toulet’s curiosity
Right up my alley. A welcomed boost of inspiration.
Paris-based artist Maissa Toulet’s Curiosity Cabinets are quirky little worlds encased in glass, where animal and people parts mingle with plant life and funny little objects.
While she discovered the shadow boxes and assemblies of American artist Joseph Cornell when she was a teen, it wasn’t until she was 30, after a stint as a teacher, that Toulet dared to arrange her eclectic jumble into her own presentations. Toulet describes her pieces as “miniature museums” in which each object has a place and is not interchangeable. Her newest ones tend towards story-telling.

miss frances :: frenchie
Miss Frances is a bit of a slacker — she spends more time in the sun than at her job as our executive designer.

french kiss :: featured
Thanks to Marge Millls at Personal Designz. We are flattered that she highlighted “The French Kiss” in her curated exhibit.
We are among such a terrific group of exhibitors, especially:
- Dani Stephan at Le Coquelicot out of Highland, California. Her ever so feminine Victoria Brooch would dress up any outfit in a heartbeat.
- The Dreamy Giraffe our of South Carolina features In Sunshine and in Rain, a clever art print that is sure to make you smile.
- Erin of Erin’s Modern Art features her tree with bird, a delightful commission. We’re also fond of her white chrysanthemum painting!
