Black for Me, Green for You

Some weeks ago a parcel arrived here in Marburg, containing a swap gift for me from sweet Rogue D’ Arcanto. I once made a hat for her (she was named Cuore.Lacrimante then) and now she was the one who made my top for the Natron & Soda Community shirt swap. She kindly took care for my love of crows and old rose colour and made the loveliest back I’ve ever seen on a T-shirt.

Please excuse the quality, but I couldn't just get it right.

I love how many shades these sequins can have

Oh, and Rogue sent me a Jack Skellington brooch, too!

I myself made a shirt for freudenkind who once sent me an adorable pair of gaiters and a skirt from the Discworld swap. She told me in her notice that she liked military styles, bats and cats, so I let my imagination fly and made this one:

I’m happy to be able to say that she was quite delighted with the shirt.

Favourite Words In September

Only English words today, I don’t know why… anyway:

1. Haberdashery – Isn’t that word and his content great?
2. Twirl – It sounds so warm and green with a little orange to me… and a little off-white.
3. Pig – I like pigs and I like the word. What more to say?
4. Cradle – An old-fashioned one, of course. Maybe with a sheepskin in it, maybe made of woven willow, with a baldachin or wheels.
5. Enchanted – I originally wanted to pick disenchanted but I found it to dark and sad for a list like the above. ^^
