These are three postcards I just finished..In addition to the design being done with wool rovings, I have added some embroidery by hand and machine... as well as some beads. Landscapes seem to be a never ending source of Nature's beauty.

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.

These are very beautiful. I even enlarged them to see your lovely detail work. BTW how do you make your pix enlargable-mine aren't?
Gorgeous work Maggie! It's amazing what you can do with an embellisher. I might just have to get one!

I noticed you like contests AND you're into the arts.
If you fancy having a go at winning one of my unusually popular bronze mice (I'm an artist) you can find it on my blog.
Best of luck,
Cheers,
Steve.
Gorgeous. I bet they're even more stunning in person.
You and Janet need to do a fpc exchange....what she makes her sewing machine do is amazing...just as amazing as what you do with your embellisher!
These are so beautiful!
