We bought these at an antique warehouse today, they appear to be gouache on thick watercolour paper / board, and then varnished. They make a great looking couple:-) They were £10 each ! which I think was a real bargain......

Medea moly 42
Medea , wife of the greek hero Jason, a formidable sorcerer .....restored full youth and vigor to Jasons father Aeson using "magic herbs, seeds and flowers of acrid juice"
A Moleskine image for Yoda, whose theme is 'Witches',inspired by an Aubrey Beardsley book I got for Xmas. I remember as a young student that he was very popular. The college I was at had bought a large album of his works and we were all very eager to have a look at it, but the staff decided that it had images in it that were too lewd and erotic, so they censored it !! I was in the student union at the time, and we all went on strike.It had no effect as they had cut out and destroyed the offending images..........
I was hoping that the book i got for Xmas would have a few of those images in it, sadly it was even more tame than the book i saw in my youth..............

moly 35 'Time'
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may,
Old Time is still a flying;
And that same flower that blooms today,
Tomorrow shall be dying.
Fredrick O' R. Hayes
my latest addition to a moleskine sketchbook. This is in my own book and is my second entry. This book is going back to the artists in reverse order now, so that we all get a turn at working with someone new.....the theme of this book is Time.
