✨Side view with a peacock surprise ✨✨

A Victorian floor lamp I made for my office. This one is a full sized crescent made from silk velvet, silk chiffon and a whole lot of beads. I have to say she looks pretty regal in front of my @elliecashmandesign walls. ✨

Side view 💡

Of all my weird niche hobbies this is the one I love this most. This is a Victorian lampshade I made by hand. It started as a metal frame and now it’s here 🙌🏻 I have more of these at various stages of completion and I will probably sell some once I have too many in my own house. Long live tedious, detail handwork.

Last night of the Immortal Beethoven cycle at the LA Phil. In 10 days I went to the Walt Disney Concert Hall 5 times. In 5 shows I saw 9 symphonies performed by over 100 musicians. It was like a marathon except I exerted almost no physical energy and drank much less water. 🙏

Beethoven’s 5th and 6th symphony tonight. Someone started clapping in between movements and got aggressively shushed. ✌️😎✌

Beethoven’s 9th symphony tonight. Having to see this one out of order had me like 😏. This is what I wore.

Tonight I heard the LA Philharmonic play Beethoven’s 3rd & 4th symphonies. If you think their gonna cycle all 9 of Beethoven’s symphonies and I’m NOT gonna go to every one then you’re dead wrong! This is what I wore; a 1930’s day dress I found in London.

I am working very hard on the notes for everyone who bought my book on its 1st birthday! I hope to have them all done and mailed by the end of this week! Petunia is not working hard and is doing a lot of this, for which I’m not responsible and can’t control.

Happy 1st Birthday to my book, The Daily Face!! If you order it from now until end of day tomorrow and send the purchase receipt to thedailyfacemakeup@gmail.com I’ll send you a handwritten note with a surprise Polaroid of something funny (probably Petunia in a hat)! Buy it HERE
