Romani culture is slowly disappearing, but the UK Vardo Project is dedicated to preserving the few remaining Romani wagons or vardos.
Picking up a book by a Romani writer might surprise you for several reasons. First, it could be the voice of the character, which is emptied of
Chapeau de Napoleon - Centifolia Cristata Rose I especially love the detail in this beautiful watercolor...the various shades of pinks and greens. Her passion is roses and painting. From the Paris region, French artist, Hélène Glehen, paints with oils and watercolors. She credits her passion for painting to her great grandfather, artist Hiplpolyte Jean-Adam Gide (1852-1921). CLICK HERE to visit her website Old Roses in a Blue Bowl Roses anciennes dans un bol bleu ...softness... Note: If any of her pages are in French, you can translate them to English in the top right hand corner of the page...that is, unless you do read French, which I do not!

Recently I've been watching Peaky Blinders, it has rekindled my love for little traveling houses. As a child I remember falling hard for Mr.Toad's little yellow gypsy caravan. At one point I vaguely remember owning a toy Sylvanian Families gypsy wagon, or I may of looked at the image in the catalog so often that I imagined I owned it. It also could of been a Fabuland caravan. These guys were the cutest! As I got older my idea of a Caravan faded from the minimal decor of a Lego interior to the intricate patterns bright colors and textures of the gypsy wagons depicted in Carnivale. I often imagine my caravan could double as a painting studio or maybe a traveling art gallery. Below is the lovely art caravan by Marie Meier. http://duodesordre.tumblr.com/ Someday I could imagine having a home with one of these lovely painted wagons in the back yard. Circa 1902 Hearst Family Estate Gypsy Wagon There are a few movies I watched in hopes of getting some good caravan imagery. I remember carnival having some great caravans, but most of the scenes were very dimly lit. Carnivale has this great mystical, Twin Peaks feel to it. The characters are all awesome and the imagery is beautifully rich and grungy. They travel in wonderfully restored caravans. If you search you tube you can find a video of one of the un-restored German caravans that they bought for the show. For more beautiful wagons check out http://gypsywaggons.co.uk . This show also sparked my interest in Tarot cards.
