The Creative Flow
*
The measure of a mother's love for her children is often far beyond what can be perceived or measured by her offspring.
Often that intense love is channeled into a project - like making a quilt!
We watch our parents grow old - our children watch us grow middle-aged ....and we wonder what the future holds.
As I grow older and my children grow taller...
as another school year comes to an end...
I can almost hear the audible *swish* as my kids finish another year of their education.
This weekend we are celebrating a 2-for-1 holiday on Sunday:
Mothers Day, and our wedding anniversary.
Paul and I are so appreciative of all that we have, and its value comes from that fact that we created all of this together - our business, our kids, our partnership.
We often speak about how blessed we are - and we never take it for granted.
Much of who we are came from our mothers, and we are grateful to have the matriarchs of the family available to our children.
My love of art and sewing comes from my 2 grandmothers, and my great-grandmother.
Paul was introduced to fabric shopping when his family went out to hunt and gather textile treasures.
My photographer's eye came from my grandpa, who was a shutterbug from the 1920's.
And Paul's love of art and music began with his Mom and Dad's passion for fine art and classical music.
I see how all of this flows through us and into our children.
My love of sewing and fabric came into sharp focus when I decided to get a degree in fashion design.
In the seventies, I discovered
Yves Saint Laurent in the pages of Vogue magazine in the library of my small town.
He was the first designer to use ethnic models in his runway shows, and the first to reference other non-European cultures in his work.
(Japan, China, India, etc.)
Ten years after I picked up my first copy of Vogue from the smalltown library shelves, I was jetting from Hong Kong to New York as an import design specialist, but the seed was planted when I first looked at those photographs of YSL's couture garments.
When Yves Saint Laurent died, I was just finishing my garment for the last
Bernina Fashion Show.
I realized that
the colors and design were inspired by my youthful fascination with YSL, and so I dedicated my entry to his memory.
Now the
retrospective of his work has opened at the Denver Art Museum.
This last week Donna Wilder and I went to see the exhibit.
We spent 2 1/2 hours just in this one exhibit, and could have easily stayed longer.
We both expect to go back at least once.
We agreed at the end, that it was as good as the
Alexander McQueen exhibit in NYC last year! So if you are coming to Denver before July 8, plan to visit the Denver Art Museum to see this absolutely stunning tribute to YSL's creative brilliance.
We now have
4 video interviews up from the Australia show, with 2 more being posted shortly.
Happy Mothers Day!
sharing your Passion for Fabric...
Luana and Paul
