Inspired by...

This is an annual exhibition at the V&A, giving students in adult education a showcase for their projects based on items in the museum.A dress becomes a flower brick - why not? both are very 18th-century... (For the curious, information on mantua makers is here; flower bricks started out as a way of displaying individual tulips.)
Interesting how one thing metamorphoses into another....
This sinuous spoon won an award for Outstanding Commitment.
The kimono has echoes of the "rail fence" quilting pattern.
