Wedding dried flowers

Magic of a wizard
2021 - Howl’s Moving Castle the movie by Studio Ghibli has always been a favorite of Skyler’s and in 2021 they picked up the novel the movie is inspired by. The book by Diana Wynne Jones, Howl’s Moving Castle created an inspiring narrative that gave depth and meaning to the characters beyond what the movie had done. And it was those written words that inspired the creation of Skyler’s first quilted Jacket. Skyler had a desire to bring the magic from the pages into reality.
