As I reminisce about the year, a few days stand out in my mind that provided a megadose of inspiration for my artwork and inner realm. My visit to Hammond Castle this past October is definitely high on that list. What a dreamland! Ornate ironwork, candlelit corridors, casement windows galore, stone archways, and all the antique carved furniture my heart could handle— needless to say, I was swooning the entire time. Here are a few shots in particular that have been feeding my ever ravenous fantasy realm. 🏰 {First photo taken by @soliloquyjewelry} #hammondcastle (at Hammond Castle) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYE8_KMlKC5/?utm_medium=tumblr

Hammond Castle
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Hammond Castle is located in Gloucester, Massachusetts in the United States. The medieval castle was built between 1926-1929 as a residence for scientist and inventor, John Hays Hammond, Jr. Mr. Hammond pioneered the study of remote control and held over 400 patents. He was known as the “Father of Radio Control” and was a protégé of Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison. The castle was custom built to house Hammond’s collection of artifacts, which date from ancient Rome through the Renaissance period. Hammond Castle sits high upon a bluff and boasts views of the Atlantic shoreline. The castle’s exterior is built from granite; the windows, doorways, and much of the interior structure are pieces taken from European castles and buildings that Hammond had shipped to the U.S. The castle has a covered courtyard, a drawbridge, an indoor pool, several towers, a Great Hall, secret passageways, rooms with hidden doors, a library, a laboratory, a gift shop, and a gigantic pipe organ that was considered the largest residential organ in the hemisphere, unfortunately the organ stopped functioning in 2015. One of Hammond’s prized possessions is a human skull said to be from one of Christopher Columbus’ crewmembers. Hammond passed away in 1965 and left the castle to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston. Due to high maintenance costs, the Archdiocese sold the castle for $68,000 to organist Virgil Fox who eventually sold the property. Hammond Castle serves as a museum and is open to the public from May to September.

A wedding by the sea
A #wedding by the sea: On #marriage, commitments, and taking a blind leap into the unknown.
Over the weekend, I traveled through Boston to Gloucester, Massachusetts to attend the wedding of my old friend, Kate (yes, that Kate). The ceremony and reception were held at Hammond Castle, the ornate mid-20th century creation of an eccentric millionaire rocket scientist, complete with artwork imported from Europe and the Gothic vibe of a Scooby Doo haunted mansion. #Wedding at #HammondCastle…
