Merry Lammas! I thought this weekend would be the perfect time to share another look at my finished Sun mask. The sun and it’s influence on a plentiful harvest have made it a deity of people for over 7000 years. Many customs and festivals that still exist today have their origins in sun worship. 🌞
A throwback to my Crow Elf from last year. Would anyone be interested if I decided to sell some of these sculpture pieces? This wee fellow lives on the edge of an ancient forest and likes to steals/borrow any shiny object he spots. His Crow guise helps him traverse undetected if he moves fast enough
A closer look at my finished Mandrake marionette. I’m so happy with how they turned out, especially the leaves and little tears. 🌿
Absolutely in love with this new dahlia from the garden and the new vase we got in an antique shop this weekend ✨
This little gem ended up coming home with us today. It's glazed terracotta and was sold as Austrian, possibly from the 1920s. I just fell in love with the stylisation, for me it is reminiscent of Walter Bosse But I have no idea who made it. ✨
My current #wip the mole in her garden, starting off with the most important inhabitants 🪱 #embroidery
Planning this moomin house from last year as the next piece to get framed, it will look so lovely up on someone’s cosy home wall 💚
Roughing out a new marionette concept, this time a Green Man. 🌿
Home decor but make it folk horror ✹ I really love how the tiny masks look displayed as sets with the full-sized ones ✹
Menswear Menagerie: Clothes I'm wearing this summer.
JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

I’m excited to share my first finished tiny mask, a Wood Mouse! In European folklore, Wood mice are often seen as omens and their behavior interpreted as foretelling weather changes or if a harvest would be plentiful. 🌾
A perfect visual depiction of me in this heat. My finished Mandrake marionette unstrung. 🌞
I’m excited to share my finished Mandrake marionette in action. I’m so happy with how they turned out, especially the leaves and little tears. 💦
A new treasure we bought this week was this absolutely charming bat torch. I have no idea who made it or when but as soon as I saw him, I knew I needed him! Such a brilliant design and perfect for crawling through dungeons in style 🦇
It’s turning in to a nasturtium jungle out here, really pleased with the shade of red of those hollyhocks too 💚
