More Objects in Waiting








For the next week I'll be collecting objects for my Samhain/Hallo'een/Day of the Dead altar.

Because this is an intuitive process some things will find their way onto the altar,others will not.

A Rein for the Fairy Queen's Horse






I began by collecting coloured fabrics and objects pertaining to the Fairy Queen's attire when she first met Thomas of Ercildoune in the woods near his castle .

Read more about   THOMAS AND THE FAIRY QUEEN

A Scottish Fairy Tale.







Her dress was of bright green silk and her saddle cloth of scarlet satin .
Tiny bells hanging from her horse's harness of braided silk jingled as she rode through the woods .








My version of silk braiding
















One end of the finished rein, decorated with bells,gold threads and wood pigeon feathers
