"Seraphim with folded arms".Sketch for the painting of St. Vladimir's Cathedral in Kyiv (1885/1893)
Viktor Vasnetsov (1848-1926)
Found this in my stash and I'm kinda into it but what the hell is it meant for. I'm thinking of it as thread but would it even be possible to sew with? Very thin yarn? Idk. I think it's something my mum bought in the 90s.
are you a Byron or Wilde apologist?

Obsessed with this seal grey (wool!) velvet. Imagine having the funds and the occasion to turn it into a selkie coat.

have cut out lining for pixie hood. main fabric is unfortunately in a box on top of my wardrobe where I am scared to climb but MAYBE I'll do it after posting this just because I'm so so brave
I actually did fetch the fabric only to discover it was both another colour than I remembered (very dark navy and not petrol-y green) AND more than I remembered (90x155 cm) and now it feels like a bit of a waste to use a small part of it to make a lil hood. Maybe I should get another fabric for the hood and do something else with this wool? Maybe that's an applique vest (but it will be very warm. also if I use wool I don't think I'll quilt it.. my vision was a quilted linen vest. gambeson-core I guess.) Idk. I'm going to sleep on it.

Spin the 17th century death wheel and tell me how you died in the tags
Currently obsessed with these naturalistic illuminations from a manuscript of De Proprietatibus Rerum (1447, Bibliothèque d'Amiens, ms. 399). I just know that whoever commisioned this must have hired the nearest autistic artist with an insane obsession for birds before proper birdwatching was even a thing. They hired the nearest De arte venandi cum avibus fanboy.
Like, the fact that despite the stylized drawings you can clearly tell that these are a corvus corax, a corvus cornix and a corvus corone?! Hello?!?!
I love you, unknown french artist from the 15th century.

just as I was falling asleep yesterday I was woken up by a loud electronic beep coming from inside my head and in my groggy state I became very concerned that this was a sign I was actually an android so I had to lie there and catalogue signs of organic life until I fell asleep for real
soup!!
