There is much interest in this, so I have decided to create a daughter to Janita's Attar, dedicated only to this particular project 'Flowers of Myddfai'. I feel you can follow the development, the story the decisions, travels, the photos that belong to this fascinating story about the Physicians of Myddfai.... I have chosen to call it Flowers of.... as I am working with embroidery, natural perfume using the authenticated list from Professor Turner of the herbs and flowers used by the Physicians, to create something to be enjoyed for many many years to come and hopefully long after I am gone.
I hope you will share this journey with me so please comment about anything you may find here.

Flowers of Myddfai a perfumed and embroidered narrative
By researching manuscripts from the 14th century and Professor Turner's authentic list, I hope to visually and aromatically purvey the plant life used by the Physicians of Myddfai.
There has been much interest and support for this project so I have decided to produce a separate entry apart from Janita's Attar.
You will be able to follow the development, the story, decisions, travels and photos that belong to the story of The Physicians of Myddfai.... I have chosen to call it Flowers of.... as I am working with embroidery and natural perfume using the flowers and herbs from the physicians formulaes as inspiration.The legend and fairytale myth that accompanies this extraordinary story helps me to embellish and create something ethereal for people to enjoy for many years to come and hopefully long after I am gone.
I hope you will share this journey with me so please comment about anything you may find here.
With every good wish

- Natural Perfume, Music and Embroidery this Trinity weave through my life. They support and give each other inspiration. It is my lifes work and profession. I think about Natural Perfume everyday. It is my reason d'etre. It brings joy, fulfills my soul. Creating beautiful perfumes from flowers, fruits and resins is superlunary. I am besotted, obsessed, deeply in love.
