For 2022's Monthly Mixes we are focusing our inspiration on birth month flowers...for September it's the Aster. It's also Kate's birthday month, and she got right to work creating this blend with the pale purples, pretty pinks, and pale blues of aster flowers in mind. Symbolizing wisdom, faith, and valor, asters have been long-regarded as meaningful flowers throughout history. It was said that when Greek Goddess Astrea wept from the heavens aster flowers bloomed wherever her tears landed. The constellation Virgo is said to be her, residing in the sky. This mix is a blend of 8/0 Round Rocailles. You can find many ideas of what we’ve done with past Monthly Mixes here.
