Art, Crafts, Fashion, Photography, Virginia Woolf

© Joan Currie – Journal cover

What sort of diary should I like mine to be? Something looseknit and yet not slovenly, so elastic that it will embrace anything, solemn, slight or beautiful that comes to mind. I should like it to resemble some deep old desk, or capacious hold-all, in which one flings a mass of odds and ends without looking them through.
by Virginia Woolf

I created my journal cover (above) with a painted section of fabric from a vintage Joseph Ribhoff jacket.

[The history of most women is] hidden either by silence, or by flourishes and ornaments that amount to silence.  Virginia Woolf

It is time to be the heroine of our own stories.

It is in our idleness, in our dreams, that the submerged truth sometimes makes it way to the surface. – Virginia Woolf

The bedroom is my special place for meditation and rejuvenation.

Passing, glimpsing, everything seems accidentally but miraculously sprinkled with beauty, as if the tide of trade…had this night cast up nothing but treasure.
Virginia Woolf

As I peered in the windows of a millinery shop last night, Virginia Woolf’s voyeuristic essay, Street Haunting: A London Adventure came to mind. My imagination conjured up fantasies about who might buy these hats and to what occasions they would be worn. The mannequins appeared eerily lifelike.
