River running through town.Photos from our visit Schwäbisch Hall six weeks ago. It’s also proof that we can take pictures at noon an when it’s 35°C.I have never been a person who is fond of sightseeing. Having grown up in a tourist-town I am never comfortable when I feel like I am a tourist somewhere. It doesn’t go away completely, but when I go there with the purpose to create art, I feel a lot less awkward.When Mornienna and I visited Schwäbisch Hall, it had been very hot for weeks and the river was not very high in water. Kids were playing on the riverbank, but we managed to get the space for ourselves for am bit after they left.

♦️ Spring Days ♦️

I wanted to draw something with flower crests and spring meadows So I used the possibility to draw a single picture of Yonviagain!

This was before her mother died and before she went sick and Roderick forbid her to leave the castle.
She always enjoyed riding out, enjoying nature and collecting flowers. She never really wanted to understand why Roderich kept her locked up in the castle later on…even though he only did it because he was scared for her.

This picture is based on a painting of Alexandre Cabanel (1823 - 1889)

(Arro von Spey & Ellyonvi are my OCs from my story ‚VOGELFREY‘)

Theodelinda, queen of the Lombards (c. 570-628), marries Agilulf, duke of Turin (died 616).

My Medieval Girl

Last sunday, I went to Picnic Vitoriano São Paulo wearing my medieval gown, inspired on the early 14th century fashion.

I used a lot of research to decided on this outfit, but I really love the final result of this! :)

How is Pennsic already over? I remember last year it dragged on for what felt like forever - I never had enough sleep, or enough time, or enough patience. I loved the experience, I wouldn’t trade it for anything, but the whole thing felt like a struggle because I never knew what to expect. To be honest, I was happy to go home.

When this Pennsic started, it felt like last Pennsic never ended. It’s as if my life was put on pause last August and everything this year has just been a part of one big intermission, filling in the gaps, pushing time along. When Pennsic started, life resumed.

Same lake, same good company, same walk up the hill to work. Same shops, same food, same customers. Just like last year, the sun would set and the smoke would rise like an old friend and linger until the morning light.

Weirdly enough, when I’m home I almost miss the drumming. To be honest, after a few days of Pennsic you stop hearing the drums - they just fade into the atmosphere, become a part of your heartbeat, lull you to sleep. As I sit in my bedroom writing this I feel a certain sense of loss, as if the quiet night isn’t quite as peaceful when it’s not marred by that steady rhythm. 

Last year I couldn’t wait to go home, I basically ran to the airport. This year, I was grasping at the moments, watching tents collapse and the dust rise as people filed away down the dirt roads around us. I didn’t want it to leave, I had so much more to do and so many people to hug. I had poetry to write and walks to go on and carp to feed. By the time we left, it wasn’t Pennsic anymore, it was just Cooper’s Lake Campground. 

I suppose I’m now existing in the twilight zone between Pennsics, and next July my life will resume.
