €45 compared to the Liberty ones which are £70!  


My new favourite shop...Merci

 On Monday I went to Paris for a a few days and whilst there I discovered this amazing shop!

More drawings for Carmen Miranda project


Apart from the fruit head dress being associated with Carmen Miranda, I also decided to look at the how she always wore so much jewellery and beads, not just around her neck but covering much of her upper body.
Last year for a fashion project, I produced a beaded top, so I decided to draw from this as further inspiration for my project.















Initial drawings for Carmen Miranda project

For the first lot of drawings I did for my project on Carmen Miranda, I put together a bowl of fruit inspired by the head dress she often wore. Below are the drawings I produced and some photos.
