About
Bohemian Seaside Holiday 1920's - Artist Book
In the summer of 1923, a spirited young lady named Clara embarked on a seaside holiday that would forever alter the trajectory of her life. With her chestnut curls dancing in the wind and a flowy sundress adorned with vibrant prints, she arrived at a sun-drenched coastal village, filled with laughter and artistic fervor. Each day was a canvas, painted with the hues of adventure, as she mingled with poets, painters, and musicians who sought inspiration in the salty breeze. Evenings transformed the shoreline into a whimsical paradise, where bonfires crackled and the air was thick with the aroma of saltwater and sandalwood.
As inspiration flooded her senses, Clara began crafting a handmade artist’s book that captured the essence of her creative journey. She re-purposed a vintage cigar tin from her new friend Rex, lining its interior with rusted papers and swatches of beautiful vintage French fabrics. Each page came alive with rich textures, combining hand-dyed silks, scraps of a worn 1800s quilt, and remnants of vintage crochet. She adorned the spine with a whimsical antique cupboard door pull and secured the pages with old wire, beads and vintage buttons that she found strewn along the shore. Held within a charming 1920s leather purse, 3 little delicate hand-stitched textile scrolls, with snippets of rusted lace and worn cloth scraps, she collected during long walks on the beach.
Clara’s book became a treasure trove of her seaside memories, intertwining found objects and narratives from her bohemian adventure. It was a summer of discovery, where laughter echoed through the waves, and she embraced the vibrant spirit of the Roaring Twenties, forever changed by love, the magic of the sea, and the artistry it inspired.
