The Tuxedo


The tuxedo has arrived! Charcoal grey silk trimmed with black silk; luscious.
.
Of course we're talking here about Orchid's wedding in 2010 and the tuxedo for the big day is hardly big and certainly not people sized. A.D. and I have been searching diligently for probably a year in order to find one of the right quality in the right size. Finally, we found one. People say, "Where did you get it?"
.
I tell them the truth: Arkansas.
.
This black and white ink is another illustration by the 'gone but not forgotten' Harry Clarke. It might have been one of the renderings which we used to create Alabaster.
.
Just imagine: the tuxedo fits Alabaster perfectly....
