Inspired By... Loving Frank

Ready for the second card in my "Inspired By... Book Club" class?

Loving Frank is a novel following the scandalous relationship between architect Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheyney, the wife of one of his clients. Shortly after the turn of the century, when divorce was almost unheard of and suffrage was being passionately debated, the two fell in love and left their respective families to be together... a phenomenal scandal. The unique architectural vision of Frank Lloyd Wright and how Mamah influenced that vision make for a fascinating read, especially knowing that the novel itself is based on real-life events. This multi-layered card honours his vision, taking elements from several of his stained glass windows and the earthy colour pallet often used in his "prairie style" architecture. The verse inside also echoes the perfection Frank Lloyd Wright expected of both himself and others... "You only live once, but if you do it right once is enough".

If you would like to join my "Inspired By: Book Club" class on June 14th from 2-4pm, where we will make this card, the Twilight card/bookmark, and a soon-to-be revealed Eat, Pray, Love card, please contact me at either summer.burton@sympatico.ca or 519-672-5485.
