From the womb the law was laid to go, but to be certain things,

There is nothing to perpetuate under the sun from the latter path that was gradually born under him

Death is an insidious figure seeking to ensnare us.

Plant of the Day

Tuesday 3 December 2024

The insignificant greenish-white flowers of Euonymus europaeus (spindle, ananbeam, catwood, pegwood, skewerwood) are followed by 4-lobed red fruits which split to reveal orange seeds. This small tree or shrub is a great addition to a native British hedge.

I’m glad we agree that Deerleap and Archeye were mates lol

I finished my Shadow tree if you’d like me to dm it for ideas? I don’t know if it was blurry for you last time or not

I think Nightwing and Wildfur would be siblings though! And I gave Happykit the suffix Happydance, he does a little jig after every successful hunt

I saw it! Dw!

Yeah Deer and Arch feel right to me too. I've always seen Arch with some brown on him and Deer has "white legs" which I think translates well into Mudfoot's brown legs.

Night and Wildfur are siblings in authorial statements and I was going to make them related too, but then I realized... I'm drawing Wild, White, and Kink as all being fucking ridiculously fluffy. They should be related.

I could make them cousins still but something feels right about them being related. I may break them into 2 litters, Kink/White being sisters and Wild/Night being siblings. But I'm unsure.

rotating the concept of tree bark fibre as the oldest surviving example of spun fibre and how it continues to be used to this day in my mind

Raided my parents’ garden again 👍

I was looking around our backyard yesterday and we have passion fruit, grapes, and blackberries. Also hackberry, though I wasn't able to identify it to tell if it was native or not.

Have been making more spindles recently bc its a pretty good constant low level migraine activity. This particular one isnt done but spins super well, better than the beautiful one that i bought. Definitely not as pretty though. Have been debating whether i want to try decorating them or not. I did used to paint my handmade drop spindles with oil paints but 1) it takes a really long time to dry completely when the humidity is this high and 2) i kinda left all my oil paints outside in the greenhouse so i dont even know if theyre still usable. Other options would be attempting to carve a design, which i see going poorly or else woodburning something, which i also see going poorly with the added risk of burning myself again. So im undecided.
