You know the pamphlets have paid off when someone finally commissions a stained glass window of you!

A somewhat successful attempt to do Egbert the Careless as a stained glass window (based on one of Burne-Jones’ although I achieve nowhere near that level of goodness).

As ever, thanks @outsidexboxofficial for the very good dragon-man

The Fates Gathering in the Stars by Elihu Vedder. American, 1887. Oil on canvas. In the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Description from the Art Institute:

Elihu Vedder depicted the three Fates of Greek mythology working the thread of life: Clotho spins the thread, Lachesis fixes its length, and Atropos cuts it at the appointed time of death. Their symbolic tools—spindle, distaff, and shears—rest in the foreground, emphasizing the Fates’ decisive role in matters of life and death.
