Thank you Erik for sharing this information with us --Previous Message-- : I have just spoken to Charlotte Lynggaard : about the Midnight Tiara and the head dress : of the Grand Druid of Brittany. She told me : she has never seen the image of the Grand : Druid before. The design process was : inspired by the leaves in her garden and in : nature. With this tiara she wanted to make : something like a fairytale, something never : seen before. So she designed something you : wear when the moonlight is there, in the : middle of the night. : : She also mentioned the Swedish illustrator : John Bauer (1882-1918) as an inspiration. : When you look at his work, which is typical : for the turn of the century/art nouveau, it : coincides with the heydays of Celtic : revival, which used art nouveau as prominent : style as well. : : It is perfectly well possible that two : people separated in time and space come up : with something very similar. This happens in : art all the time (especially if you take : nature as inspiration, like art nouveau : does), just as this happens in literature : and language as in other art forms. : : : John Bauer :
