Have You Met the Divine Ottoline?

Lady Ottoline Violet Anne Cavendish-Bentinck Morrell was friend, muse, and patron to a host of creative thinkers - philosophers, poets, sculptors, artists, authors - and left a trail of evidence of her existence recorded through the eyes of her creative friends - and through her own photography.

Many of Ottoline's friendships "resulted in published fiction", says Patricia Gaye Tapp - author/creator of the blog Ottoline Divine.

Read the Art Fashion Creation interview with P. Gaye Tapp at this link, to learn of Tapp's inspiration for Ottoline Divine, and her other creative interests - her design and decorating firm, Parthenia Papier cards, and her first blog - Little Augury.

If you enjoy history, fashion, documented social commentary, journals, vintage photographs, or reading of lives lived with panache - to meet Ottoline and read Ottoline Divine will be a pleasure.
