(Disposable, polaroid, lomography...I have quite a soft spot for experimental photos. Here is a smattering of double exposures I collected to supplement yesterday's post!)

stuffed animals
I think my fascination with taxidermy was predetermined by growing up in the Midwest where hunting is the game, and deer heads are your trophies. Though I've never fired a rifle in my life, and have little interest to, my allure to this peculiar art form manifested in an ever-growing collection of butterflies and moths. After studying abroad in London, I met a fellow taxidermy enthusiast, Basia who showed my some PRIME taxidermy in Paris (specifically, Deyrolle. You can make your own butterfly shadowboxes! Ah!) Think roaring tigers, frolicking zebras, iridescent beetles and gigantic moths, all frozen in time. There is just something eerily magical about it. Anyway, I recently stumbled upon another take on taxidermy that is even more magical...Netherlands based Les Deux Garçons (Michel Vanderheijden van Tinteren and Roel Moonen) created a collection of whimsical beasts mixed with millinery, found objects, and toys. I ♡ THESE. I hope you find them as dazzling :)

Charmed Life
I found these two photos in a dusty corner in an antique shop not too long ago. I love those white flower plumes. They reminded me of popcorn balls, or dainty lace doilies--which have been on the brain lately (the lace, not the popcorn balls. Ok, maybe the popcorn balls...) I'm thinking tea stained summer dresses? Yes sir. Something that would look just as nice as that sassy little girl scowling amongst the hydrangeas...
