In a mad world, simple creative pleasures are golden. I still have many of the paper dolls I collected as a child and Clare Hunter writes about this amongst other things in her wonderful new book Making Matters. I love this late #1840s Jenny Lind set #cooperhewitt #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Fragment (England); silk, metallic thread, 18th Century, from the collection of @cooperhewitt

Embroidery on damask gives this such a lovely depth.

#bloomscrolling #embroidery #creativeinspiration #damask #antique #cooperhewitt
Embroidery of a flowering plant (yellow flowers with four petals), and a winged insect (looks a mix of dragonfly and butterfly with blue wings and yellow body), as well as a little spider. The colors are warm toned, the design embroidered on a creamy floral damask background which gives it depth.

Late afternoon scene on the sidewalk in a large city, facing a tall, black iron gate surrounding a famous museum; on the gate, there is a large advertisement for the museum which it surrounds which reads "Good Design Also Lives Online" referring to the museum's website cooperhewitt.org; there is also a photo of a late 90's vintage iMac computer, with its mouse, keyboard, and "Aero" monitor, an example of a very cool retro design; the massive Georgian Revival 1902 mansion building was built for tycoon and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie Mansion, and is home to the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum; the floor is relatively clean and the sky is mostly cloudy.

Pair of Earrings, ca. 1950. Art Smith (American; 1923–1982). Gold. Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, New York. “I see jewelry as bold—as an integral part of the face, arm, or body. It should be incomplete until it is on, related to the body.” — Art Smith #ArtSmith #CooperHewitt
