Eternal Dance

This is a beautiful photo that my husband Oisin took on our holiday to the states. It inspired a whole small tall tale of a girl and a huntsman punished by a sorcerer and turned into two trees; one white, one black. The story goes that once they grow and their branches touch the spell will be broken and they can be together again.

Etsy & Fragile Tales





She was a Lady from the Silver Screen:
Lingerie: Maria Morris

Model: Annie Fox (much thanks to the courageous girl)

Sorry to have not blogged in a while but I have been a busy little bee. Having dug around in many a vintage store and collected enough material from which to start, I have designed and made a little lingerie collection (some of which is modeled above) which can be found for sale at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/fragiletales

This lingerie collection was inspired by images of old Hollywood starlets as inspiration. These women were some of the first diva's, vamps, tramps, harlots, showgirls and wicked beauty's to make an impact onto the silver screen.

All the knickers, brassiere and clothing are made from vintage recycled materials... so have those little blemishes and quirks that add character to a garment and help tell a story of where it's been.

Hope you enjoy.
