Its pictures like this Paper Flower Making Kit (from France c.1900) that make me swoon with desire and raise my pulse! Just look at all those flower tools, ink filled bottles and bits and pieces of who knows what... It is described thus: "A colorful cache of artificial flower maker's equipment filling three contempory wooden boxes. Contents include: paper and ribbon remnants, flower and foliage parts in various fabrics, bobbins of wire, and glass water droplets for application to flowers or leaves in a contemporary fitted box. Of particular interest are a number of wooden handled tools, including iron balls and hooks, tweezers, metal hand stamps and roller stamps, and over thirty period glass tint bottles, many from la Maison Ardouin. There is additionally a copy of ART DE CONFECTIONNER LES FLEURS ARTIFICIELLES by Mme. BL.*** which includes a catalogue of tools and supplies, and also a trade catalogue, TARIF DES FOURNITURES POUR FLEURS ET FEUILLAGE, from the prominent supplier to the trade, JAVEY & Cie." I am in a faint... If you have $2000.00 to spare, here - www.gardenhistory.com/gallery.html - is where you can buy this collection of wonders. As I am one of those who do not have such a sum to send away, I will drool at the photos and imagine myself using such glorious instruments of creativity...

I am a big fan of French Illustrator Frederic Clement. So it was a real treat to discover that he has a blog! (And now he comes to visit my blog as well!) I use a translator to read his blog, and it appears to be a new way for him to share his poetic thoughts and playful imagery. He is perhaps best known here in America for his book The Merchant of Marvels, a delightful and inspiring book filled with images of gifts only a true artist could create... Such as "the tip of Pinocchio's nose", "Shadow of a little prince" and my favorite - "Cinderella's peals of laughter and shards of her glass slipper." But it is his older illustrated books that I really adore. Many of his illustrations hint at the Commedia dell'Arte, with a poetic dreamy feel that captures your imagination. I love his use of painted texture, faux finishes, and shadowy colors. He obviously adores costumes and festivities, as much as I do, since these play prominent in most of his books. I am grateful that he is so prolific as I seem to always be hungry for more!
These delightful creations are by British Milliner Juliet Fawcus!
