drawing | rara avis

a rare bird, in flemish called rare vogel, truly is a common enough expression with us. i remember it best used when we were in our teens. about anything and anyone around us back then were rare vogels. 

funnily enough pinterest research on the subject {yes, i did need inspiration} comes up with iris apfel. having been born from a glass-mirror manufacturer dad & a fashion design business mum, miss iris became an uncommon style icon, founding a.o. old world weavers. i am getting side-tracked, however. {lady in image, deffo not miss iris, but she might've liked her.}

now. anything uncommon makes my day. {little did i know when i was a child}. thxs to cerulean's exciting theme this weekend though, i now found myself a few more inspiring pinterest pages. so, thank you, eric.

i started out this morning, sketching my jacket, making it longer. 
·
tonight i cut, clipped and glued magazine words to a dreamy winter's coat. 
·
the tiny snippets collaging woke me up again, on this slow, late evening. 
·
i'd LIVE in this coat. i would. 
·
even if it is a rara avis. ...
·
anyway.
· 
back in the shower tomorrow, for what looks like the finishing top row. ... 
·
enjoy the weekend.
