Spending a day with John McRae at the CASTLE is always like taking a bath in creative inspiration. Ideas and images get tossed across the shop, as we chat about new finds, discoveries and directions! Yesterday was no exception! John ALWAYS has something new up his sleeves! Here he is with one of his magical 'Optical Illusion Spring Tableau's', a truly enchanting Victorian style handheld folly, made from a convex mirror, miniature trees and foliage, dresden, and an antique handle. Look within - at the mirror - and you are immediately transported into a three dimensional illusion of a springtime tableau! Magic as only John can do!!!
