Lover's Revenge

Original acrylic painting on thick, acid-free paper, approximately 8" x 10". Inspired by an archaic "Lover's Revenge Curse" that involved sticking pins into a birds' heart. Lover's Revenge at My Good Babushka.

Lover's Revenge

I have some notes that I jotted down, I assume they are from W.C. Hazlitt's Dictionary of Faiths and Folklore, but I'm not sure. Something about taking revenge on an unfaithful lover by sticking pins into a bird's heart via sympathetic magic. I seem to have left out any particulars, like the kind of bird, so I'm going to make it up. I picked a black swan.

Black Swan and Red Fish, Blue Fish

I wrote some time back about my fish trouble and how our pet betta was doing poorly. Well, here he is now! I've given him BetaFix and aquarium salts and frequent water changes and now he is back to looking bright and brilliant! I'm getting the hang of this fish thing after all. For a while there, I thought he was going to be another flusher.




I've been noodling around with some pen and ink drawings, like the old kind of dippy fountain pen. It's been fun and sometimes messy. This little drawing in 5" x 7". I found a really cute vintage frame and put it up in my etsy shop. Black Swan Ink Drawing at My Good Babushka.

The Black Swan Embroidery

I am working on a small embroidered pillow. The fabric ground is 100% recycled wool and I'm using all gold and black embroidery thread.
