Recently I've been all over the map in terms of cultural artistic inspiration.Yesterday we were in Cuba, last week Burma, today Tibet. The images starting at no.5 and down are Tibetan sand mandalas ( yes, painstakingly made from colored sand) that can take several weeks to create and are traditionally destroyed shortly after completion to illustrate the Buddist belief in the impermanence of life. Absolutely incredible........

Women's Fashion and National Identity
There's a wonderful show on right now at the Metropolitan Museum in NYC called American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity. It's an exploration of "archetypes of American femininity through dress" and features costumes worn from 1890 to 1940, all beautifully exhibited in appropriate period settings. I really have to make it there to see this as I'm a big fan of vintage fashion.
This is an exhibit in the process of being set up.....Love the ornate decor.
