Description A card design for the season. The lady is Jane Burden Morris, muse of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, wife of William Morris, but in an Art Nouveau setting, two of my favourite periods in art.

I have to say, I'm a big fan of the Pre-Raphaelites.

Anyway, as an inkscape dev, I find your use of inkscape to be awesome. Keep up the good work!

Thank you Troy! The font is "Chelsea Studio". The shoulders thing- a full figured woman by today's standards, but in vogue in Jane's day. I hope you have a lovely holiday and a fabulous New Year! Infinite blessings!

i love how you put your catch phrase in there i love art nouveau, esp the really big haired ones where the hair is a part of the logo. that was real graphic design, real talent i love (which will sound very odd, but i'm currently working on this...) the lighting on her cheeks, and the feathers are wonderful.

Thank you! My cousin asked me about my phrase, and my reply was, "Who wants to be only partially blessed?" Besides, you should want for others what you want for yourself (: I like what Mucha did with hair...the hairmeister, ha! He made it look like an ornament, which was fabulously clever. The Art Nouveau artists were definitely the graphic design masters! They were much influenced by Ukiyo-e and in turn "Japonisme" became it's own unique style. Aubrey Beardsley is another amazing Art Nouveau illustrator, and Ralph Kirchner...too many to mention! Girly, right there with ya on the endeavor (:

Hope you have a lovely holiday season and a fabulous New Year! Infinite blessings!
