in full bloom.

The Duchess of Rouen

MD168

The Duchess of Rouen
Masquerade is something that this Duchess has become used to. Her only reason to enter the foray of bumbling oafs and pretentions is to make use of it as a wonderful distraction. As the harpsicord plucks a melody, the Duchess of Rouen finds her way into the Empress’s secret butterfly garden yet again. She’s captivated by the humble beginnings of the lavender-winged beauties. The flowers smell of the country and home. They nearly drown out the waltzing of the perfumed masses just beyond the door.

Lilith of Labrador

MD167

Lilith of Labrador
From Newfoundland to Nantucket, she is the icy sea of Labrador and all of its currents. Like any fish, and like some people, where she lives depends on the season. In winter months, she swims south from the arctic, bringing with her a tremendous wave of cold. Yet her sister’s northerly currents mean she will never make it further south than the small fishing village of Monhegan, Maine. You can see her in winter sitting on the southern rocks, watching as the waves block her off from the world.

The Baker’s Wife

MD166

The Baker’s Wife

Not all that is sweet is good. The same can be said of the unassuming wife of the palace baker. But when luxury becomes intoxicating, the only way to have fun is to swap the sugar for salt and watch as the faces of the dukes turn from pompous to sour. This trickster lives among courtyards and cloisters, but always as the handmaiden or the seamstress. Always, that is, until she dons the disguise of the mysterious Duchess of Rouen.

Garden Prelude

MD165

Garden Prelude

In a secret garden hidden in the Metropolitan Museum Cloisters, the lovely Elizabeth performs a piece to enchant the blooms – a dreamy sweet melody to gently coax the spring blossoms.
The allium and tulips sway in a trance.
Bees and butterflies dance with the exquisite vibrations of the strings radiating the air.

Cathedral Woods Goddess

MD164

Cathedral Woods Goddess

She lives in the densely wooded forest.
The cathedral ceilings are lacy pine trees.
Her carpets are woven with moss, sage and ivy.
The droplets from clean rain make up crystal
chandeliers knitted together by spider webs. The lightning bugs light her path down the hallways.
It is a fine castle for this wild Queen who is
sometimes seen wandering its corridors at dusk.
The euphoric cricket opera plays on all night.

Winter Love

MD163

Winter Love

Miss Winter has her graceful snow laced trees.
She has her powerful storms. She forces us inward to nest and contemplate the darkness. Her giant snowflakes fall heavily and gather on every balustrade and iron gate. Sometimes she is unending and sometimes she is hope.
The reminder that spring will come and that everything must beautifully breakdown to begin again.

December Blue Topaz

MD162

December Blue Topaz

Meet Miss December!
Strands of dusty blue crystals trail
behind her like fireworks. A radiant display of jewel like stars to stitch that fall

symbolizes love and good fortune.
A glowing illuminating star for your own.

Zelda

MD161

Zelda

The fascinating Zelda Fitzgerald is the muse and inspiration for this pattern. She was glamorous
and sophisticated and known to have had “so many feelings”. The paradise garden on her gown is
covered in black onyx beads and dark wandering vines representing the tragedy that crept into her life.

Her wild life was full of light and dark but she lived fiercely, creatively and with passion.
