Hi everyone :)

This is my entry video for Pixiwoo's Creative Masterpiece contest.

For some reason, I have recently been drawn back to the art of Erte (1892-1990), a unique, vibrant artist and designer. I can guarantee more looks based on his fantastical wonderful art!

Born Romain de Tirtoff, Erte's name is derived from the french annunciation of his initials, R.T. Born in St. Petersburg, Russian, he lived and worked in Paris, Monte Carlo and Hollywood.

He was a driving force behind the development of the Art Deco movement.

Erte was multifaceted and prolific! An Artist, Illustrator, Fashion designer,Costume designer for theatre, opera, ballet and film, Theatrical set & stage designer and Contributor to Haper's Bazaar magazine. He did spectacular work for both the Folies Bergeres and Ziegfeld. And so much more! Go research for yourself :)

With a couple Halloween looks coming, this tutorial will be posted towards the end of October.

positivity, patience & quiet persistence

  • So professional!!!!

  • Lucky you! Now I'm going to have to have mine step his game up! lol.

  • LOL...yup. That was the deal we made when I moved in with my now hubby. I needed a creative space of my own. He has a studio space too :) Mine is a first floor room, with a computer desk, an art table, & an chaise lounge (big a** chair). I love it!

  • Oh you have a studio? How awesome is that!

  • LOL...I try to be patient. The real trick is to make sure I have enough time to hang out in the studio. Problem is I end up staying up waaaay toooooo late. :)

  • Wow, that's really cool! You must be very patient?!
