Birth of A Notion: The Accolade

Welcome to Birth of a Notion a blog that has a smattering of life but mostly a blog about the art of all things Letter writing. Fountain pens, Fine stationery (oh my favorite) and things pen pal related. You can check the blog wrap and the section that says We Support for Letter writing clubs and more information on all things letter.

The Accolade

This is one of my favorite paintings. It truly is. I absolutely love it. The gown is NOT 1600’s we are more into the 1300’s kind of era with this one. So it’s not “renaissance” by any means. However this is one of my favorite paintings, and I think this would make a lovely renewal vow dress. It is not purple at all ha but it is beautiful. And I could make the gold trim purple instead.

Okay so I just had to share this one.
