'The Keepsake' "is based on a poem by Rossetti
and was first shown with this quotation:
and was first shown with this quotation:
'Then stepped a damsel to her side,
And spoke and needs must weep:
'For his sake, lady, if he died,
He prayed of thee to keep
This staff and scrip'."

'For his sake, lady, if he died,
He prayed of thee to keep
This staff and scrip'."

Love her work so much and thanks for posting the YouTube link.
ReplyDeleteOne of my next costume projects is the ivory "be-dragoned" gown in Keepsake. Hope I can pull it off:)
Hi Medieval Muse :) ... I am sorry I have been away so long ... thank you so much for visiting and leaving your comment. So glad you enjoyed seeing Kate's beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see your project ... and am sure it will be just as lovely and special as all that you do. All the best ...
Beautiful stuff here, she was actually quite a good female Pre-Raphaelite artist I think. Thanks for posting!
