Style Imitating Art-The Nebra Sky Disk

Welcome to the second Style Imitating Art challenge for 2021.

About Style Imitating Art

Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey, Daenel of Living Outside the Stacks and me. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday one of us selects an inspiration image and we each post the image on our blogs. The following Monday we share our art-inspired outfits. The following Wednesday, the curator shares all of the submissions on her blog.

This Week’s Presenter

Today, Salazar of 14 Shades of Grey’s is the curator.

This Week’s Inspirational Image

Salazar has picked The Nebra Sky Disk. a disk dating back from the Bronze Age (or possibly the Iron Age), featuring the oldest depiction of the cosmos in the world. It is so called because it was found in the town of Nebra in Germany.

Salazar picked this work because lately she has been quite interested in the cosmos motif in clothes and jewelry lately, and the colors (blue-green and gold) are beautiful too.

Will You Join In the Fun?

I hope this art inspires you to create a look and that you will join us. Send a photo of your SIA inspired outfit along with a small blurb on how you were inspired to Salazar whose email is 14shadesofgreyblog.com by January 26th. She share the submissions on her blog on Wednesday January 27th.

Anyone can participate and you certainly do not have to have a blog.

Retiring after thirty-two years as a K-12 visual arts teacher, Terri Gardner now devotes time to a long and early interest: fashion. With her blog, MeadowTree Style, Terri advocates for developing a personal and creative style. She encourages finding fashion in ethical ways such as shopping at consignment/thrift shops, creating it yourself, as well as supporting local designers. Her second blog, Time for Poodles and Friends, advocates for rescued animals. Her interests dating from childhood led to her sense of fashion, doing, and living. These interests include sewing, spinning yarn, knitting, design, and giving space for animals. She lives on a small Missouri farm with her husband, a large garden, and several animals including chickens and ducks, dogs and cats, and Shetland sheep and Alpacas. For her beloved rescued dogs, Terri created dog accessories and made them available under the label Sophia & Niko–Exclusive Design for the Distinctive Dog. View more posts
