Brownie Plaque

My trusty knife attacked my thumb this week while I was preparing wooden plaques. Actually, I shouldn't blame the blade as it was user error and I did something I shouldn't have. I'm promising myself to being much more careful. A shout out to Chris, one of Sushipot's awesome-est patrons, for sending me cool band-aids for boo-boos such as these! I'm putting 'em to good use ;) This brownie plaque and a handful of others will be posted in the shop over the weekend.

Prickly Plaques

I finished up a fresh assortment of prickly plaques over the weekend. They will be posted in the shop throughout the day. Send me a message if you see one you would like to reserve. Enjoy!

Prickly Plaques

Another transplant from this French volume on anatomy and dissection. I finished up six prickly plaques this week and have the numb fingers to show for it. Those cut tacks 'round the edge are not gentle folks! Soon as I finish editing photos the plaques will be in the shop.

Anatomy Art Plaques

Anatomy Man, wood plaque with 1847 physiology illustration

This week I'm sprucing up the selection of prickly plaques in the shop. A few more anatomical plaques and some of the popular paper doll plaques will available by Friday.

Mother Goose Plaques

Seriously tacky plaques for the kid-at-heart-with-a-slightly-dark-side. I do not recommend hanging these in the nursery due to their ninja star-like qualities. The imagery is from a 1930's Mother Goose book. These prickly plaques along with a few other paper doll plaques will be sprinkled into the shop over the weekend.

Botanical Plaques

Among my collection of treasured ephemera are a few tattered, hand-colored lithographs from Lorenz Oken’s extensive 13 volume series „Naturgeschichte für alle Stände“ (Natural History for all Social Ranks) which was published in 1843 in Stuttgart, Germany. This botanical plaque and a couple others will be added to the shop today along with some anatomical plaques too.

Prickly Heart Plaque

This prickly plaque depicting the circulation of blood throughout the human body was posted in the shop this afternoon along with a couple of other anatomical heart plaques. Yep...still time to get one of 'em for Valentines Day next week (within the USA)....just place your order by Friday morning, February 8th.

Paper Doll Prickly Plaques

Three French paper doll prickly plaques were photographed and posted in the shop today. A few more anatomical plaques should be ready tomorrow. My favorite of this trio is the 'lil beach-goer with the sand pail 'n red shoes.

French Paper Doll Plaques

I've been holding onto (hoarding?) some exquisite French paper doll plates. They are from the world renowned Imagerie d'Epinal, Imagerie Pellerin studios of France which date back to 1796. From what I can gather, this series of paper dolls, Poupées à Habiller, was created as a series of four plates published in the late 1800's. Since I recently discovered they were just the right size for my little plaques, I decided to stop hoarding and share a few of them via Prickly Plaques.

A fresh batch of anatomical prickly plaques are in the shop today.
