Mushroom Girls and Boys

I found an atlas of exotic mushrooms in an antique book shop on the weekend and am turning Lactarius turpis and the like into skirts and ruffs and hairdos.

And Sara is right. So prolific. Unless you've been storing this stuff up for years to be unleashed all at once on a blog :)

sariflor said...: You are right Hana: it is inspiring. Very inspiring. Maybe that is one of the reasons why I like it so much and can't stop checking for more.
And mostly I am never disappointed, as you post so much. Like Christine said, I don't know what I envy you more for, haha!
