Dork Alert: I can officially say I know a thing or two about the Medieval period, since I minored in it in college. Up until now, this novelty has only been remotely handy in random social settings, when I've felt the need to punctuate an evening by spouting off the first 18 lines of Canterbury Tales in Middle-English. In your face, Chaucer! But I digress. This design is a salute to the beauty of stained glass rose windows, (also known as wheel or catherine windows), which are a hallmark of the Medieval period. Unbelievably intricate and breathtaking examples can still be found in cathedrals around the globe; some personal favorites are in France. If you'd like a quick lesson on wimples or representations of the Virgin Mary in apse mosaics, just email me. Hahaha. I'm a dork, so what.
