I am an incorrigible book lover, and like many book lovers I have a fondness for vintage books in particular. The older the edition, the better—there's just something luxurious and timeless about them. That "old-timey" atmosphere plus the obvious love and appreciation for science is what appeals to me about the pieces in fellow Mad Scientist of Etsy Heidi's shop,
LeftBrainRightBrain. They hearken back to an era when science textbooks were still trying to figure everything out.
In particular, I love the etchings used in the illustrations. There is something charming about an artist's rendition that a photo will never have, no matter how stunning the photograph may be.
But Heidi carries a wider array of pieces than just ("just") science. Here and there you'll also find some cute retro illustrations.
And some creepy ones. Halloween is coming, you guys!!
And for the believers among us, some more esoteric, alchemical ones.
As you can see, Heidi caters to a wide variety of interests and fields in her shop! On the off chance there's nothing there that tickles your fancy, send her a convo—Heidi also does custom orders!
