This is an illustration from book called Time
by Francois Le Lionnais.
bought yesterday for £1.75p from a second hand bookstore.
It fascinated me I love all, well most of the images and there are some great quotes.
Thought I'd share a few of the images.

Steampunk?
I love this one! "Puffa goddess of time and eternity, seated on a lotus and surmounted by the sun"
This is from the 13th century from a treatise on astrology written in Arabic with a Persian artist.
left: Scorpio passing into the sign of Jupiter. Right the sun holding the glittering floral orb around his head.
Sue Roddis might like this one.
"The resurrection of the body" by Lucas Signorelli (1441-1523)
I don't think I'll be reading the book from cover to cover but will certainly be dipping in!
I intended to buy books for ripping and tearing but this one will be staying intact...
could possibly be scanned though! :))

Hi Suzi
Have the most fantastic birthday tomorrow. Lunch and antiques sounds just perfect!
The weight thing can be so depressing.
I tell myself....got to do something or I'll just keep on getting bigger...that I don't want.
Like in Charlie and the Chocolate factory when the girl blew up into a blackberry or something.
Now, I will go back and study your post for today. It all looks amazing.
Thanks for your sweet comment.
