I just love these images from Karen at Graphics Fairy. Here's what she said about this one:
Swoon! I am so in love with this! This is the title page of an early (circa 1851) rare book, called "The Poetry of Flowers". I just can't get over how gorgeous this is! I was so happy to acquire it so that we can all use it! I love the classic lines of the urn with the profusion of flowers trailing around it, and then of the course the wonderful typography, is the icing on the cake. This image is in it's original form with charming torn edges and all. I hope you all like it as much as I do!

Savannah


This is Savannah, another of my spool doll series. Her torso is an antique wooden spool; the rest of the body is hand sculpted polymer clay. Her yellow and cream sunsuit and bonnet were made from a vintage doll dress that I cut up and remade. I guess you could say that she is a genuine recycled, repurposed doll. She is six inches tall on a 4" square base.
