Seriously tempted to use this cat from Decorative Victorian Needlework as a visual guide for my annual mental health checkup tomorrow. Any words I could come up with would fail to illustrate my current state quite as accurately, and it's not polite to hiss at people.
Thank you so much π₯°β€οΈ
Tell me the story of ashes
Of sand forged into glass by the fury of earth
Of stillness as it passed
And of pomegranates growing in the black soil of Hades
Impossibly vibrant
With life
Trying to revive my forgotten BSky with my Underworld collection.

Decided that poppies for my Persephone gown needed an upgrade
Someone seems to have put a beauty filter on the skies today π
cropped image of an illustration of the vampire Carmilla caressing Laura's neck while she sleeps.
"Sometimes there came a sensation as if a hand was drawn softly along my cheek and neck. Sometimes it was as if warm lips kissed me, and longer and longer and more lovingly as they reached my throat, but there the caress fixed itself"
..it's now 22.57.
So, uh, my life-work balance throw was a failure today π
I will try again tomorrow.
Me: ok, trying to follow my OT's advice and finish working at a reasonable hour rather than when I am falling down from exhaustion. I'll go play BG3!
Also me: fiddling with jewellery designs as cutscenes are playing because I just had this elven/Moonmaiden piece idea that absolutely cannot wait..
Thank you! It did π
Thank you! I think I will be adding another chain that can be attached to the smaller teardrop pendant - so it can be worn as a separate necklace while the main choker is worn as a headpiece
- So is it a choker or a crown?
- Yes
(Coming soon)
Almost finished with the bodice for my Persephone gown. Just a few things left to add, then I'll have to finish the sleeves, and then... I guess I will need to start planning an Underworld photoshoot.
[there really should be a pomegranate emoji]
Today was a shipping day.
I am so immensely grateful for each and every order β€οΈ
Love the colors ππ
Is this guy, uh, even alive? π
He reads like AI-generated sludge of buzzwords, both the emails and that delightful cherry of a website.
Then again, a lot of people are genuinely ~like that~ so it's hard to tell anymore π
I absolutely adore that Mari has a seatbelt π₯° One can be the pale horse of midwinder riding around in a house with chicken legs, but one still gotta follow safety protocols π€
At today's Snow White shoot with @thewillowmaiden.bsky.social:
- So I couldn't find a pretty red apple, but I did bring this anatomical heart with me! Thought we could use it.
- ... and that's something you had just lying around at home?
- Well... Yes.
(I mean... I really do π
)
Absolutely love finding papaver somniferum in the wild. They are glorious. And huge. And tasty when ripe and made into pies. And also used to make opium which is why it's pretty rare to stumble upon them.
Blessed is the country where they don't have to be locked up.
Saw someone's account named "mercury in tardigrade" and I think I can go home now because that person has won the Internet :D
And here's some relevant Ukrainian slang for you this fine morning
The night sky corset is made by @mirjamiraatelier and modelled by @alicelfrick π

β’ Stormy Sky β’
This necklace combines the vibrant blues of lapis lazuli with thunderstorm-blue of sodalite and dark blue goldstone reminding of starry night sky. It is meant to recall the ever-changing element of Air, from dark tempests to azure calm:

(The guy did it while protesting the draft of "Declaration on the criminal russification of Latvia by the Soviet occupation regime and the prevention of its linguistic consequences". russΡΠ°n colonialism at its finest π€¦π»ββοΈ)
Why am I still reading Latvian news three years after moving?
Because this is β¨pure poetryβ¨
This is everything π
Thank you so much! I have two more that are *almost finished*, but I realized if I don't start on the photos now, the chances of getting them done will diminish with each added crown π
I fully support starting a crown collection! :D
Any monster, great or small
We have the power to defeat them all
The bigger they come, the harder they fall
They crash down, warts and all
IYKYK ππ
The reason I've spent this weekend glued to my camera.
New collection coming out next week β¨οΈ
