A professional graphic designer who uses her background in art history and restoration to create everyday objects you can enjoy in your home or as wearable art. It's a joy to bring the best art and design of ages past into everyday life, plus invitations and DIY party projects. If you don't already share my love for artists and illustrators such as Alphonse Mucha, Edmund Dulac, Beatrix Potter, Carl Larsson and John Tenniel, perhaps you'll discover a new enthusiasm.

Alphonse Mucha Princess Hyacinth iPhone 5 Case

Alphonse Mucha Princess Hyacinth iPhone 5 Case

Alphonse Mucha's Princezna Hyacinta (Princess Hyacinth), 1911.

From the poster for the fairy tale ballet and pantomime production Princezna Hyacinta by Ladislav Novák and Oskar Nedbal presented in Prague during the 1911 season. The subject of the play was a blacksmith who dreamed his daughter was a princess kidnapped by a sorcerer. Andula Sedláková starred in the title role and the portrait of the celebrated actress dominates the poster, her blue eyes steadily fixed upon the viewer.

Decorative elements include hearts, blacksmith tools, a star-spangled crown and instruments of sorcery, all references to the ballet. A hyacinth motif appears throughout, most evidently on the circlet held in the actress's hands, and also in her exquisite jewelry. There are even hyacinth florets dangling from from the princess's marvelous crown. Colors include teal blue, teal green, cinnabar red, golden ivory, antique white and a touch of olive green. 

 A perfect gift for the princess in your life.  Matching items and more are available in our Art Nouveau Collection.
