I am certain that we all have books in our personal library that over the years become our most valuable resource for inspiration. One of mine is The Art of Zandra Rhodes first published in 1984 and now 30 years later I still find it an inspiration each time I take it off the shelf. Lavishly illustrated with sketches, photos and text about how the artist arrives at her final design prints. In this video Zandra talks about the importance of keeping a sketch book. After a search on the net this morning I found that Zandra has a second website. The Zandra Rhodes Digital Study Collection full of so much of Zandra's work so generously shared. It will take a long time to go through but if you need a boost...take a look!

ReplyDeleteHi Michelle. the book is well worth reading. Maybe you could borrow a library copy? There is loads of info on the website. Hope you are surviving SA's heat.
