Though I can't understand a word of her website, I'm absolutely blown away by French artist Maissa Toulet and her very unconventional family trees, which are a hodgepodge of tape and photographs and what appear to be real leaves. I like to think they represent the eccentricities in every family - and the beauty of their bigger pictures.
See more at Maissa Toulet's website, here. Thanks, As Bright As Day.
Additional (unrelated) curiosities, just because:
-The world's best sandwich.
-Experimental Music on Children's TV.
-"I believe in kindness. Also in mischief."
These are excellent.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY love these and am now devising how I could make one for our family.
ReplyDeleteOhh I love a good shout out.
ReplyDeleteDana, thank you again!
ReplyDeletesuch a cool discovery!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful... and inspiring! I want to make a family tree like this.
ReplyDeleteI'm amazed! These are so perfectly simple and just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteOooh those are so cool! I've always wanted to make a family tree. Plus, it would make explaining how my family is intertwined so much easier! :)
ReplyDeleteOkay 100% inspired! I got really interested in family trees when I was in my teens, bought one of those lame books to fill out and since then have never look through it, pretty uninspiring :( On the other hand to have something like this framed on your wall would be amazing!
ReplyDeleteSo cool!!
ReplyDeleteCrazy awesome, I love it
