Blue is Never out of Fashion
Fashions come and go, but blue is always a constant somewhere.
This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”. A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.
This week the theme, “blue” was chosen by Phunny, phunnyfotos.
Blue is my favourite colour and is representative in the fabrics I choose to have shirts made from. The fabrics in this image are: (right) William Morris’ “Earthly Paradise”, (top) “Forget me Not” cotton, (right) an Eighteenth Century calico print of “Poppies in Blue” and (bottom) “Chester Row” Tana Lawn from Liberty of London.
The sterling silver and turquoise guilloché enamel belt buckle in the middle is made by James Fenton and Company Silversmiths in Birmingham. It features Birmingham hallmarks for 1911 on the reverse.
Guilloché is a decorative technique in which a very precise, intricate and repetitive pattern is mechanically engraved into an underlying material via engine turning, which uses a machine of the same name, also called a rose engine lathe.
