Welcome to the Baroque movement! We are picking up the pace in art, music, literature, science and colonization. Galileo is looking at the stars and publishing his treatises, Descartes is busy formulating algebraic equations with which to torture and amuse future generations, and Isaac Newton is getting hit on the head with an apple. Spain and England are establishing colonies in the New World, and the Dutch are headed to Africa to dig up pretty rocks. Trade routes are opening up all over the world and many new goods are available in markets all across Europe.
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have ribbons, lace and bows galore! There’s nothing you can’t embroider, lace, ribbon, slash, panel or trim.
