Old Book Cover

This book cover is from our Special Collections Department. The book is about forests and trees, but I don't know the title, as it is part of an exhibit and the labels haven't been posted yet. I love the way the illustration is so detailed. The gold against the blue background gives it a bold yet at the same time delicate quality.

Valentines Wishes


A few years ago I really got into making collages with ladies fashion plates from the 1800s. This lovely lady is one I did, adding butterfly wings; which was sort of a big thing then. I hope you like her!
