Crème de la crème

An idea occurred to me this afternoon as as I perused the chocolate counters for Easter treats - what fun it would be to have a dress entirely made of Creme Egg wrappers! I got to work that afternoon, unwrapping and carefully smoothing out the crinkled foil before photographing it. A little while later - ta da! My Crème de la crème dress was born.

I teamed it with an asymmetric purple bob, red heart shape sunglasses by elsa Liebknecht, and a dear little chirpy chick by Whynx Whiplash. I made the topper, adding red ostrich plumes and two little creme eggs tucked alongside. My mismatched purple and red boots, and red gloves came from Doh!

Altogether, not your average Easter look, but I think it's rather stunning all the same. Most eggcellent in fact.

Objet trouvé, the magpie and Meadow

i. Objet trouvé or 'found object' - created from the undisguised, but often modified, use of objects that are not normally considered art, often because they already have a mundane, utilitarian function.
ii. The Magpie - an intelligent bird that likes to explore. Shiny things interest them as toys or something to stash away, they like to hoard.
Is able to recognize itself in a mirror.
iii. Meadow: Eclectic, curious magpie with an overactive imagination.
