| Your Old Fashioned Name Is... |
 |
Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.
The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.
The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.

I love your beaded doll and the Russian necklace doll. The necklace would be a cute FAT trade. Your work is awesome. morningDove
Goodmorning Morning Dove,
Thanks for taking a spin on my blog. and the nice comments.
Yes you are probably right about the russian doll necklace.
I'm not sure how to share the instructions. We had no written notes, It was just a see and do workshop and she didn't speak English!! I suppose I could do a sereies of pictures for the different steps, but I couldn't host the trade.
Anyway food for thought!
Thanks again
((((hugs))))

And I adore that Russian doll necklace, too!

Hi Kathy.... Thanks for stopping by..... I just love to bead. I was away at a retreat all week-end with 33 gals. It was our quilt guild fall retreat, but I always take some other things to work on as well as my quilts. I took my snowman quilt which is queen size. It's all to-gether and now I am hand quilting it.
Then I took some art doll pins to bead, Funny thing was I took along my finished ones just so I would have something to go by and ended up selling them all!!!!My big worry was I had them listed on Etsy and hoped they hadn't been sold there too!!! LOL.... I was safe!!
THEN I took my wool rovings to work on some needle felting and guess what I made.....A SOCK MONKEY! It is absolutely adorable about 3 inches high. I could have sold a dozen of those !!!
I will post pictures later, right now I am pooped out and need a rest!!!!TTUL
((((hugs))))
