Frame: Classical

Another frame, this one more elaborate and unusual.  This one I adapted from an antique print of a well in Verona, Italy, with classical Roman style columns and carvings.  It took some doing but I think it makes a nice fancy frame to use for a journaling spot in scrapbooking, altered art projects, cards, even menus or invitations.  Something different to spark your imagination, I hope!

Serene Woman in Classical Costume

This is a gorgeous old Paris postcard of a woman in classical Greek or Roman dress.  I've cleaned it up and repaired it, and added some subtle tint.

This classical theme seems to have been popular for postcards in the Victorian / Edwardian era, for there are many of them in my collection.  I think the pose on this one is particularly pretty and serene.  She could be a goddess, a muse, or just a lady with her thoughts faraway.

Enjoy ~
