I wanted the drape to look like a kind of carapace from the side -- I think my results are mixed. Oh well, practice makes perfect!
While traveling on an extended trip around the country I spent several weeks in Big Bend National Park. First camped in the hot desert section and then moved to the much cooler Chisos Basin in the high country.
While there I found many wonderful landscapes but was drawn to the more intimate details like the way these older leaves drape gracefully over this boulder.

Peacock Themed Wedding Decorations – A perfect theme for Indian Weddings
Summer is one long road trip for the décor team at Maz Events and this weekend took us to our favourite haunts Alrewas Hayes again! If you’ve been following our blogs, the one thing you will realise is the wide variety of décor that we offer! We want every wedding to be different! We don’t just want our weddings to look like wallpaper! We want all our events to be noticed! So this week – we bring you images from our #PeacockThemed wedding @AlrewasHayes.
Our bride Palvi Kenth wanted an understated simple #IndianTheme for her wedding. Her Colours were all things peacock; lime green greens, fuscia, royal blue, teal, golds and purples. With this combination of colours; a stunning Peacock Themed mandap and #PeacockThemedReception was the most fitting tribute to create the magic and wow at this beautiful country venue. Our #PeacockMandap which is a #goldmandap was offset with shades of purples and pink flowers, the mandap was draped in royal peacock colours. The draped Peacock Mandap stood proud in the room and was the perfect centre stage for a traditional indian wedding ceremony.
The wedding reception followed a similar theme – #PeacockThemedBackdrop, stunning floral peacock table centres, an archway with a beautiful #floralpeacock, a glittered #LoveTable. What a fitting theme for a bride who wanted understated, classic, elegance. We LOOOVE working on all our customer’s projects; this wedding had all the elements that make a perfect wedding; our favourite venue Alrewas Hayes, an amazing bride, a stunning classical indian theme and a glorious summers day! Could life be any more perfect in the events world? We wait and see as we hit the rollercoaster month of August!
Elegantly draped over this man’s doublet, the raised collar of which is clearly visible, is a cloak like those worn by the ancient Romans. This gives the sitter an aristocratic air. Yet it is only an affluent citizen who is portrayed here: probably Vincent Coster, an Amsterdam ‘wine gauger’ (someone who calculated the excise duty on wine).
