Beautiful French Ephemera & Digital Art

 A While Back I Received a

 Beautiful Antique French Document dating 1848

and some French Money Orders

 with Wonderful Typography. Also these Gorgeous Stamps

They Came from a New Friend in France.

 

 I can't Tell you how amazing it is to Hold 

a Handwritten Document from 1848. 

I  thought it would be Fun to Look up 

what was Happening in France during this time.

They were in the Midst of another Revolution 

where  Louis Napoleon Bonaparte 

( Nephew of Napoleon)

was Elected the President of the Second  Republic.

I Find this so Interesting!

 

Here is some Digital Fun I had with 

These Beautiful Old Pieces of Ephemera.

 Crowns & Butterflies...

 Bees & Keys...

Baroque Borders and Beautiful Script!

Some of my Favorite things!

Have a Wonderful Sunday Everyone !

~*Butterfly- A Poem Book*~ Inspire for Paper Whimsy

~Butterfly,
I Like the Way You Wear Your Wings.
Show Me Their Colors,
For the Light is Going.
Spread Out Their Edges of Gold,
Before the Sandman Puts Me to Sleep
 And Evening Murmurs By.~

Poems By a Little Girl

 A Little Poem Book For Inspiration.

But I must Say That 

Hilda Conkling Poetry is Inspiration in itself!

 Growing Up In Northampton Massachusetts 

in the early 1900's, 

Hilda Began Displaying  her talents 

to Her Parents through Songs

At the Age of Four.

Her Mother Diligently
putting Down to Paper
 her Creative Verse. 

And By the age of Merely Ten years old,

 she Published Her First Poetry Book

 Poems By a Little Girl.

Her Works Lend Themselves so well 

to Mixed Media  Art I think.

 April is National Poetry Month
so I thought it would be Fun 

to  Create a Piece centered 

around a Poem.
