A moth devoured words. When I heard of that wonder it struck me as a strange event, that a worm should swallow the song of some human.

Autumn is well and truly upon us now. I’m planning a shop update for this Saturday! It will include all of the pieces that are left from the @salemnightfaire and a preorder for the Black Linen Bise dresses. The preorder will be available in the UK Etsy shop also!
I’ll also be adding the rest of the Hel dresses to the shop!

At the edge of the village, at the edge of the woods, that’s where you’ll find my ghost.

Getting all set up at the @salemnightfaire today! I can’t wait to wander through the buildings of the Pioneer Village and see all my fellow vendors and attendees!

@frochan is wearing the Hel dress! I’ll have a handful of these dresses with me along with lots of one of a kind styles! If you’re in the Salem area stop by and say hello to @thorns_clothing @voodooodolly and I!

“She took me for for several walks in the great woods; to try whether the voluptuous dreaming and amorousness with which tender souls are inspired by the thick and kindly shade of the forests might not be turned to her advantage.”
-from The Mademoiselle de Maupin by Theophile Gautier

Safely back home in Ohio after the @darksomecraftmkt at the @mountmoriahcemetery I had such a lovely time! Thank you so much to @cabinetofcuriousclay for all your hard work organizing and to everyone who came out to shop and say hello!
Now I’m working hard on some last pieces for the @salemnightfaire next weekend! I cannot wait to visit Salem and see all the other lovely vendors at the Faire! @voodooodolly and I will be there together along with @thorns_clothing
I’m printing a few market exclusive pieces along with the very last run of my Halo hats and Witch hats. I’ve decided to retire them after this market for good. I’m also bringing Salome crop tops, Hel dresses and the newly finished Gruoch skirts (formerly the War skirt now renamed after Gruoch ingen Boite Queen of Alba and wife of Macbeth) if you’re around the Salem/Boston area stop by and say hello! We’ll be there in the @pioneervillage1630 both Friday and Saturday and I know the whole @salemnightfaire is going to be an incredible spectacle.

⚔️ Noli Me Tangere ⚔️

⚔️ Touch Me Not ⚔️

Another from our little trip to the Dexter Mausoleum in Cincinnati.
My dearest @goatspell and I will be working on some collabs later this year. We’re aiming for a fall line of coordinating pieces. The benefit of living with your best friend, wife and a fellow creator is that you always get to build on each other’s ideas!

@goatspell is wearing their Hellebore style skirt, a “Noli Me Tangere” ribbon belt and Starry Halo from @voodooodolly , a sample blouse and a sample version of the Cuirass Corset.
Part of making any new piece is trying out different versions of the style to see what works and what doesn’t. This particular attempt at the Cuirass style didn’t have enough interior structure so it wrinkled in a way that thoroughly spoiled the illusion of armor. The real ones we’ll be releasing have boning all around and a layer of heavy canvas behind the silk shell. This gives them a more sculptural shape!
Figuring out what works best for each piece is time consuming but also means that I get to be very proud of the final style!
Is there anything behind the scenes you’re curious about when it comes to developing new styles?

The Callieach is solidly down from her hills and walks amongst us. Treat your animals well, else she’ll come for you.

Happy Solstice and good tidings.
I’m always ready to welcome the return of the sun as the wheel tips back toward light. I’m so grateful for another wonderful year being lucky enough to have this be my full time job. This year brought lots of changes both good and bad. I can only hope next year gets better! Please stay safe, wear your masks and speak gently to people. ⚔️
