This flower study features a Rose, a Heartease, a Sweet Pea, a Garden Pea,
and a Lax- flowered Orchid.
It will make a nice art print just as it is or,
soften the edges for a more romantic mood.

Carousel Woman
Some carousels had large steam whistles; called calliope,
hidden inside figures such as this well balanced lady.
She will also go well with a Circus theme.

This dress is from the 1930's.
This drawing could have been for showing a Winter & Summer version of the dress.
It is nice piece to print as is.. or taken individually-
the clothing can be used across pages to unite a project into a theme.
With a little more time invested; they would make a great wardrobe set for paper dolls.

Lady Reading Framed with Flowers
Music, Books, & New-year's 1903
This appears to be a poster ad.
It feature a woman reading a book, she is surrounded with a frame of flowers.
The flowers through her hair unify the image so that the
frame of flowers does not distract by standing out on its own.
A stringed musical instrument and music sheets are along the bottom.
There are hints of the New-year with stars and hints of
Christmas with round bulb-like circles.
A dreamy, fantasy feeling is created with her hair flowing in the breeze.
Her clothing repeats the silky flowing movement.
Bookmarks hanging down and the strings below that hang from the instrument
give the mind the illusion that the stars between are hanging from the sky.
