Beautiful

 This week the theme is Beautiful.

I was thrilled to find this beautiful vintage book recently.  

It's called 'A Butterfly Chase' and the detail in it really is beautiful. 

 I  photographed the gold embossed cover and the inside front page with some butterflies from my Victorian collection of dead things!

Colours of 2013 - Turquoise and Gold

I've been taking part in Eva Ricci's Colors of 2013, and for November's photo collage the colours to capture were turquoise and gold.  Feeling this was going to be a tricky month I very luckily found this beautiful tin in a local antique shop, and it matched perfectly with the sari silk and other bits and bobs I had tucked away in my studio!
