Last night was my company Holiday Party, and we're doing really well, so it was held at the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston)

I was so happy that also included the Styled by Sargent exhibit, of John Singer Sargent paintings and the actual articles of clothing alongside them.

Now, you have probably seen this painting of Lady Macbeth

But have you seen the costume she's wearing??

It's gorgeous, obviously.

But that texture! It's *crochet*

And some knitting

Really simple crochet too; just a chain and single crochet lattice with beads and metallic thread added for this chain mail effect.

Despite John Singer Sargent being an expert painter of fabric (no, really, just look at it), I never knew Lady Macbeth's costume had to be *hand crocheted* for that texture in the painting.

Anyway I'm gonna be making myself some faux-chainmail by crocheting it for the next Renn Faire

just some ramblings of a sleep deprived lunatic, but

my favourite painting is carnation, lily, lily, rose.

The painter is John Singer Sargent.

A book in my favourite series is Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater. One of the main characters' last name is Sargent.

Maggie Stiefvater is not only an author but also an artist herself. It's not too far fetched that she knows Sargent's paintings.

I know this could all just be coincidences since the title of the painting itself is inspired by a song and Sargent could just be a random name, but i like to believe there's an invisible string connecting beautiful things in my life.
