Description: Did you know that it was common practice in Victorian times to create jewelry and wreaths from the hair of deceased loved ones? This particular pin is inspired by a mourning wreath at a Swedish heritage institute a few hours from me. The wreath had the hair of three out of five children, who had died over the winter. Since it was the dead of winter in Minnesota, flowers were not available to weave into the wreath, so the grandmother who created it hand-felted vibrant red flowers, eternally vivid.
Description: A mourning dove rendered in expressive white ink brushstrokes, featuring its rounded silhouette and distinctive spotted wings through flowing monochrome lines in a clean minimalist composition. The generous use of negative space creates a refined wildlife illustration that stands out beautifully on dark backgrounds. A timeless white ink wildlife design for bird lovers, birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts, and admirers of expressive monochrome artwork. Suitable for apparel, accessories, and home décor.
Description: Embrace melancholic Victorian Gothic romance with this poignant etching. Featuring a woman in a flowing antique dress on a moonlit pier, gazing toward a distant lighthouse illuminated by a vibrant green beam, framed by forget-me-nots and vintage scrollwork. Perfect for dark academia fans and cherished as a remembrance token, this evocative piece is ideal for everyday wear on a or as a thoughtful sympathy accessory.
