Ihanaa perjantaita! 🌸 Olen ostanut kolme tällaista tuikkukuppia aikoinaan Japanista. Ne ovat olleet aarteeni, sitten niistä kaksi hajosi. Tämän viimeisen toin sisälle turvaan. Siitä tulikin ihana pikkumaljakko! ps. bongaa Miso 🐈⬛ peilistä! ♥️ @oravankesapesa #oravankesäpesä #siirtolapuutarha #allotmentgarden #koloni #koloniträdgård #kolonihave #schrebergarten #kleingarten #bauerngarten #siirtolapuutarhamökki #allotmentcottage #kolonistuga #allotmentlife #kolonihaveliv #siirtolapuutarhaelämää #visualoflife #softminimalism #itsallaboutthedetails #awakethelight #forprettysake #poetryofsimplethings #amomentofwonder #myfairytale #cozymoments #make_more_magic #beautyundermynose #slowandglow #inspiredliving #misotheexotic https://www.instagram.com/p/CfvigqMNaeQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

2. March 2017: A painting by Gustav Klimt has become the third most expensive artwork ever sold in Europe, after fetching a record price of £47,971,250 ($59,321,248) at Sotheby's, Bauerngarten (Flower Garden) became the Austrian symbolist's highest-priced landscape work when it was sold at the London auction house on Wednesday, the Telegraph reports.
Gustav Klimt (July 14, 1862 – February 6, 1918) was an Austrian symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. (x)
Renegade Winter Exchange 2022, part 1/2: Ship of Theseus by GallaPlacidia for @queercore-curriculum
When Harry gets amnesia and forgets he and Draco were ever married, he refuses treatment to remember.
You can find an archive of Galla’s work here hosted by the wonderful @geesenoises
Thoughts, details, and description behind the cut. The other book I bound for the exchange here.
I was incredibly honoured, excited, and intimidated to be matched with @queercore-curriculum for the Renegade winter exchange. They were one of the original impetuses for me to begin bookbinding — their gorgeous longstitch binds of some incredible Drarry fics have been so inspiring & their bookshelf photos make me want to cry with envy. @queercore-curriculum makes graceful and restrained binds, using color choice and stitching patterns carry the weight of the fic, instead of heavily-illustrated covers. I wanted to bind this fic to fit in with the other books on their shelf.
The first fic I bound them was GallaPlacidia’s Ship of Theseus. This is a gorgeous fic about forgiveness and falling in love and building a home together. One of the central motifs of the story is the garden that Draco grew at their shared cottage, and specifically the calla lilies in it. I designed a stitching pattern that evokes a more organic, floral shape than the criss-cross pattern I’ve tried before, and used white, buttercup, and emerald green thread stitched through a spine of dark grey bookcloth. I wanted the bind to be hopeful, to convey that spring was coming through the winter, just like in the fic. I then printed Gustav Klimt’s Bauerngarten (1907), which is in the public domain here, as joyful endpapers.
The floral motif carries through the typeset: California poppies as my bindery logo, a lily as the ornament to start the fic, and a small flower ornament as scene dividers, but I had to diverge for the title page. In the fic, when Harry proposes:
“I changed it,” said Harry. Draco brought it closer to his face, and saw that in the gold there were fine engravings. A ship in a full sail, a ship in a state of decay, a ship that had been rebuilt, slightly different. A repeating cycle.
I had to try to illustrate this because, really, I was tearing up when I got to that line. I’m not 100% happy with the final result (would probably rotate it to have a fully-built ship at the ‘top’ of the circle to make it more legible), but I am happy to include this part of the story on the title spread.
Title font: Mantinia
Body text: Dante
Ornaments: Bodoni Ornaments
Endpapers: Gustav Klimt’s Bauerngarten (1907)
Bookcloth: Duo bookcloth in Birch (no longer available)
Some notes on process: I always make a ‘test book’ that I keep before sending out a copy to someone else—this is to make sure everything works well & looks good together (which you can see in the photos). Happy to answer any questions about process improvements between test & final copy, or chat about this stitching pattern!
This is also my first time making a quarto letter book. I don’t actually love the size; the page is a bit square for me. Next time for a shorter fic, I’m going to experiment with a quarto legal book or A6 size.
Though publically known from the outset of his career for his allegorical compositions and female portraits, in the 1890s and afterwards landscape painting became an increasingly important outlet for Klimt’s creativity eventually accounting for nearly a quarter of his oeuvre. This shift was in part inspired by a major exhibition of Van Gogh paintings at the Galerie Miethke in Vienna which Klimt visited and greatly admired. Seeing Van Gogh’s ability to render brilliantly coloured landscapes using pure paint and few traditional techniques emboldened Klimt and he began using much thicker brushwork.
In Klimt’s Bauerngarten, the close-up of a flower garden with its tight perspective and emphasis on the painted surface is an outpouring of Klimt’s love of patterning and design. The riot of colors recalls backgrounds from some of his monumental frieze work, such as The Beethoven Frieze (1902), thrown down here in exaggerated profusion. The pyramidal structure gives form and shape to the intensity of patterning, which, like other of Klimt’s landscape works, plays on the polarizing effects of a predominant oppositional red-green palette. However, Klimt places the odd note of blue at the heart of this composition to act as a focal point within the color confusion.
In early letters to his mistress, Mizzi, Klimt outlined how his holidays with Emilie were a whirl of constant activity. An energetic sportsman, he wrote of a punishing daily routine: of early rising, painting, breakfast, swimming in the lake, painting, lunch, nap, swimming, or rowing, and then more painting after tea. He revealingly wrote, “doing nothing gets boring after a bit.” It is clear that he was an utterly driven man. Obsessed by his beloved work, he took no true holidays - every day was an artistic journey of discovery. Away from the confines of the city, this powerfully built man enjoyed “shaking up the muscles” with a rigorous program of physical exercise.
