Delft Blue Violin
This very pretty Violin can't be played.
It is for displaying and is Delft earthenware.
Because of it's uniqueness; it can lend itself to many themes not having to do with music,
including projects that use color shades of Blue.

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.

Three Kitty Cats sitting tall and pretty.
They all appear to be looking at the same thing in front of them.
Perhaps they are discussing who is going to catch what they are watching!

Antique Blue Glass Flask Bottle
This Blue Glass flask is thin on one side and vase shaped on the other.
The pretty blue glass even has realistic reflections.
It was painted in watercolor and has gouache and graphite.
This is a nice art piece as it is.
Or, try using it with other items to create whole new ideas.
The wide side looks like a vase and would be really good to include in derivative art.
Combine it with your favorite flowers or even digitally add a tree growing out of it.

This little antique / vintage butterfly was taken from plans for jewelry.
The color and the end piece remind me a tear.
This would make a great piece to create stickers or ephemera with.
