| 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 wonderful, Maggie. Love the path -- feels like it leads me on a wonderful walk thru the woods. You do such lovely work with the roving -- and I love the Robin's egg blue eggs in the nest. Really a soothing scene.
Hi Maggie,
WOW and WOW again, I shall never get to your standard on the Embellisher. I am going to a class and looking forward to it, so I can learn lots....I hope. Just love this Journal. lol Jan xx
Oh, yes! I could see the little bird's nests with the sweet little eggs in them! I had to click on the photos in order to see them, but all the beautiful details show up that way. Beautiful work, Nancy!
Just a note to thank you ladies for your sweet comments.I haven't done much with the embelisher lately and this piece brought me back.I was doing a lot of postcards using this technique and must do some more..I just got an order of curly rovings hand dyed by "Her Magesty Margo" so I must do something with those.
Now that summer is over and the weather here has been dreary with gray skies and rain I will spend more time in my studio..
Once again thank you so much for dropping by
xoxo
