Hi, I don't really wanna bother you, but I have seen a bot that has stolen your profile pic and the header. It's a weird amazon job bot. Just wanted to tell you so you know. I'm going to report it now for spam

Ig the good thing from this bot is the fact that it showed me your amazing art

(photo evidence: )

Thank you for pointing this out to me (and thank you to everyone else who sent an ask) !

That's definitely not me, but I think everyone could guess, lol. Kind of weird and uncanny. I think the best we can do is indeed to report for bot/spam ; it's not doing much harm to me specifically and I doubt anyone is fooled, but I still wouldn't want my tumblr likeness used to promote shitty scams or sponsored links.

If you guys have a minute to click report, please do so !

Kicking off this blog with one of the most beautiful 16th century doublets in existence (in my opinion): the green summer doublet of Duke Moritz of Sachsen-Lauenburg, who lived between 1551 and 1612. The whole doublet is covered with long slits, thus making it ideal for hot summer days. The huge sleeves were super fashionable during the 1580s and 90s, yet few extant garments with this feature survive.

Your stained glass window vest is STUNNING! Are you willing to share your pattern, or its source if it's available for purchase?

Thank you ! I'm going to take the opportunity for a permanent answer post to this question since I've given the pattern in dozens of comments ever since I started posting about the project, but obviously that isn't a convenient way for people to find the information !

Tracery Vest by Kathleen Sperling aka Wipinsanity on Ravelry and on her own website

As you can see the shape of the garment itself is a bit different from what I did. The ribbing in the original makes for a nice fitted silhouette, but I'm quite short in the burst and not hourglass shaped at all, so I made some alterations. I reduced the corrugated ribbing to half of its length, and added a few rows of colourwork to close the ribbing lines into an archway pattern. Then, I added one repetition of the windows at the bottom of the pattern chart, before returning to the pattern instructions as if I'd just finished the ribbing section. I also changed the bind-off in pattern into a stretchy bind off in order to keep the armholes and neckline a little looser. I also added a central double decrease every other row for the vneck.

There you go ! Def more info than you asked for but I hope you don't mind me using your ask as a jumping-off point.

Cheers everyone !

Hey did you do that series of drawings of people throughout the ages? Like the medival period, 1920s, etc? I’m trying to find the artist and I can’t find their drawings!

Nope, sorry ! Maybe someone in the replies can help if they know which series you're talking about !

my toxic trait is that i genuinely believe that the side effects of immortality won't affect me. i have so much stuff i want to learn i won't even notice the centuries go by. also i'm nosey as hell so the decades-deep gossip would keep myself from isolating from human society because i want to know what's going on. i would make such a good vampire i stand by this

Happy to report that the vest is vesting chaps
