So here they are, from the top and clockwise, in the order of age:
Destiny - pale green for his garden and opaque white for the unturned pages in his book
Death - grey/white on black, because she’s just such a cool person.... I initially wanted to put the faint outline of the ankh in the background, but that will be for another puff.
Dream - gold for the dream dust, on midnight blue. I initially wanted to put beads into this for stars, but then didn't bother once I had done Death's puff without the ankh. Maybe there will be deluxe editions of these. Haha.
Destruction - orange brick-like stitch on brown for rust and debris
Desire - I didn't have enough red yarn to do a puff, because the first plan was for a golden 'D' on dark red, but I had some embroidery floss that goes from bright to dark red, which I used on top of the puff, so that the 'D' itself is in a sort of relief (desire taking over). The colours were chosen for the red of the heart's blood, and the gold of Desire's eyes.
Despair - grey on grey. You can barely see the 'D' for which I used cross stitch, but you can feel it if you run your fingers across the puff.....The background grey was a colour to get lost in while I was knitting.....
and in the middle Delirium - green and blue for her eyes, on vivid lilac. I used sort of random stitching for the 'D'. I had also thought maybe I'd embroider tiny butterflies on this one, but yeah that will be for another version as well....
