Inspired by Tove Jansson

One of my favourite books is The Book about Moomin, Mymble and Little My (Kuinkas sitten kävikään) by Tove Jansson. I got it for Christmas 1992 and at that time it felt exciting and a little bit scary. Now that I kind of found it again, I realized how great art it is: there are windows through pages that make the next/previous page part of the illustration, brilliant!

I got this silly idea to dress after the book's illustration and colors, and here is the first outfit. It was this vintage blouse that fit perfectly for the colour board and it has a knot on the collar, just like Little My :) The fur I had to add there because of the cold, and I think it takes the feeling to the 70's which is kinda funny. The lace-up shoes (typical to Little My) are vintage.

Have a nice weekend :)
