Description
"Mary Mary quite contrary,How does your garden grow?
With silver bells and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row."
The Mary alluded to in this traditional English nursery rhyme is reputed to be Mary Tudor, or Bloody Mary, who was the daughter of King Henry VIII. Queen Mary was a staunch Catholic and the garden referred to is an allusion to graveyards which were increasing in size with those who dared to continue to adhere to the Protestant faith - Protestant martyrs.

The reflections and lighting are very effective.
Sadly, we still live in times where fundamentalist beliefs increase the size of graveyards
Bittersweet indeed.

Bloody Mary was indeed Mary Tudor, NOT Mary, Queen of Scots.

I love the look in the first photo. With the red eyes sort of glossy and glowing. The red and blond highlights in the hair really add.

i thought that mary quite contrary was mary queen of scots the silver bells were the designs on her dress and the cockle shells were her favorite food, and the maids in waiting were her.. maids in waiting.

Oh, the reality of it all. (It's a lot like the rhyme The Little Nut Tree...you probably knew already it was about Prince Arthur of Wales, who "had a little nut tree", or small testicles, as well as great spice and fruit trade empires.)
BTW, where did you get the eyes?
