  • Seven Deadly Sins ‘Greed’ 

Greed (Latin, avaritia), also known as avarice or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of excess. However, greed (as seen by the church) is applied to a very excessive or rapacious desire and pursuit of wealth, status, and power. St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that greed was “a sin against God, just as all mortal sins, in as much as man condemns things eternal for the sake of temporal things.” In Dante’s Purgatory, the penitents were bound and laid face down on the ground for having concentrated too much on earthly thoughts. “Avarice” is more of a blanket term that can describe many other examples of greedy behavior. These include disloyalty, deliberate betrayal, or treason, especially for personal gain, for example through bribery. Scavenging and hoarding of materials or objects, theft and robbery, especially by means of violence, trickery, or manipulation of authority are all actions that may be inspired by greed. Such misdeeds can include simony, where one profits from soliciting goods within the actual confines of a church.
As defined outside of Christian writings, greed is an inordinate desire to acquire or possess more than one needs, especially with respect to material wealth. (Wikipedia)

    i want those glases!!!!

  • The Starry silk scarf sample arrived! Did a impromptu photo shoot - couldn’t resist getting into the styling. So excited about creating a scarf line/series. 

    The colors came out really well and the watercolor translates perfectly onto the silk. I am very pleased with how the design came out and how it sits/folds and contours to the body and head. I want to do a more formal photo shoot with a Starry environment/theme…so look out for that next month :) Have a great weekend everyone!

  • Starry scarf 2
Scanned in the inital 5 letters from the Starry font and little motifs, which came together as a cool option for the second scarf design :) The font started as a project for a typography competition.I got too busy to finish it in time for the deadline :( but will still attempt to finish all 26 letters…fingers crossed :P
