I really love this doll, and while I think she's beautiful mine has a few flaws. A common thing is how poorly done the bangs are, so I guess it isn't just a problem with mine. This doesn't seem to be an issue with the classic dolls so I wonder why it is with this limited designer doll. Second, mine has a couple of gashes on the left side of her head near her neck. They aren't that noticeable but still, I wish they weren't there. Other than that she's pretty sweet. Granted I'd have liked to of seen her in more of a silver-grey scheme like in the film, but I think the purple and gold is stunning so I really wouldn't change it. While I love the embroidery, it's really the print on the underskirt that makes the dress for me, and I do love that she has her shawl too! In fact the only thing I would change (other than the sloppily executed bangs), is the head mould. I wish she had the newer mould that is in the Deluxe Doll Set and the JCP Rose and Phillip Set, as I feel it's a superior and more beautiful mould. She still has the awkward hip joints, so I'm starting to wonder if maybe my Rose and Maleficent from the Doll Set were just an oddity. The Frozen Skating set has the awkward hips as well. Maybe the Doll Set was produced in the factories more recently and that's why it has both the better hip joints and the newer head mould, I hope, but I'm not counting on it either. Anyhoo, I really love that we have an interpretation of her in her peasant dress, so refreshing.

Tutti noi abbiamo goduto di una pausa sulla panchina di un parco. Le panchine sono quanto mai varie, ma la versione integralmente in legno con schienale ad assicelle verticali e sedile ad assicelle orizzontali è la più diffusa e la meno influenzata dalle mode alle quali è soprawissuta durante le varie epoche. Il suo status di panchina archetipica è stato confermato dal suo uso per la famosa statua sulla Old Bond Street di Londra, The Allies, in cui lo scultore Lawrence Holofcener immortalò Franklin Roosevelt e Winston Churchill seduti su di essa. Una struttura simile si riscontra anche in altre panchine e panche inglesi del XVI secolo, ma fu l’epoca vittoriana a tenere a battesimo la panchina da parco come la conosciamo oggi. Ouando, con la rivoluzione industriale, le città iniziarono a espandersi, i filantropi del ceto industriale investirono denaro nella creazione di parchi pubblici. Anche i parchi Reali furono aperti e ampliati per soddisfare la moda vittoriana della passeggiata, che a sua volta prevedeva la necessità di sedersi su qualcosa di poco costoso ma al contempo robusto. Le panchine erano in quercia, talvolta in tèk, alcune delle quali realizzate con assi recuperate da navi da battaglia smantellate. ~origine del design è più difficile da rintracciare. Il XVIII secolo conobbe la pubblicazione su ampia scala di campionari, che consentirono agli artigiani locali di assecondare i gusti dei nobili di campagna Grazie alla circolazione dei modelli, l’umile panchina divenne il prodotto di punta di molte aziende. In anticipo sul movimento Arti e Mestieri, la panchina incarna la schiettezza dell’approccio ai materiali di Ruskin e Morris. Assemblata con mortase e giunti a tenone di grande resistenza, intagliati in spesse tavole di legno con decorazioni ridotte al minimo, la panchina offre una presenza discreta, quasi rassicurante. Le placche commemorative e le incisioni sono diventate un’aggiunta piuttosto comune. Nel XVIII secolo le panchine dei giardini ornamentali e pittorici all’inglese erano talvolta inscritte con alcuni versi di poesia, scelti con lo scopo precipuo di favorire la contemplazione del panorama. Il lascito in eredità di panchine per parchi municipali da parte di privati in memoria dei propri cari protrasse questa tradizione. Di recente i designer hanno addirittura ideato panchine dotate di dispositivi elettronici che consentono di ascoltare musica, poesie o perfino accedere a Internet.

Worn by: Clive Owen as Walter Raleigh
Costume Designer: Alexandra Byrne
Film: Elizabeth: The Golden Age
An Elizabethan man of average means - and Raleigh is as commoner - would, in all probability, possess a single suit of clothes, so production did not have the luxury of outfitting him as they would their courtiers. Byrne explains, "There are lots of contemporary engravings of Raleigh, but the reality is that a gentleman of that time maybe had one suit of clothing - he would have gone to sea in those clothes, where they would have gotten wet, then dried, they would have gotten torn, they would have been repaired. So we worked with the idea that his clothes had gone to sea with him and they had evolved of the the journey... and remember, it was four months there and four monthes back."
The designer worked with Clive Owen on the evolution of the design, assuring him that "the britches would be fine! He was a little alarmed by them. But by the end of production, I think he was quite keen on them, the way they have become a part of him. They give you a certain way of walking and a certain scale. He wears them like no one else!"
Costumes displayed courtesy of Universal Pictures International, celebrating the release of Elizabeth: The Golden Age, only at the movies November 15.

Jekka’s designs look spectacular and we cannot wait to see these brought to life and shared with our many visitors. The Health & Wellbeing Garden will no doubt be a real highlight of RHS Malvern Spring Festival 2017 and for many years to come.”
Throughout the 4-days of RHS Malvern Spring Festival, Jekka will host daily ‘herb conversations’ in the garden, unearthing hidden gems from the world of alternative therapies, food and gardening. Jekka will also provide insights into herbs as the foundation of modern medicine, seeking to preserve the knowledge that over time is danger of being lost.
The Health & Wellbeing Garden is in support of Pathways, a work-focused day service for adults with learning disabilities and difficulties. Pathways use gardening and the environment as an educational tool to introduce young adults to the working world. Clients of Pathways benefit from gaining vital skills for entering the working world, these include trust, communication, interaction with peers, taking direction and responsibility for themselves and others.
Leaving a legacy, Jekka’s garden will provide Pathways with a nurturing space to continue their works in encouraging clients to grow. Throughout the show times, Pathways will sell plants and refreshments from the garden. Funds raised from these sales go towards covering the costs of the residential trip taken twice each year for clients of Pathways, a vital retreat for clients that contributes to their sense of wellbeing. Outside of show days, Pathways and local schools will host sessions in the garden. The garden aims to inspire visitors of all ages and abilities with engaging elements tailored for all.
Jekka’s design will incorporate the unique and flexible WoodBlocX system, specially selected to provide permanent raised bed structures to house the garden’s vast selection of herbs and edibles. The centrepiece of the garden contains four large planted sections featuring smooth curves constructed from the unique WoodBlocX system. WoodBlocX use sustainable, long-lasting, organic and FSC accredited wooden bricks, which can be used to create any shape such as the naturally fluid curves seen in Jekka’s elegant design.
