I just bought another antique ledger and this one is even better than the last, it has layers upon layers of old paper glued upon the original handwritten pages, but because it is so old and delicate, the glue has dried and the top layers peel off really easily, leaving bits and pieces behind, so each page has layers and textures of old paper, including tiny glimpses of scrolly handwriting, as well as bits of old recipes and clippings. This collage is printed on one of those pages and features an antique botanical illustration of a clover wearing a regal crimson crown. The queen of the meadow. ♥

Hey there, thanks for leaving such a nice comment on my blog. I saw your work on Flickr and am glad to see you have a blog too.
I really love all the work you do, printing on vintage papers is such a creative twist! This one reminded me of a site I used to use tons when I was doing more digital work, http://etc.usf.edu/clipart/ you may already use it but it has a wealth of awesome vintage images.
I do have an etsy shop but it is currently out of commission. If/when I get it back up I'll let you know.
