I currently have around 45 books left in stock :) THE HOWLING HOWFF BOOK

"The Howling Howff is a support group run by werewolves, for werewolves: specifically, new, potentially emotionally (and physically) scarred werewolves. This book is a 101 on what it means to be a werewolf and how to navigate a sometimes confusing existence. Other ‘bitten’ werewolves who have reviewed this material have mentioned words like “tone deaf” and “drastically out of touch”, but we here at The Howling Howff understand denial and anger are an intrinsic part of their human side and we do not hold it against them – or you!" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ If you like satirical folk horror and werewolves, then this is the book for you!

The book itself is 60 pages (including covers) and is currently available to pre-order once more in my Ko-fi shop - THE HOWLING HOWFF PRE-ORDER . I have to hit around 30 orders to be able to bulk buy, at which point it'll take around 2-2.5 weeks for the printer to sort (the covers have metallic ink inlaid :D) and then I'll happily ship them out!

My ko-fi shop also has a separate upgrade option for tracked shipping and I've shipped all over the world with little issue. You can purchase it here - TRACKED SHIPPING UPGRADE

You'll also find a bunch of other goodies in my shop like Art Cards, Prints, Patch and Stickers :) - OTHER GOODIES ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Any support is much appreciated! I'm currently working towards a second book which will be available as a Kickstarter project hopefully around June! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

I'll be closing pre-orders on Monday 21st of April as I'll be putting the bulk order in :). Book sales will resume in 2-3 weeks time after the pre-orders are packed and shipped.} Huge thank you for everyone who purchased a copy so far! You've made the second re-print possible

I’m considering actually trying to campaign for this (impossible, probably) since River City’s being shut down and so far not replaced.

Scottish-led productions should be happening in Scotland. We have the studios, we just don’t seem to get to use them.

If you’re sending post this Christmas, spare a thought for the historical residents of the remote Scottish island archipelago of St Kilda, who sometimes sent letters to the mainland using 'mailboats' like this one.

Consisting of a crudely carved boat with a compartment for a letter, it uses a sheep's bladder as a flotation device. St Kilda is only about 100 miles from the Scottish mainland, but could be largely inaccessible for months due to rough seas. When in need of assistance, these devices could be launched in the hope that they would be discovered and opened. Left to the mercy of the Atlantic, mail could end up in Iceland or Scandinavia.

The isolated lifestyle of the inhabitants of St Kilda became increasingly unsustainable and in 1930 the last of the islanders were voluntarily evacuated, leaving behind a unique Gaelic-speaking culture that had subsisted largely on the islands' massive population of seabirds.

Visitors to St Kilda have made a tradition of continuing to send these 'mailboats'. In 2020, some children on a beach in northern Norway discovered an example containing postcards, that had been cast out to sea 10 years before to mark the 80th anniversary of the evacuation. It had travelled 1,000 miles over that period.

Fun fact 'Grian' means sun in Scottish. So. Have fun with that.

It also is spelt 'ghrian', so more funny misspelt names

:)

Also in Past Life Pearl, Grian and Gem are teamed up so The Sun, The Moon, and The Stars (because Gemini) or crystals (because Gem. Which ever way you want to look at it.) Celestial Trio my beloved And please give me credit if you use this for fanfics or art. :)

Scrimshaw Carving from the Waling Ship Alexander dated to 1853 on display at the McManus Art Gallery and Museum in Dundee, Scotland

Scrimshaw is the art of engraving designs on to the teeth and bones of whales and other large marine animals. This was a common past time for the crew on long journeys.

This piece depicts the crew of the Alexander mid-hunt. The whale boat is all action in the pursuit of the whale, a figure stands at the back of the boat with harpoon in hand. Engraved on the back is "Whaler Alexander of Dundee" a ship that joined the whaling fleet in 1831.

New to Tumblr, going to start dumping some of the stone carving that I've done here.

This big slate carving is based on a design from the Book of Kells, all hand carved with hammer and chisels.
