I met up with Emily Zych, a.k.a. whichgoose, deep in the magical forests of Maryland, where she finds twigs and vines for the fanciful crowns she makes. This wood nymph's delightful creations are inspired by Greek mythology, pagan folklore and expressive Romanticism.

Clockwise from top left: Fields of Gold Crown, I'll Fly Away Tiara, Starry Night Crown, Genevieve Comb, Midsummer Night's Dream, Chapel Crown, Ginny Crown.

This natural vine wreath has a lovely Victorian feel to it. It would be an elegant garland for brides and guests alike.

 

 

 

 

Twiggy Crown by whichgoose, $35

whichgoose captures the essence of woodland fashion with this earthy yet delicate crown.

 

 

 

Lilith by whichgoose, $50.

Wonderful!!! I'm your admirer.

Sept. 30, 2009 at 4:20 p.m. phydeaux

This is so simple, lovely, and everything that shavingkitsuppplies also said. Just a bit of magic that would have me immediately at whichgoose's wonderful shop if I was planning a wedding! (and I'm going there right now anyway, despite no wedding!) Great job, thank you!

Sept. 30, 2009 at 4:25 p.m. MGMart

i wore a whichgoose fascinator the day i became a Mrs!
I sent Emily lace from my mother's dress and trim from mine, and she created the most beautiful thing i have ever seen!

Emily and I had a fabulous time shooting this video. As with the iheartnorwegianwood video we are experimenting with this short promotional format to see what the response is. Please keep the comments and suggestions coming. And thanks for watching!

so beautiful & poetic.

Sept. 30, 2009 at 9:35 p.m. icyplum

Emily made two of my favorite possessions and for that I'm grateful. She deserves to wear a crown. Lovely video! I always like the longer etsy vids so much, but the brief clips have their own special charm, yes.

Sept. 30, 2009 at 9:43 p.m. babook

Her crowns are so lovely! I will buy one for my sister-in-law-to-be! My brother is getting married in February!
I'm so excited to choose a crown for his fiance!

Beautiful video! I love Whichgoose's stuff, and the music and imagery told a perfect story about how enchanting it is.

Oct. 1, 2009 at 12:24 a.m. MyMoms

Great finds! I love them all and want to go back in time....

Oct. 1, 2009 at 5:11 a.m. MissFiKingdom

I have been keeping track of Emily since I joined etsy. She is one of the 1st sellers to give me advice and encouragement! You lucky girl to have such a great video of your work.

I love this short video format. it is a great way to get a small taste of the seller in a very graphically interesting way!

Oct. 1, 2009 at 7:14 a.m. Berlinski

Gorgeous...gorgeous...gorgeous! What fun, beautiful things to create a truly original wedding day!

Oct. 1, 2009 at 8:46 a.m. bytheway

Beautiful - I love the butterflies on the twisty wands :)

Oct. 1, 2009 at 9 a.m. shopgoodgrace

Such lovely creations for almost any occasion - but soooo perfect for a wedding! It's even more special knowing some of the elements are hand chosen in a forest...

(I couldn't get the video to play... bummer. I'll try on another computer...)

Oct. 1, 2009 at 9:16 a.m. shopgoodgrace

Oh my! Finally got the video to play (via YouTube)... it IS absolutely enchanting! And Emily is gorgeous!! (BeaUtifully shot, as well.)
