Violetta in Amsterdam....Her Beautiful Illustration

the most wonderful thing about blogging is meeting unique, interesting, talented & lovely

women all around the world.  people who have the same interests as we do, or maybe

diametrically opposed interests...but in the mix we meet people we will never forget.

I have been very fortunate in this regard as most of you know.

I love talking about this to everyone I know.

today I want to share with you the talent of one of the sweetest people I've ever

met...Violetta Cordes.

Violetta is Russian, but now lives in Amsterdam, where she is a couture designer and

seamstress premier.  

but she is also an artist in another way, she can actually paint & draw.

below is her illustration of someone else's design for a fabulous wedding gown.

the gown will be made the finest silk & silk chiffon in palest ivory...& finished

with French lace fabric of the ultimate quality.

don't you just love the ethereal "butterfly" settling around the waist of the gown?

the bride saw Violetta's illustration and said,

"Yes, yes, this is definitely my dress."
