The second book of CVAR - Severis Foundation series "The objects… speak" (Τα αντικείμενα...μιλούν) has taken print form! "The Wedding Dresses" (Τα Νυφικά) illustrated story book is based on actual historical outfits from the museum's collection and it will es**rt a touring museum kit around Cyprus public schools this autumn.
It was my pleasure to sketch and recreate the fine details of the wedding dresses - while in lockdown - and give them each their own character. Thank you to CVAR, and Rita Severis for your trust in me illustrating Natasa Charalambous's story and I can't wait for "The Wedding Dresses" to reach children around Cyprus and spark their imaginations and interest in culture and history!
