| "My inspiration" - Mother & Daughter |
This story frame captures a beautiful bond and friendship
between mother & daughter.
It is handcrafted from just 2 items of clothing:
- a pretty floral summer top from the daughter
- a gorgeous lace trim from the mother
Both items were loved for how they made them feel
when worn and for the times they represent;
the top was a light, summery fabric that felt fresh, the fit and style
gave confidence and soft feminine country charm (both mother and daughter
are country girls at heart). The top was no longer worn - now showing signs
of how well it was loved - and tucked away in the back of the wardrobe for a
"it might come in handy one day" moment!
- a trait both mother and daughter share,
creativity is another:
the gorgeous vintage lace trim was added as a finishing touch to
a dress the mother wore for her own 18th birthday.
These items capture two very different times within the story frame;
one before and one after children, combining two individual personalities
but with many similarities and interests into one story frame.
The delicate floral paper cut frame expresses the shared love of the outdoors,
country living, open space and the inspiring environment to create and explore,
along with the support and encouragement in finding that unique path in life.
The hand painted artwork of the little girl in sepia tones adds a nostalgic charm
to the story frame, reflective of the childhood memories it holds.
A gift truly from the heart, from daughter to mother "My inspiration"
