Links to Enjoy #6

I'm sorry these link posts are so light on photos.  That's because I don't want to steal photos and violate copyright.   To make up for the absence of photos here, when you click through to most of the links, you'll be treated to bright beauty and delightful images. Enjoy!

These painted floors could almost be patterns for quilts.

I love the tones and tints and the arrangement of colors in these paintings.  They push me to consider other color combinations. 

Try the Chronophoto Photographic History Game:  guess the year the photo was taken.  Or just enjoy the old photos, taken between 1900 and 2020.  There seem to be more photos from recent decades than from the earlier decades of the 20th century.  You can enlarge the photos to see details. 

It's hard to believe these flowers and leaves were cut from paper in the late 1700s.  They look like modern prints to me.

I think Isobelle Ouzmann's altered blank books are amazing!

The Slant Book, published in 1910, shows the downhill ride of baby in a runaway "go-cart."  Curiously, the author and illustrator, Peter Newell, chose a rhomboid shape for that book to echo the slant of a hill.  But I think The Hole Book, by the same author, is funnier.  See all the pages of both books at the links.

I hope you find a link or two that you enjoy or that surprises or delights you.
