Hello! My name's Jane Jurinson, I'm 20 years old. Artsy-fartsy, dollist. Dreaming of life in a dollhouse. I created this blog for collecting miscellaneous beatiful stuff and just for things that impress me: graphics, Japan, flappers, rockers, dolls, pilots, uniform and much more. English isn't my native language so I can make horrible mistakes, but feel free to write me, I will be glad. Some links you can check out: Tumblr stuff I like My DeviantArt gallery My Flickr gallery

Beetles (here an Atlas beetle) keep their back wings hidden and protected under a hardened pair of front wings, The back wings are hinged so they can be folded away under the front wings, but this necessitates a “warm-up” period where the wings unfold before the beetle can take flight. The combination of the beetle’s weight and the need for folding and unfolding its wings leads a less-than-graceful flyer.

These gorgeous examples of decorated paper come from A Specimen Book of Pattern Papers Designed for and in Use at the Curwen Press (1928). While this paper most commonly would have been used as endpapers, Paul Nash explains in his introduction that he chose “pattern paper” as a more general term since this paper would also be used for book covers and jackets.

The 31 samples included in this book range from florals reminiscent of wallpaper to bold modernist wood engravings. They were designed by artists Lovat Fraser, Albert Rutherston, Margaret Calkin James, Thomas Lowinsky, E.O. Hoppé, Edward Bawden, Paul Nash, Enid Marx, Eric Ravilious, and Harry Carter.
