Imitation, admiration, please tell me you get it..

'Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.' Salvador Dali

By posting this, I am being some what hypocritical.  I have even second quessed why I'm posting it since I have other projects to share with you.  But this blog is about me sharing what' s in my heart and being truthful and honest.

So here it is....when I saw these beautiful fabrics by Alexander Henry,

Eton Butterfly

Larkspur Circle

Larkspur Meadow

Beverly Glen

Larkspur

I pride myself in always trying to be original, often bypassing ideas if I have seen them before.  But in this case, I just couldn't help myself.

I completely and utterly plagarized it...

So this is an absolute case of being a copy cat....which is something I am not proud of...

But to the artist of this gorgeous fabrics, I say to you from the bottom of my heart, that this is absolutely the sincerest form of not only flattery but admiration for your art work.

I used some of my favourite paints and painted and old canvas bag.  I am so in love with the colours and the simple lines of the drawings.

If you get a chance, please visit the site where you will find several of Alexander Henry's collection of fabrics and tell me that you understand why I would want to recreate such gorgeousness.....

I hope I have not disappointed you.

Have a terrific day!

warm hugs,

Lucy
