WOOT! Here's a compilation of all the marques. Doesn't it look pretty?


From Jacqueline Carey's "Kushiel" series.

A reminder of the canons:

Alyssum - modesty; "With eyes averted"
Balm - compassion; "Rest and be soothed"
Bryony - cupidity and wagering; "Wealth seeks company"
Camellia - perfection; "Without fault or flaw"
Cereus - fleeting beauty; "All loveliness fades"
Dahlia - dignity; "Upright and unbending"
Eglantine - creativity, song, and performance; "To create is to live"
Gentian - mystic purity of spirit; "Truth and vision".
Heliotrope - devotion and love; "Thou, and no other"
Jasmine - pleasure and sensuality; "For pleasure's sake"
Mandrake - dominance; "Yield all"
Orchis - mirth; "Joy in laughter"
Valerian - submission; "I yield"

Oh, this is lovely, but unfortuantely I think that the tiny pictures don't really do justice to your wonderfull knotwork :(
I think you should make links to the larger pictuers of every one of them in the description. ^^ I have to say I really enjoyd (sp?) all of the marques, aspecially the alyssum and the camellia!

I've just made the pic a bit bigger! I agree completely, now it looks a bit more respectable!

Oh my... Amazingly delicate and beautiful. :wow: It's so good to see all of them together. Very well worth the time and research invested.

This is just fantastic.

Oh, do be sure to tell us if/when you get the permissions needed to make a print! You did such a wonderful job imagining and realizing the marques for each of the Houses. :clap: I'm quite impressed and I love them!!
