With a name like that, you know it’s going to be interesting.
One of the newest offerings from Kouse’s Sanctum, Ethereal Regency is definitly a colorful series. The gowns all come with mixing and matching possibilities…two different sets of flex sleeves, ball gown skirt, empire line skirt, I could go on…
Again in these images the Awen jewelry is used, just with the amethyst stone this time.
Kouse uses deep, vibrant colours in this series (aside from the white version of the gown of course). The off the shoulder look and neckline of the gown is truly unique. Coupled with the details of the bodice and sleeves, and the rich textures created for the skirt, these gowns create a look that with the right accessories can be other-worldly.
I decided to let my fae side out for this gown and another which will be shown in a future post. The wings, and hair, I used, as well as the skin, all work together for a flamboyant, over the top fantasy look.
Credits after the cut.

Working in the theme of threes today, gals. Starting with the jewlry which will be in every image today, the marvellous new Awen collection by Malakh Giles of Avilion Mist.
This is Serenity Sieyes newes dress, Ren in blue. It’s a simply stunning ensemble consisting of top, pants, prim skirts sleeves…and of course, a gorgeously crafted Aura capelette. Sieyes creates such beautiful things, even with the peasants these gowns were originally intended for, the set became something fit for a fairytale princess.
The gorgeous bodice is richly detailed, as is every other piece, the prims all working together beautifully to create a seamless, realistic look. I must state that I adore the textures on Sieyes’ creations - all of them. She has a unique way of utilizing textures that many other builders would either overlook or use in such a way that they look very odd, out of place, flat, etc….but Sieyes breathes life into them, and works with them, and prims, artfully, to create masterpieces.
The perfect compliment to an Avilion Mist gown? Avilion Mist jewelry of course! In the image is the Awen collection’s circlet and necklace. There are also earring in this collection, as well as another version of the necklace I’m wearing (a little more simple), and, also, a circlet and necklace with the triskellion’s delicate swirls (no idea how he coaxed the prims into doing that!).
I understand that the Awen and Triskellion are symbols rich with meaning to Druids. According to Wikipedia, Awen is a Welsh word historically used to describe the divine inspiration of gifted bards in the Welsh poetic tradition and, in a more general sense, sometimes ascribed to musicians and poets today. It can be compared to the Classical Muse. The first recorded reference to the Awen occurs in Nennius’ Historia Brittonum, a Latin text of circa 796 CE, based on earlier writings by the Welsh monk, Gildas.
