DESCRIPTION:Mist creeps though the half-light in an ancient dance that encircles the woodland. Trees and the spaces between them become blurred, concealed by white curls of fog, a gentle hymn for the ensuing dawn. Her silhouette emerges from the drifting haze, a hooded figure in opulent cream, a bohemian beauty as deep and alive as the forest itself. She walks from the trees into a clearing, her full length vintage cape undulating as she moves, sweeping above the ground with the ease of poetry.

Fastened to her with two earthy wooden buttons at her neck, the cape flies out from her with every brisk movement, flowing into the morning air. Her strides are interrupted by a sound, a motion in the undergrowth. She stops, standing as still as fallen snow, the warm cream folds of her cape falling around her. Her eyes glint with the soft light of morning as she looks out from the wide Victorian hood decadently covering her head, an aura of pre-Raphaelite romance or Celtic determination framing her face. The movement she sees in the quiet becomes two antlers, revealed in the mist, the deepness of two black eyes, staring.

She raises her hands and lifts her hood, a soft curve of wool fabric gathering upon her shoulders, and she returns the stag\'s stare. A vision of beauty, draped in the richness of Laura Ashley heritage, she holds out her hand, there in the cold morning, towards the stag, an offering to the wild, a revelation of her own wildness, a woman of the heathlands, strong and free...
