And another one, because I'm obsessed, and because for some mysterious reason carving with shaking hands is way easier than drawing. Carved shell, moss and resin, sea glass and pearls for a necklace.

Piranesi concept art!
I hadn’t seen anyone really tackle the drowned halls yet (as far as I know) so I thought I’d take a crack at it to practice painting environments

one of the things i love the most about piranesi is how the main character is this kind, inquisitive person who loves the world he inhabits and feels loved by it in turn, and how this is not something he needs to grow past, rather it is what saves him and keeps him alive. being observant, curious, wanting to learn about the House, being grateful for all it gives him, this is what keeps him alive and what helps him through the events that take place

Industriousness embodied
she is my favorite statue too!
#piranesi#susanna clarke#my art#she was the statue that i could imagine the clearest#ignore the fact that having a beehive built on your arm would be basically impossible#also i keep noticing that all my art gets super desaturated when i post on tumblr and twitter... hopefully this ones better#i. got my lefts and rights mixed upTTOTTTTTT unless piranesi was describing her from his pov (unlikely)

i loved the part of the book where piranesi resolves to take better care of himself while he's rediscovering his own history. he just has so much compassion for himself! the journal upsets him so he takes a week off and does things he enjoys and then he settles into a safe place when he wants to tackle the subject again. and he doesn't believe The Other when he's told about his amnesia! he values his own insights and his own knowledge of the House even when fucking ketterley is actively trying to undermine his sense of self. piranesi's gentle treatment of himself and the person he used to be is genuinely so moving.
#piranesi#i could go on about his recounting of the times he let himself go hungry and made stupid decisions#but there's nothing in the way of self-recrimination#he just says:#i didn't know then what i know know and i would do things differently#he stands up for himself when he's talking to raphael too even though he likes her#obvs he's got oodles of compassion for other people too#he takes care of the dead. he gives nesting material to the albatrosses. he leaves the herring gulls alone before retrieving the paper#he enters the scary room for The Other. he warns sixteen about the flood. he blesses the prophet#(who does not fucking deserve it)#he writes directions to the statue#even when he comes back he goes and finds poor james ritter#but it's the self compassion that touches me the most

Piranesi: I like seeing pretty things and being happy and nice
The Other: god you’re so selfish
Piranesi: everyone who’s ever lived is my friend

A second try, it finally turned out the intended way! A Piranesi-inspired miniature, carved shell, moss and resin. It will be a pendant for a long necklace, and daaaaamn I want to make like a thousand of these.

I was in a house with many rooms. The sea sweeps through the house. Sometimes it swept over me, but always I was saved.
Susanna Clarke, Piranesi
