The heart shape is not a heartHold the symbol next to an anatomical drawing and the resemblance is essentially zero. A real heart is a lopsided muscular lump. The symbol is a neat symmetrical shape with a point.So where did it come from? Nobody...

Embroidered head on, the wolf meets you level. Grey and charcoal threads build the muzzle and the ruff, two amber eyes sit under a heavy brow, and the word WOLF is stitched below on a pale woven ground. The patch is squared off, edged...

Four legs, a deep chest and a full brush of tail: this patch carries the whole animal. It is worked in tan and brown thread on a cream ground, framed by a brown border, with WOLF stitched into the lower corner. Seen side on...

Pattern does the work of fur on this one. The wolf head on the front is filled with fine ornamental linework in teal, deep blue, red and cream, the ruff broken into layered leaf shapes and the muzzle marked out in repeating strokes rather...

Cut into hard angles, this wolf is built from shards rather than lines. Black and pale lilac planes lock together to make the head in profile, the jaw drops open on a single white tooth, and one red eye sits at the centre of...

Reduced to black, white and one small flash of orange, the wolf face on this front panel is built the way a good emblem is built: flat shapes, hard edges, no shading to soften it. Angular points finish the ruff and ears, the eyes...

A snarling wolf head sits in gold thread along one side of this beanie, drawn as a single flowing outline with the jaws open and the teeth showing. The rest of the hat is worked in a raised basketweave knit, and a small dark...

A howl is partly a threat assessmentWhen one pack hears another, what follows is not simply noise. It is closer to two groups counting each other.Researchers watching wolves in Yellowstone found that packs weigh up what they hear before deciding whether to approach or...

What a worn object actually doesNobody sensible thinks a pendant changes the world. It is worth asking why people have worn them continuously for tens of thousands of years anyway.The answer is fairly plain. A thing on your body is a thing you touch,...

Gothic began as an insultThe word was not a compliment when it was coined. Renaissance critics used it to dismiss medieval architecture as barbaric, naming it after the Goths, the tribes blamed for wrecking Rome.They meant it as an accusation of crudeness. The buildings...

Three tones, and rose gold is the interesting oneGold and silver are familiar. Rose gold is worth understanding, because most people choose it on looks alone and there is a reason it suits who it suits.Real rose gold is gold alloyed with copper, and...

Berserk is a word we still useIt came into English from Old Norse and it has never really left. What it originally described is stranger than the modern sense.The most likely reading of berserkr is bear-shirt, which puts them alongside the ulfhednar, the wolf-coats....

The howl, held in relief A howl carries further than a bark. Wolves use it to find one another across open country, to gather the pack before a move, and to tell a neighbouring pack where a border lies. Sound is the one thing...

The head at the centre Wolves say a great deal with the face alone. A lifted lip, a wrinkled muzzle and a hard stare carry a clear message right across open ground, and that is the exact expression chosen for this buckle. The head...
