Style Imitating Art…
It’s time for another round of Style Imitating Art! A few years ago, I joined Shelbee and Salazar as curators for SIA. We begin with a piece of art, create looks based upon that art, and share them on our blogs. Think of it as fashion meets art museum! Anyone and everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in on the fun. You don’t have to be a blogger to participate, either! I selected our inspiration artwork this week.
How it works…
Here are the details: Every other Monday, one of us will select a piece of art. That is shared via all three co-hosts’ blogs. On the following Monday, all three share their looks on their blogs. If you choose to participate, send a photo to the curator for that particular week. You, as well as the other participants, will be featured on the curator’s post that Wednesday. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy! If you decide to play along this time, please send your photo to me by Tuesday, June 30th at 10:00 pm EST to be included. I hope you will join us! I think this could be the best way to start something new! Remember, you don’t have to be a blogger to be a part of this. You can snap a photo and send it in. We love to have readers join in on the fun, too.
Why…
I follow Greetja of No Fear of Fashion, and she mentioned this artist. So, I went looking for his art. It seems he leans toward Art Nouveau and was a lithographer, illustrator and graphic designer. I picked this piece because I really think storks are beautiful, and the colors just spoke to me. I almost picked one that was irises, but since we’d just done that, I skipped it. I hope to find out a lot more than what is on the Wikipedia page! But, isn’t this piece just gorgeous?

I don’t think I’ve heard his name before. I’m looking forward to learning more about him!
