Le Cabinet du Chapelier des Fees

2 1/8" x 3 1/4"
12 pocket pages and 12 removable plates

A portfolio of eight prints depicting Steampunk fairy millinery, done in Photoshop collage. The faces are taken from Renaissance  portraits, and the headgear is cobbled together from human detritus. These little beings are, like their container's format, miniatures. They might be diminutive fairies from Shakespeare who survived into the Victorian era, scavenging for their fashions. Their millinery may be fanciful, but their faces look as though they just stepped out of A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Bound in Art Nouveau patterned paper with a spine of aqua bookcloth, and twelve pockets of translucent paper. The names of the models are pasted to the edges of the envelopes, and there is a paper title pasted to the front.
