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 Laurel Art Nouveau iPhone 5 Case

Alphonse Mucha Laurel Art Nouveau iPhone 5 Case


Le Laurier (Laurel), 1901 by Alphonse Mucha. Original piece: color lithograph, 53 x 39.5 cm (20.9" x 15.6"). Like its companion piece Le Lierre (Ivy), the wonderful trompe l'oeil effect gives this piece an earthy, garden feel and a tactile appeal. You want to actually reach out and feel the texture of the tile mosaics. The Arts and Crafts Movement influence is stronger and the palette more restrained in these two pieces than in his other works, yet that lyrical Mucha magic is as potent as ever. I love the the marvelous greens against the rich browns accented with dusty lilac and goldenrod.
