My vintage Italian fabric named "Les Saltimbanques" in color burgundy was featured in Roxanna Bikadoroff 's Etsy treasury named Kismet (ironically the name of the vintage threads I sew and embroider exclusively with :) Thank you Roxanna! You can click on the photo below for a close up.
Roxanna Bikadoroff is a well known illustrator from White Rock, BC (her works can be seen on her website www.roxannamundi.ca and on her Facebook art album page). Her Etsy store is absolutely incredible! She describes her store as follows: "My Snazzy Boutique concept is based on the boutiques my mother used to take me to in Montreal in the 1960s/70s and the indoor emporiums with many little booths/open shops inside which you find in London." Roxanna also has a blog called Roxanna's Gallerie Mystique featuring her enchanting artwork. Go take a peek!
I love everything in her shop, and I do mean EVERYTHING, but if I had to pick a favorite, I would have to pick Oriental Beauties - a pair of hand painted / mixed media Chinoiserie Harpies. These miniature paintings are super feminine, and have an incredible amount of detail. I would love to have them in my sewing studio. They would surely inspire me to create!
So many lovely things to look at! Thank you for posting this! I also love her "Oriental Beauties" paintings.
