as a child being told "the moon controls the tides" with no additional explanation was like. oh okay. you want me to believe in magic? you're talking about magic right now? okay. fine
As I approach the end of my undergraduate degree in archaeology, I wanted to make a small thank you gift for my dissertation supervisor. She specialises in the early medieval period and is a big cat fan so I found a funky image from a Medieval Manuscript and embroidered a version of it for her!
The original image (final image!) is from the Peterborough Bestiary, produced in Peterborough, England during the early 14th century and now housed at Corpus Christi College, University of Cambridge (MS 53, fol. 197v).
getting inspired to create stuff is honestly the meaning of life. like i found a great story and now i wanna make a cool story too. literally could there be any better feeling
this is the craziest painting i have ever seen
