Collection: April 2026: The Wandering Painter

In April 2026, subscribers encountered the Wandering Painter.

Because the streams are swelling, the Trees must be waking.

The Wandering Painter notes these changes in her journal. Now it is time to shed the trappings of civilized life, including both her heavy coat and her stays. If the new warm breeze fails her, she can always build a small warming fire. And the wilder creatures are unimpressed by hair combs and corsets.

All winter long she moves between the households that offer her work.  When in the larger cities, she occasionally teaches classes in rooms full of makeshift easels.  Or, sometimes she stays an extra week or two at a farm, tutoring its daughters and growing plump on the kitchen’s supplies of cheese and ale.

She has been buckled up in wool, cautious with her words, prim. Now, at last, she can sleep out again. She will rewild herself and return to her nature studies.

The Wandering Painter Box includes an abundance of beautiful objects; hints and additions to expand the story; a mysterious document; and a lore card.
