Being Creative - Differently!

Hello all you creative people! Yesterday I spent with my lovely girls in Wellington. We went to Te Papa (New Zealand's national museum) to view the wedding dress exhibition Unveiled: 200 years of wedding dress from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.

This exhibition is great value for money at $15.00. I think there were at least 30 dresses on display, great commentaries and a time to sit and watch some movie clips of royal and social weddings. There were heaps of people, both at the exhibition, and at Te Papa - I guess that as it was a national holiday, there weren't too many other places to go to and a lot of shops and eating places were closed!
We then went out to The Dowse in Lower Hutt for the Bedazzled exhibition: Royal NZ Ballet Costumes Designed by Kristian Fredrikson:

Kristian Fredrikson, Cinderella Ball Gown, 1991. Princess Odile from Swan Lake, 1985. Fairy Spring from Cinderella, 1991

This was a free exhibition - not so many costumes, but nevertheless, you could get up really close to have a look at the work (no touching though!) - and hardly any people!

Even though I haven't done any sewing (as yet, and the day isn't over!), I did use my camera, creatively!
I love this shot of the rocks at Worser Bay - looks like it could be reproduced using tyvek!

How about this single leaf? Great lines - could be reproduced in (almost) 3-D  :

And the colour inside this lily - I think the fairies have been at work:

Now - what about some sewing!
