I have been having lots of fun knitting a series of vintage jumpers called Homage to Sonia Delaunay. This one is the > triangles composition < worn here with coral beads from my friend Barbara and green Bakelite opera beads from the grandmother of one of my Art pupils in Oxford before we moved to France. The butterscotch Bakelite beads were picked up for a song at a local brocante.
Earlier compositions from my > Homage to Sonia Delaunay < series can be seen at the following blog address

Side and front views. The cream silk block printed backdrop of butterflies and fans is original art deco fabric. It was one of many surprises in a box of treasures given to me by an actor who is enjoying her retirement in la belle France.
The skirt and top I am wearing are an original Raoul Dufy print from the same era as Delaunay's textile design.
