Thanks to Lindsey and Claire, for this awesome opportunity to do a little ‘guest post’ here on the Ballad Of blog! I’m Dawn and I live in Melbourne, Australia. I spend my days sipping hot tea, writing on my little blog, making paintings and tiny bits of crafty things. While browsing through preview pages of Ballad Of, it got me thinking, everyone loves books, magazines, etc ( I mean who doesn’t? ) , just thought I’d share some images of the little books ( or you can call them zines, whichever you prefer ) that I’ve made thus far!

Ballad Of…love Dawn’s zine of her favorite things! We think you will too..so check out her Etsy shop and her website.

Lots of Hand Made Love <3

Take a look at the work of Louise Ashton Cornish, an ongoing project of self portraiture and exploration of the Greats. Francesca Woodman, Julia Margeret Cameron and she has a fascination with the Victorian period.

Take a look at her Flickr for more of her artwork.

The Ballad Ladies absolutely love Hannah & Landon’s blog! I think we all would adore their dress up box and look like we’ve just stepped out of the 1940’s. 

The very glamorous Hannah shows us just whats in her wardrobe, and yes, we are extremely jealous! Enjoy <3

eye and we feel she reflects Ballad Of’s nostalgic side!
