May Moonthrall Newsletter

Hey- happy May 11th!  
As usual, or close to usual here, you can see projects I'm working on, favorite videos and the best of fellow artisans.
Some stunning yarn I've been eyeing was on sale, so 3 new skeins are mine.  Those are the new altar cloths below.  Two are listed now- camera never works for more than 5 minutes so third will go up tomorrow.  Please tell me what you think!

Tarot Wraps

You saw the gray Diamante wrap last time- but they're up in several more colors.

I've been geeking out on ballet and opera lately.  This piece from Offenbach's Tales of Hoffman has been playing in my head constantly.  So much that I compiled a youtube playlist and pinterest board of favorite videos.

Videos for You

The Red Shoes feat. Moira Shearer.  This was in the Montclair film festival.  Missed it, but here's the magic of the internet.

Shop Update: Abacus pearl bracelet

I've been working on more bracelets and
necklaces to add to the ones in my shop.




More pearls, adding gemstones, all knotted
on silk. Why? Because it's classy!

I've added a modern touch- asymmetrical
placement of pearls, with one pearl
"slipped" in the middle- like an abacus.








I'll put more up next week, so keep checking back.
