I've been collecting too many lichen photos, so here's a small photo dump of a few of them. I find the flat ones just as interesting as the curly ones, and they're all the more interesting the closer you look.
That last one was an alpine forest species, and much larger than the others
Isaac and Rebecca, Known as ‘The Jewish Bride’, Rembrandt van Rijn, c. 1665 - c. 1669
To prevent being killed and having his wife captured by King Abimelech, Isaac concealed his love for Rebecca by pretending they were brother and sister. However, their intimacy betrayed them when they thought they were not being spied on. Rem ...
#wordweavers 01/05/2024 Introduce your setting as if it's a character in your story.
The McAlistair mansion POV: “I’m currently the host of Esther and her strange little maid. Before I belonged to Esther’s husband, but he wasn’t with them when they came back from the colonies. Something has happened there, I don’t know what, but it makes Esther ill. The little strange maid tries her best to help.”
#wordweavers 02/05/2024 What are your MC's living conditions like? Are they better or worse than average?
Esther’s material conditions were pretty good, she had everything she wanted and even more (poney, dresses, jewels)
But it was at the price of terrible psychological conditions
Lately, her material conditions suddenly became precarious after the return from the colonies and her husband’s death

#wordweavers 05/05/2024 Are there characters or events that challenge your MC's belief system?
That’s the plot: the events at the Chamberlain’s Seminary will completely challenge the way Esther sees the world. I could quote @NaraMoore answer:
That the supernatural is real
⁃ The desirability of social conformity
⁃ That no one can be trusted (except Erié)
⁃ The world is a cursed place
#wordweavers 06/05/2024 Who is your most fun character?
Hmm my story doesn’t leave much place for fun, but I would go with Lady D’Arcy. Being the villainess, she’s the one who can be the most funny, by her lack of moral limits and excesses.
#wordweavers 07/05/2024 What behaviors does your characters' society encourage?
As in the actual Victorian era, women are supposed to spouse a man and then to stay confined in the role of mother and home’s mistress. They are expected to be modest and discreet.
#wordweavers 08/05/2024 What behaviors does your characters' society discourage?
For a woman : being a free and independent, someone who stands for herself instead of staying in the shadows of her man, someone proud of herself, someone sexually very active (and not shy about it), well, everything Lady d’Arcy is.
So I just learned about #Portfolioday sadly I seem to be a day late for this month, but I hope it's alright if I still share.
My name is Laura; I've been drawing in some form or other since the early 2000s, but decided to focus on it more seriously in 2018. If I have a niche, it's likely best described as "weird eyes" but I honestly enjoy drawing whatever comes to mind. My main media are colored pencils & inks, but I'm also learning about water colors using water color pencils and I occasionally play with markers. All of my polishing up is done via Clip Studio Paint.
I have shops on Redbubble & Ko-fi where I sell stickers, printables & digital downloads.
Thank you for the opportunity to share. Below are recent designs I've done.
I know it's kind of cheating, but I'm so pleased to be stitching and creating again post-op that I have to share my #wip of Haddon windows studies for #FensterFreitag
