Unusual Art for the eclectic eye

Come in out of this terrible night my Friend. Raining again, is it? The wind is a fury, blowing everything about like that. My name is Ledley Barbour. I am the Curator and Keeper of the Treasures here at the Mossthread Museum. I am not alone here, walking these endless corridors, I am accompanied by my shape shifting Companion, Sebastienne the Crow. One day we will tell you the story of why we are held prisoners here...captives. Until then, We invite you into the Mossthread Museum. We are sure that we have something here that you will want.

 It is just beginning to rain. There are sprinkles on the roof of the Arboretum. My footsteps echo on the marble floor. 

It will soon be Samhain, and I look forward to it. I have found this Halloween Banner that was once a part of the festivities held at the Fig-Pink Estate. You can have it for your own if your heart desires it.

 It has been some time since you visited the Mossthread Museum, and I have been patiently waiting for your return. So welcome back, and please take a moment to catch your breath, and shake the rain off your bumbershoot. The rain never seems to stop here. 

You may be wondering why I have summoned you. You may be curious. 

I have had time, an eternity it seems to wander these rooms, looking...but that is a story for another day. My imprisonment. 

I have in my endless searching found several articles which will be available for your acquisition. I will host a sale of sorts beginning this Sunday, August 20th. The doors of the Museum will open at 7pm. The offerings appear to be related to the holiday of Samhain. That is all I can say! 

Until then I bid you a fond and lonely farewell. 

truly yours,

 Ledley Barbour

Here is another weaving offered from the nimble and dangerous fingers of the Countess D'Antagne, who likes to dabble in both abstraction and asymmetry. In this piece she explores bold contrasting colours, which she often likes to wear when the mist between worlds thickens into a woolen smudge of gray. 

Materials: upcycled wooden picture frame, 9.5" by 7.25". Twine and yarn. Asymmetrical Pizazz.
Price: 45.00 shipping cost: 7.00

It is well known among the members of the Not-So-Polite-Society (that exists between worlds) that the cunning Countess of L'Antagne murders her husbands. From her sprawling, yet well-organized gardens, she meticulously collects stem, seed, bark, bud, root and poisonous petal and through an ancient alchemy transforms them into tasteless pastes, powders, teas, and tinctures of death. This knowledge does not diminish the bold hubris of her next suitors, who are determined to convince her that This Time her marriage will be lasting. They each fall the same regardless of their certainty. Curiously, she also has a delicate fondness for curing all the village children of their many ills. Humans, as we know, are complex and varied creatures. The weaving I have brought back from her estate is made from the lace scraps of her wedding dresses and jewelry pieces that once adorned slender wrist and tender earlobe. She believes it will make a fine and fetching addition to someone else's stylish home.    Yours,  Sebastienne the Crow.
