#vintage rambles

A bunch of random WIPs which will hopefully be finished soon (if my PC stops acting up the way it is now 🙄). Most of those things are almost ready for release, but there's always just this one tiny detail left to improve...

Details under the cut in case you're interested!

A loose-fitting Celtic tunic worn over an underdress, in 2 flavours: with narrow and wide sleeves. I made it over a year ago (!!!) and used a lot in my game, but somehow never was fully satisfied with the way those wide sleeves work - so, that's something to take a closer look at. I decided it also needs a new uv map (getting those sleeves out of the sleeves area), so that I could easily add short-sleeved and sleeveless variations. Also, age conversions, at least for a child. Also, tartan. And an overlay for mix&matching. And... 💀

A Roman ship from sketchfab, in 2 versions. This one is basically done, but one of the versions has an exploding shadow lod for some reason, so obviously I have to somehow fix it before release. No idea how though. By making a new package probably, I've heard that works 😅

A Romano-Viking Londinum house, also found on sketchfab, to be used as hood deco. Also was about to be released, but I decided it needs a decent uv map first, because the current one... oh boy. That means lots of seams marking. I think I'm ca. 75% done with this one.

Gallo-Roman earrings, based on a photo found on Pinterest. The mesh works perfectly fine, but I still need to work on the texture. Finding proper lighting settings should be the key - then it'll be just baking and voila!

A CK3 cape converted to TS4. A.k.a. my latest obsession 😉 Still needs some weights etc. tweaking, then age conversions, and then... Off to the next of the looted meshes! 🏴‍☠️ It might be the latest of my projects, but it'll probably end up getting released as the first one from this list 😁

Hey loves, I’ve been having a bit of a hard time mentally and been struggling to output anything so the next chapter is gonna be a bit delayed but it’s coming. I promise. I’m going to work on it on Monday and hopefully Sunday.

I have a bunch of flash I need to draw up and to announce my books opening for November as well. I’m fucking tired, but it’ll happen. I love you and All for Show too much to leave it hanging.

In honor of Black History Month: Ellen Eglin

(TW: historic racism)

OK, so it's 1880 and you're doing laundry. You've hauled the water in from the well or river. You've built up the fire and you've soaked or boiled everything in soapy water, hauled it out and dumped it into clean water for a rinse and now you're ready to hang it on the line. You reach in and pull something out and start wringing the excess water out by hand. Squeeze, twist, squeeze. Then the next thing. Pretty soon your wrists start to hurt. Squeeze, twist, squeeze. Doing laundry in the nineteenth century sucks. At least that's what Ellen Eglin might have thought when she invented the laundry wringer. Behold! You can now feed each piece of laundry in between the adjustable rollers, turn the handle and squeeze out more water more easily then ever before.

This is what we would call a "game changer" in the world of laundry. In fact, the basic wringer was improved on and sold commercially as part of the washing experience as late as the 1960's. And you can still buy a wringer today from places like Amazon and Walmart.

Ellen Eglin was a brilliant woman and she was also a woman of color. In 1891 she was interviewed by "The Woman Inventor" and explained why she sold her game changing invention to a white person for $18.00 (approx. $450 today):

As far as I can find out, Ellen Elgin spent the rest of her life as a government clerk and there is no mention of any other inventions. Meanwhile the owners of the Universal Clothes Wringer were putting out ads like this:

Ugh.

I love your vamp family!! Would you ever consider adding stickers or prints of them to your shop?

i hope you're having a lovely day❤️

i definitely would, it just depends how many people want them!! i think also a rabbit casket band shirt would work out really well too

stickers might not be too far away actually bc with the art style i can just do them myself on my thermal printer >:))

If I encounter one more page saying that Boudica led her armies into battle fully naked and covered in a layer of woad paint, I'm going to riot.
