This particular piece drew me into Monsieur Qui’s street art portfolio:
I love his work with female faces…

Tina Cassati is on the short list of photographers I would gladly ditch my camera-shyness for if I ever had the chance to be photographed by her.
Lush adornments and a touch of surreal manipulation make for stunning portraiture…

Marcel Caram’s photostream is a vibrant, surrealist feast for the eyes.
It’s rather like Dali-gone-digital.

There is something special about seeing a classic piece of literature exactly as is came from the hand of its creator. Now you can view Frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s own original manuscript.
See the story of how she came to write the novel here if you’re not familiar. She said this about her inspiration:
When I placed my head on my pillow, I did not sleep, nor could I be said to think. My imagination, unbidden, possessed and guided me, gifting the successive images that arose in my mind with a vividness far beyond the usual bounds of reverie. I saw — with shut eyes, but acute mental vision, — I saw the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together. I saw the hideous phantasm of a man stretched out, and then, on the working of some powerful engine, show signs of life, and stir with an uneasy, half vital motion.
She was only 19 when she wrote this classic piece. Wow…what were WE all doing at 19?…not this!

Colorful, fun…and full of skulls and skeletons. Great stuff.

This week I’m starting a new phase of my medical journey, involving looooooong intake appointments, so I’m afraid I’ll have to give you a “wordless” DG post today!

Technically, these were featured as wedding centerpieces…but I happen to think they’d make a great decorative item in the home.
One could even “match” the plants to the theme of the book! I love the idea of literature blooming with life. It’s going on my craft to-do list.
