I'd like to introduce you to LJS 57, a compendium of Astronomical text in Hebrew, written in Spain around 1391. It's an interesting combination of astronomy and astrology, and illustrates how the division between "science" and "not science" was not nearly so clear in the past as it is today. It has some fantastic illustrations of constellations!

Happy Makers Monday!

I spent some time over the weekend working on orders, including one of my favorite items in the shop, the Bunny Belt. :)

It's always fun working on these little murder buns.

You can snare your own at the shop here

Wishing you all a wonderful week. I'm super excited to see those of you coming out to the Revenge of the Dragon event in Monroe WA this weekend. It's bound to be a hopping good time. ^^

Best!

640-year-old fly, anyone?

We're not sure how long this fly has been in this 14th-century notary's notebook, but it was a favorite among the students who spotted it in class a few weeks ago.

LJS 280 is an abbreviated version of the decretals compiled by Raymond of Peñafort in the 1230s by order of Pope Gregory IX. It was written in France in the second half of the 13th century, bound in sheepskin over wooden boards in the 15th-century, and attached to this chain in the 17th century.

Transmutation II The second part to an already exisiting piece also expanding the collection of the albino werewolf pieces. This piece was long in the waiting phase. It was sketched alongside the other piece but always landed on the backburner somehow.

Okay quick update! Since posting this piece I've already got several messages of people asking me if the new piece will be available as well. I've decided to extend the tapestry form until Sun. 17th of November & adding the new piece to the selection!
