Wonderful stuff donated to me: handmade paper décolletage, stretcher frames, and much more. Combine with collected leaves, desiccated fruit, grasses, seeds, antlers, collage, paint to create archetypal characters, queens, guides, goddesses.
Titles are in Latin, referring to biological nomenclature, classifying them, and feelin’ fancy. They are Queens after all.
