tinctory: Calendulas!
http://tinctory.blogspot.com/2015/08/calendulas.html
They felt like a flurry of feathered wings. Not for dyeing but for making salve. First step: calendula infused olive oil. I used to not be an *orange* girl but now i love it. They DO feel like feathers in your hand. I assume you grew them. Must add them to my list for next year. I havent grown them for a long time! I think you should maybe be Mediaeval. Youre very attuned to that way of thinking, seemingly:-). Marie - likewise :) Things change. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

tinctory: Under the Wings
http://tinctory.blogspot.com/2015/08/under-wings.html
Whether we call it an angel, a spirit guide or our higher self. Whether it resides in the imaginal realm, in the objective reality or the depth of our unconscious psyche. There is guidance and protection to be found if we look for it. This necklace is an interpretation of wings as an age old symbol of protection. I first played with the idea several years ago. A ruffled, wing-like edge, dense smocking, opalescent beads. Will be in the shop tomorrow (Tuesday) together with two feathers - a blue and a green.

tinctory: Lessons of the Labyrinth
http://tinctory.blogspot.com/2015/07/lessons-of-labyrinth.html
Lessons of the Labyrinth. It was a magical time. One evening the waves turned into white horses. Another night the bay was an alchemical vessel where the big red sun setting into the ocean stood directly opposite the full pearly moon rising over the hills. Every day I drew large labyrinths. How fortunate you are, to create a labyrinth and walk it. I love this post. truly. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. The Life and Times of the Plume.

tinctory: Calendarium : July
http://tinctory.blogspot.com/2015/07/calendarium-july.html
Part of the Calendarium series in which I make a piece every month dyed with whatever I find outside at that time. It turned out to be a nude sort of colour like bare feet in the grass and the feeling of a warm breeze on bare skin. Flying on the simple and carefree wings of summer. The wings have a feather-like ruffled edge and are quite densely smocked. A row of golden glass beads catches the sun. Your work and words are beautiful as always. Thank you, Jenny!

tinctory: The Alchemical Flower
http://tinctory.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-alchemical-flower.html
I mused about it then. And am still wondering about the nature of dandelions. There seems to be something alchemical about the three stages and the transformation from sun to moon to stars. With two of the same plant the sun and the moon can be added to the same vessel. There's the alchemical marriage again. I'm working on several feathers and other things. It's one of those times when a lot is in progress and nothing completed. There will be a bigger update probably next week. View my complete profile.

tinctory: Calendarium : August
http://tinctory.blogspot.com/2015/08/calendarium-august.html
Part of the Calendarium series in which I make a piece every month dyed with whatever I find outside at that time. As the summer is ending and the combs are filling with honey in the hives I felt like recreating one of the honeycombs from several years ago. This one is fairly large and heavy with honey-coloured beads. It's going in the shop tomorrow (Saturday). Then the shop will be closed between 11 and 27 August. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The work here has been more summer-paced lately. I've been dyeing with madder and indigo in the newly refreshed vat and here are the fruits: five new feathers in juicy colours. They are flying in the shop in a moment. There are also a few other things on sale if you'd like to take a look. Next up - something for July Calendarium. So gorgeous.love the jewel tones!
