This collection of 4 shawls explores some common archetypes in fairy tales through 4 different stories.
The dormant princess of Sleeping Beauty, the brave hero of East of the Sun, West of the Moon, the serendipitous fairy gotmother of Ashputtel, and the sometimes ambiguous role of the wicked stepmother…
These aren’t intended as a set of antiquated stereotypes. Everyone knows women can be heroes at least as often as men, and men can be princesses if they want to. Being called a wicked stepmother nowadays is (probably) high praise, and we all have experienced moments of unexpected aid or get to play the role of fairy godmother ourselves from time to time.
This is a collection for those moments of everyday life that acknowledge that everyday life has around for a very long time, and sometimes woven into magical stories.
