Things I Love: Leo Fontan













































Leo Fontan was a French artist born in the late 1800s. I believe he did a lot of work creating postcards and theatrical posters.

I adore his treatment of the female form; delicate, provocative, and ethereal. Perfection.

Femininity is something I aim to embrace everyday and these are things I feel most embody the female being.

Cleanse

"On a detox loft through a Glendale Park over sidewalk chalk
Someone wrote in red, "start over"
So I muffled my scream on an Oxnard beach
Full of fever dreams that scare you sober
Into saltless dinners...





Hear the chimes, did you know that the wind when it blows
It is older than Rome
and our joy
and our sorrow."

Things I Love: Papercut Art

































I'm a big fan of Papercut Art in general and Tina Tarnoff's designs are some of the cutest I've seen in this domain.

Her original pieces are available at her etsy store here.

She also makes prints of her designs and turns them into some of the most adorable gift cards, small prints, brooches, earrings, and necklaces. Perfect little gifts or additions to the house. My favourite is the 'Autumn Kiss' design closely followed by the 'Peter Pan'. How gorgeous would that one be in a kid's bedroom?
