Ya’ll know that I’m a long time fan of Dark Shadows, the original 1960’s gothic soap opera. One of the character’s, Rachel Drummond, has this really swell little caplet that I’ve been wanting to play with for years. Every now and again it heads to the top of the stack as it’s done this year. The photo is only to show the shape, the patterning is left to,,, much artistic interpretation. In other words, not going to look much like this, teehee but it’s going to be smashing.
