  1. Newly-scythed hay and spiced ale. The Heats of August When summer opens, I see how fast it matures and fears it will be short; but after the heats of July and August, I am reconciled, like one who has had his swing, to the cool of autumn. – Ralph Waldo Emerson Artist - Pieter van der Heyden

    Hearth 2023

    Sweet pipe tobacco, cherry wood, the warm, worn leather of an easy chair and a pleasant, subtle waft of fireplace smoke.

    Burnt pumpkin skins, creosote, coal, and industrial waste.

    Puff Pastry Apple Roses

    A deceptively simple recipe: paper-thin red apple slices pulled from a bath of lemon juice and rosewater, sprinkled with cinnamon, layered just so in syrup-brushed strips of pastry, and then rolled into perfect rosebud shapes that crisp up into a red-gold bouquet in the oven.

    Slowly She Turned

    Straining to hear, she wondered who the applause might be for. Surely not herself? Flaming amber, queen mandarin rind, yellow peppercorn, scorched yellow roses, and a hint of decay.

    The Sun in His Wrath

    Searing amber and Oman frankincense with champaca, bay laurel, and red mimosa.

    Sturgeon Moon 2024

    Sandy shores and sweet fresh water, lichen, green algae, and whitestem pondweed, with benzoin, hay, cyclamen, moonlit musk, cucumber, blue poppy, driftwood, and agave. A month of bounty, when the fish are plentiful and the corn grows high. This is the scent of breezes passing over the Great Lakes, mingling gently with traditional lunar herbs.

    Insulation Board Tombstone

    A fragrant melange of foam insulation board, PVC pipes, jigsaw grease, stone-textured spray paint, and polyurethane sealant.

    Morning Follows Night

    Bourbon vanilla, tonka bean, raw cacao, and patchouli root illuminated by yellow bergamot, lemon rind, and white amber. Dreaming as the Summers Die Thy home is all around, Sweet summer child of light and air, Like God’s own presence, felt, ne’er found, A Spirit everywhere! – James Staunton Babcock Artist - Nicolaes Berchem

    The Bell Witch

    Whether arising from mischief or malice, the calamities were undeniably linked. Rusted iron, mandrake root, burnt vetiver, and patchouli leaves

    Bearded Dragon

    Taking things a bit literally. Dragon’s blood resin, ambrette seed, brown musk, coffee bean, caramelized vanilla husk, and cardamom.
  14. A tarterian conflagration of red musk, mimosa, scorched leather, Halfeti rose, and king mandarin aflame with red pepper, daemonorops draco, red amber, patchouli ash, pimento berry, cardamom, and tobacco. July Art: Dreaming as the Summers Die Thy home is all around, Sweet summer child of light and air, Like God’s own presence, felt, ne’er found, A Spirit everywhere! – James Staunton Babcock Artist - Hieronymous Bosch

    Beatific Dragon

    A sainted sliver of dragon’s breath: dragon’s blood resin, vanilla silk, angelica seed, mimosa, orris root, pink grapefruit, and angelic amber musk.
  16. Be not afraid: globules of white coconut beaming through blinding white amber and Oman frankincense. And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days. – James Russell Lowell Artist - Berard Picart
