As most of you are aware, I started selling merchandise a few months back. Everything I created has different phrases and sentiments that I like and thought you might enjoy. However, in the back of my mind there was something else I wanted to do too.<\/p>\n

Hiding in the public domain are many beautiful works just waiting to be rediscovered and shared. I happened across several by John Flamsteed. (By the way, if you support me on Patreon<\/a> this is all old news to you.) Flamsteed (1646-1719) was an English astronomer and the first Astronomer Royal. He catalogued over 3000 stars and was responsible for several of the earliest recorded sightings of the planet Uranus, which he mistook for a star. After his death his widow helped get his work published as \u201cAtlas Coelestis\u201d. Flamsteed\u2019s work was updated and republished several times, the last being in 1795.<\/p>\n

Although the work he did was for science, the images he created are art. And I want to share it! That\u2019s why I used several of his charts to make a line of greeting cards and postcards!<\/p>\n

You can see them all in my online store<\/a>! You\u2019ll want to click in on the images to see what they truly look like, CafePress treats home screen edits more like suggestions than directions. If you like what you see, don\u2019t wait to purchase, these are only going to be available until May 31, 2019!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
