Just a doodle 💖 I started taking 19th-century dance classes a couple of months ago. And in a month, there will be a Ball, I hope to capture some memories of the event and my classmates. ✨

Doodle. White Line work on Chalkboard. 
Man a woman dresses like xix in a Ball.

Hi everybody! 🥹 I disappeared from social media for the whole of 2025. I hope to change that this year. I no longer feel that “X” is a safe place for various reasons.❤️‍🩹 So I hope to start taking this platform seriously and make a fresh start. Thank you to everyone who has been here helping it grow!

Here are 543 images (1.5GB) of items at the Philadelphia Museum of Art arms and armor exhibit You're free to use them for anything, even commercially. I tried to focus on details not usually represented in available reference material drive.google.com/file/d/1NRzg... Here's a small sampling:

A closeup view of an ornate cuirass and tasset, showing heart-shaped designs along the edges of the metal panels.An extremely ornate ceremonial halberd head showing etched and blackened designs with various plants, mythical creatures, and heraldic designs.A closeup of the shoulder intersection of the cuirass, pauldron, and bevor of a piece of 1500s field armor. Some ornate etching of the crucifixion is visible in the lower right corner on the cuirass.

Time for another reference dump! This zip file contains 2,566 photos (6.58 GB) from the Metropolitan Museum of Art arms and armor collection. I tried to focus on the types of details you don't see in most available reference, like hinges and fasteners. Enjoy! drive.google.com/file/d/1emF3...

A shot of an eggplant-shaped samurai helmet sitting on a wooden stand in a museum display case. It's made of darkened metal and has gold trim and accents.A closeup shot of some buttons, fasteners, and ties on a small section of a samurai armor set's front chest plate. There are various ornate patterns, complex knots, and overlapping pieces.A closeup shot of the thumb and forefinger of a European steel gauntlet inlaid with gold. It has bronze rivets and a white leather glove under the overlapping finger armor pieces.A closeup shot of an extremely ornate double barreled shotgun's firing mechanism and trigger. The hammers are shaped like squirrels holding nuts and there is floral filigree everywhere.

I'm terrible at maintaining social networks more and more... for a year now I think... On the one hand the pressure, IA, NDA or others... I feel like I should try to be more consistent and such.
