wise men

MWthreekings

Balthazar, Melchior and Caspar….. A favorite scene in The Little Drummer Boy is when the three wise men had their tents pitched in the desert.   You could see the city of Bethlehem in the distance.   I'm sure that influenced my interest in onion domed architecture.  

I love seeking and creating images of Three Kings, or Three Wise Men….I love things that come in threes…and I love crowns….so could it be any cooler that the Ward family crest is 3 crowns??!!  These large chess pieces are in our home….the pawn got a promotion today…with a crown of anaglypta.  Happy Epiphany.

    I totally forgot that today (er, ah, yesterday)was Epiphany! Thanks for the reminder. And love crowns too.

    Very cool! The pawn must be pleased, king for a day! 😉
    I’ve always been intrigued by the three kings. In the kindergarten Christmas play, I got to be one of them! I was so. excited. Seriously.

    My mind is busy coming up with ideas for that great rubber stamp I got from you, Courtship. I’ve always loved chess imagery, and I love this photo. Where did you get those?
    Happy Epiphany

    You too! I did wait and took my tree down on the Epiphany. Wonder what the Long crest looks like. Did you see the Heartkiller video?????????

    I am a three kings nut too. They are so mystical and magical. My mom used to have these magneficent kings made out of fabric and paper from Southern Mexico. They stood about 2 ft high. Unfortunately, years ago, my late dog, Potter, also liked them, but a little too much. Sadly we couldn’t repair them. I hope you and yours had a wonderful Epiphany! xoxoxoxo
