I have had a wonderful time to-day working on more embellished postcards. The Birch trees were a first for me and I like the results very much.The beading and embroidery by hand and machine addsuch dimension. Can you tell I LOVE doing french knots!!;-}

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 think your birch tree trunks are exquisite - I had to enlarge them to take a look at how you managed them - very effective
These little textile paintings are fabulous ... so full of light.
Maggie, your paintings are beautiful. I enlarged them to really see what you were doing and they are lovely. I love to make french knots too. I used to candlewick a lot.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.
