From Far and Wide,

all the subjects of Ventiçello had heard stories about the Emperor's lavish taste in clothing.

His robes were sewn from prized fabrics, and they were adorned with sparkling jewels,

making the Emperor appear like a brilliant star.

NOTE: The building highlighted here is Ventiçello's Topolino. It is a mausoleum built for two little mice in 1993. I threw the dome on a potter's wheel, and hand sculpted the walls, piercing detail into them with tiny punch tools.
