101 Things a Bright Girl Can Do

This is a series of embroideries where I have matched up old fashion prints with antique scientific images of plants, animals and obsolete technology..

This is a series of embroideries that are based on the illustrations from the 1847 book “Les Fleurs Animeees” The illustrations are by the early Victorian illustrator J.J. Grandville. This book is considered to be highlight of his career

These embroideries are based on images from medieval manuscripts: marginalia, illustrations and bestiaries.
