here is a hat made for violet-birthdays
and one for angel birthdays
ok! time for sewing!
Welcome to a world of tarnished sequins. Fields and fireflies at dusk. Midnight rooftop tea parties. Whirling dervish to fiddles and clarinets. Bonfires. Gold bangles. Smoky dark velvet cushioned rooms. Blankets of frost. Stars through the skeleton limbs of trees. Low fog in the morning over the bend of the river. The smell of crackling pine logs and burnt sugar. Verhext is located somewhere in the clouds & mountains between the Bay Area and Vermont.
Purveyor of handpicked vintage and custom magical garments ~ styling for fashion and band shoots since 1996; under the monikers of The Boneyard, Dramatis Personae, Dainty & Dirty, and now Verhext.

Hi.
I have enjoyed your Flickr pictures for a while now, and been so inspired by the lovely things you post. Came to your journal though the Verhext logo picture. I am making my own Cabinet of Curiosities right now, and it remided me of it.
Our design/fashion/inspirations converge I think (Aurthur Rackham tattoo!) and I thought I’d post this comment in appreciation. I don’t want to lurk, you know?
I went to Texas in June- and ended up attending a Tom Waits show (life-long dream), with Angel! She is good friends with my friends Chris and Annie. So, small world! I did not realize you knew each other, but it figures, since Angel KNEW that my tattoo was Rackham immediately, and said that we should form some kind of group of girls, “Rackham Girls” (or something) that describes the kind of girl that we (and I think, most likely, YOU) are.
So, hullo Angel, hullo Tamera, keep up the good work of utterly inspiring beauty that you seem to pull off with stylish aplomb. Hurrah!
best,
Kai
