I stumbled upon your lovely blog and was...Hi Grace<br /><br />I stumbled upon your lovely blog and was delighted to meet a fellow enthusiast, albeit one geographically a little further from the Pre-Raphaelite heartland than I am!<br /><br />Please forgive me if I’m pointing you towards resources that you are well aware of, but I’m proud that two galleries nearby [I live in the English Midlands] have excellent Pre-Raphaelite collections. These are the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, which has a wonderful online resource: www.preraphaelites.org/ and also Birmingham University’s art gallery, the Barber Institute: www.barber.org.uk/ <br />30 miles further south there is a very good [though small] museum dedicated to William Morris’ work in Broadway Tower: www.broadwaytower.co.uk/<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />Warm regards<br /><br />Daviddavid robertsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-80956278219226767492011-03-31T23:02:36.169-04:002011-03-31T23:02:36.169-04:00Whow!Have you ever seen Lady Curzon's Peacock ...Whow!Have you ever seen Lady Curzon's Peacock dress?Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421069895155350144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-73854516385147275262011-03-31T18:47:02.572-04:002011-03-31T18:47:02.572-04:00I love this gown-just gorgeous.

One of the most amazing pieces I ever got to work on was a Moss Green Velvet Fortuny with Venetian glass beads and Griffins silk screened all over it! Too much! I would love to be able to see this gown!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08587918375806691891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3857988142747792755.post-78244002216501422522011-03-31T15:55:50.602-04:002011-03-31T15:55:50.602-04:00I have been following the story of this unusual be...I have been following the story of this unusual beauty, and wish I could view it in person.
