#into a sculpture one day
Text
I have cleared out space in the puzzle/electronic closet for these bad boys but I should probably clean them first but who knows when I will have time for that fall break next week 🫡🫡🫡
#I wanna see if they work god I wanna use them in liek an art/installation type thing at times like this I wish I had gone through with the a#accelerated masters in art I was offered in undergrad. bc then I would have mroe ideas/connections about how to set up an installation piece#what is an installation but a ordeal in my home that makes my roommates hate me#so they will be stored away til I have time to figure that out#also adding to my fear that I’m destined to be a horder bc I like to collect old technology and broken things with the hopes of turning them#into a sculpture one day#my hoarder neighbor has done an incredible job starting to get ride of her like hoard that blocks the view of her house right so like I gues#I shall take her place

God, can you imagine what Rick would've been like if he'd been there for Michonne's pregnancy? He went to so much effort to find her toothpaste - and not just any sort, the exact flavour she said was her favourite - I can just see him off on a two day scavenger hunt just to bring her back a jar of olives she mentioned craving.
#richonne#that man loves to shower his wife with anything she desires#that cat sculpture#an 'm' necklace to replace the one she lost#because she mentioned never finding a 'michonne' souvenir#he's going to art and craft her a 'michonne' licence plate one day#candle lit dinner for their MRE's

Photo
[ID Painted clay sculpture of a Przewalski’s horse standing knee deep in water, gazing down. Each photo shows a different angle. End ID]
I feel this one requires a bit of explaining because of how rough it looks; I was trying out different clays after the one I normally use was discontinued, and this particular clay ended up crumbling, so I awkwardly slapped it back together with another not great clay. And It was kind of an experiment in armature, to make the legs longer (as opposed to my usual slug mode). As a result it’s been getting used as a testing site for paint and varnish. Also I gave it plastic eyes for some reason 🤔

... why he sit like this
#in this position his face is extremely 'cartoon cat' shaped.. like the perfectly round cheeks and little#rounded bump of a snout.. big round eyes. etc. stretched over the arm of a chair like a weirdo#cats#It's still Hot Evil Summer time and I have so much to do so am just aimlessly hopping between various projects but not actually#getting anything done. as usual. Also so so so so tired. I almost fell asleep in the middle of the floor like 3 times today lol#Trying to finish some costume photos and also another poll adventure thing. plus I do really want to do a sculpture sometime#I haven't finished one in a while. Hopefully my tiredness is nothing bad.#Maybe I'm anemic again so that's making me tired. Or maybe it's just a Listless phase. not that I'm ever really THAT productive considering#all of the health problems and etc. always holding me back. but still. I'm not usually 'sleep or just stare at a wall literally all day' ty#e unproductive.. at least not for multiple days in a row so. hmm... Sometimes especially in the summer though I will have periods of time#that are listless like that. I am under low level phyiscal stress for months at a time due to summer heat so I guess it makes sense#that would eventually take a toll. I just have SO MANY THINGS I WANT TO DO!!!!! AAUUGhhh#I also came up with a new idea for a game that is so so cool and I wish I could make it but I have to finish the other one first lol#which I will NEVER do. if I spend all day just sleepy unfocused barely able to do anything#I also really need to sell some clothes and sculptures because I'll probably have to buy a new computer soon so I need money. (plus still#recovering the costs of having to euthanize my other cat.. wehh) There's nothing clearly wrong with it right now but it's getting gradually#slower and there's more weird glitches happening randomly and idk.. just weird things that make me think 'hmm... bad.. possibly.'#ANYWAY... I just have so much to do that I both REALLY want or need to do - so it's perpetually frustrating that I just can't for whatever#reason like. Time is always mving forward. every day I waste is a wasted day. The year is already almost half over. I havent finished#any of the projects I wanted to .. and there's only more and more things to do each day. It's overwhelming and stinky#and thats not even considering having to do all of my tasks also with the background noise of economic inequality. everything increasingly#going into an even scarier political direction. active climate change crisis. pandemic that still exists and is insane to act otherwise. et#etc. HOW am I supposed to solo make two whole games . write 3 book series. finish sculptures. do costumes. make outfits. game videos. make#stable network of social connections. do my little side crafts. take care of myself and cats. pay rent. manage health issues. keep a routin#.try to make some sort of money. go to doctors appointments. handle regular maintenance like cleaning and cooking and self care#and buying new plates when old ones break or etc. make sure to do other things like backup my computer data regularly. do shopping lists.#take care of plants. pursue like 6 different academic interests. do the other side side projects I have for fun (like music or carving avoc#ado pits). eat in a healthy way thats okay for my Special Health Issue diet. exercise so i don't die early. etc. etc. etc. AND all while it#82F in my apartment all the time and I have tiny income and also need to move to another country/climate somehow??? lol......#ANYWAY.. ..very frustrated today over my chronic Tired Sleepy.. time for Cat Photos - which cure all of life's ailments lol

i rlly wish there were more fan theories about how the twins went about the process of turning Ambrose into a giant elaborate mantrap murder playground filled with waxified corpses. I’m absolutely enamored by the absurdity of it if y’all have any thoughts pls feel free to share
#‘their parents were dead and Ambrose was empty’ just isn’t satisfying enough as an explanation for me#there’s gotta be more to it… mama lets do some research#there’s no way Bo woke up one day and went ‘yea im gonna LARP as a mechanic and commit thoroughly planned atrocities’#vincent just casually uses real people as sculpting shortcuts the way you’d draw over deviantart bases#house of wax 2005#bo sinclair#vincent sinclair#lester sinclair#my personal hc is that Vincent started his unethical sculptures as a kind of horrific maladaptive way to cope with his moms death#and the collapse of his hometown#he’s bringing people back into Ambrose trying to make Ambrose just as impressive as it was when trudy was in charge of things#unlike Trudy Vincent just prefers the people to be no-longer-alive as a yknow stylistic thing. inspired by his trauma. and also bo

Anton has become Real‼️‼️
i made this guy out of CLAY because he’s my little brain blorbo and hasn’t left my thoughts for over six months straight. now he exists and is haunting me but that’s okay!!! i want him to.
here’s a bunch of pictures of him i took Just Now, featuring Louie’s green grass rug (canon to tllr btw), a mouse, a goose, the freak Spamton G. Spamton himself, and more green cuz that’s our favorite color! have fun and beware :)
RAT!!!!!! 🐀🐀🐭🐭🐭🐀🐀🐁🐁🐀🐭🐭🐭🐁🐁🐁🐁🐁🐀🐭🐭🐁🐭🐀🐀🐀🐁🐁🐭🐭🐭🐀🐭🐭🐁🐭 and GOOSE!!!!! 🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿🪿
why
here’s him next to Spamton for size reference
here’s this picture i took the night i brought him home… he lives there now. on the back of my giant goose in the grass. his natural habitat
here’s the creepy thing before it was fired in the kiln 💥💥💥💥. i risked my life taking these shitty photos so you better appreciate them /lh. (my school doesn’t allow phones but i bring mine to class anyway)
also! i’ll definitely post more pictures in the future because i think this is very cool and also very silly that he exists now in the physical plane. (if ur an artist, feel free to tell me how to make him look better because this was my first time making something like this out of clay and i just don’t like painting very much. if anyone has advice GIMME!!! also i tried making his glasses out of wire but it didn’t turn out well. oops)
anyway i hope you all like the FREAK!!!!!! (affectionate) this was very fun :) i might make borrower basil out of clay for our next free choice project too!! so excited about that!
#anton (real)#<— tag for the clay sculpture cuz it’s funny#if i got caught taking those pictures in class my phone would’ve been taken for over a month LOL my school does not play around#anton oc#my art#YIPPEE!!!!!!#i have a roommate now#if i dissapear one day just assume this guy grew a body and took me away#that’s such a normal thing to think about

ceramics collection: best of my May 2023 photosets!
[image descriptions: photographs of various ceramic sculptures and bowls. The first row of photos has two tiny yellow owls and one brown tripod dappled with yellow. The second row has a sand-colored bowl with a red crab on top and blue glaze in the bottom, a plain pink-and-cream breakfast bowl with a spoon in it, and a pale green ram. The third row has two cobalt blue otters in stiff poses, a black rabbit with large pink antlers and spiral designs, and a creamy rabbit with crescent-moon shaped horns. The fourth and last row has a white-and-green creature like a monkey crossed with a cat, a green pinch pot tripod with several black rats painted onto the bottom, and a green bowl with a gorilla inside and a brown exterior.]

while source hunting i found "Determined Raptures": St. Sebastian and the Victorian Discourse of Decadence by Richard A. Kaye which i think is about what i was talking about a few months ago abt st sebastian always being drawn sexually, but it goes into why which is cool
link to me going on abt st sebastian always being so erotic that is mostly for me because i keep losing it and i need a link or else it will be lost forever
#apparently he's a homoerotic icon which. i am not surprised ngl#i also found “Wantoning with the Thighs”: The Socialization of Thigh Sex in England 1590-1730 by Will Fisher#which.#is interesting#anyway let's talk about my day because i want to#i've gathered a lot of sources for my eroticism paper and had a genius bigbrain moment where i realized michelangelo's dying slave#could maybe be a venus pudica (specific pose typically reserved for venus-like figures. aka “modest” venus)#and i was like. yippee!! that's inherently sexual!!!! and it came from my brain so i don't have to cite it#also someone came up to me curious to what i was doing (bc i am spread across a large table w a lot of papers and i keep staring at#michelangelo's slave sculptures. and i have been. for four hours)#and i was like. i'm doing research and it was cool. they like art hist too. yay#also today was my last forensic psych class :((#so sad. i love that class to death#also i almost got run over by a stupid fucking driver again!!!! >:(#this is because a main pathway for psych students in particular has so many blindspots and The Crosswalk is hiding from drivers#so they just hit the gas and hope no-one's crossing. but i am!!!! pay attention to your surroundings in a moderately high-foot-traffic area

boy in silly sitting positions compilation
#cats#I especially like the last one where he just has one single paw poking out of that box for some reason lol#I still have costumes to post and like a billion other things.... grr... constantly failing at staying active on social media aughh#I think because currently my Main Focus is on trying to get my game done and stuff.. which basically just means sitting and writing all day#so there's not much to post about. Though I know the Good At Social Media thing to do would be to post about the#writing and share progress and talk about the game and characters or whatever to try to build interest or something but that is SOOO weird#to me.. I could maybe get it if it was like a tiny tiny discord groupchat of playtesters with like 5 people in#it.. But something about talking openly about things before they happen is weird to me?? Like presumptuous feeling or something#''oooo guess whats gonna happen LATER!!!'' like.. how do you know.. what if it doesnt. what if you dont finish it. what if its not the way#you think it's going to be. what if something changes. etc. Like I literally avoid movie trailers and game trailers for the same reason ghj#Even if it's not ME doing it it just feels... weird.. Maybe it has to do with my OCD and how I just don't like talking about ''future''#things in Certain Terms. Like if I was going to say ''Oh yeah sure. come over to my house in a few months''. I would have to follow it up#with like ''HOPEFULLY you can come over to my house in a few months'' or 'They'll come over in a few months MOST LIKELY''. Because just#stating that something will happen matter of factly takes for granted like.. what if somehting horrible happens and I DONT have a house#in a few months? or what if something bad happens to me. or to the person coming over? I can't ever DEFINITELY say with 100% certainty#that one could ACTUALLY come to my house in a few months. anything could change. So I have to allot for that in my phrasing. hbjjkn#There are a lot of situations where you're expected to just Assume Things but for some reason that bothers me. My brain literally does not#even Assume the most basic things.. like how do *I* know that just because it's someones birthday that they want to be wished a happy#birthday? what if they dont? everyone is different and has different preferences. I should check with them first. or wait until they public#ly announce that theyre accepting birthday wishes. I have to allot for all 5034859069 rare possibilities at any given time and never take#anything for certain. etc. ghjbjhbh.... ANYWAY.. I have been feeling a bit sick lately as usual.. but still slowly making progress on some#things. Moslty I need to edit costume photos. make sculptures. and work on the game. Going back reading some of the old writing from like#2018 and suprisingly I don't have to change that much of it? In fact I like it mostly. so that's good. I would be very interested if I were#playing the game myself. Though that doesnt mean much since my tastes are so niche lol..#Still really want to clear some of my million tumblr drafts as well... alas and aughh and ooughh and so on and so forth. Between all of my#evil appointments other such things...why cant I have one billion dollar to retire into relaxed hermit artist life of no stressors.. bleas

I remain a fan of the San Mateo County Fair. Love seeing the works of local artists/crafters (though I still loath the hard distinction between the two encoded there) and always appreciate the chance to peer at tiny caged animals. The quilters knocked it outa' the park (like they always do) and the butterfly exhibit was back again which always leaves one feeling like a Disney princess.
My Pages of Pages book placed 3rd in the super-mooshed-together all paper category (I'm begging local Bay Area book artists to join me in entering next year! I wanna see more books there!). Was infuriated to see my Blue Book Head not displayed correctly-- found out the kindly old lady volunteering for item pickup was the reason why. "Oh, I wouldn't let them put [the pencil] between her legs" was her offhand comment when I remarked on it. Rather than get caught up in the gagging puritanism of that, I'm doubly resolved next year to volunteer myself and make sure things are done better/right.
#it's vain and silly but I oh so desperately want to win one of those giant purple ribbons some day 😭#give meeeeeeeee the special award!#was really struck by that blue flower embroidery- wish I had the eye to craft such things myself#Blue Book Head didn't place in the 'fine arts: sculpture' category which is fine whatever... am not a fine arts girl really...#county fair#san mateo county fair#quilts#not my art#domestic life

Pedro & Inês (cultural ramblie)
Happy Valentine's Day!! <3<3 When I planned this post, I did not realize Carnaval and Valentine's Day were on consecutive days (catholic calendar calculations continue to kick my ass, just like every year), so you get TWO cultural ramblies for the price of one!!
This one is a bit different from the other ones. I usually talk about legends or holiday traditions but this is actually just history! Still, I felt inclined to share partly because this is a major thing in portuguese culture and partly because this is the most overdramatic historical anecdote I have ever seen and more people need to know about it. Now, let's get into it!
The Tragedy of Pedro and Inês
(portraits of Pedro and Inês, made centuries after their deaths)
In 1340, Prince Pedro of Portugal, son of King Afonso the 4th, married Constança Manuel of Aragon. When she moved to Portugal, Constança brought along her lady-in-waiting, Inês de Castro. You can already see where this is going.
Pedro and Inês fell madly in love and began a secret relationship (which seems to not have been that secret at all). In 1344, Afonso the 4th exiled Inês to the castle of Albuquerque, near the border, out of fear that this affair would sour diplomatic relationships with Castille.
It just so happens that Constança died in childbirth one year later. Despite his father's requests, Pedro refused to remarry, claiming that he was still too overcome with grief over his wife's death. Instead, he had Inês's exile annulled and began living with her. During this period in which they lived together, they had 4 children.
In 1355, five years later, King Afonso the 4th ordered the assassination of Inês de Castro. She was killed in Coimbra, in Quinta das Lágrimas, where legend says you can still hear her crying at the fountain where she lost her life, later named Fonte das Lágrimas ("Fountain of Tears"). This moment, along with another one further ahead, is the one all the poets go crazy for.
Inês's death triggered a revolt against the king, led by Pedro. However, there was never an actual physical confrontation, since the queen-mother was able to stop it in time.
In 1357, Pedro rose to the throne, becoming King Pedro the 1st. He claimed that he had married Inês in secret around 1354, legitimizing their children and making her possibly the only posthumous queen in history (someone fact-check me on this). For avenging her death, he was dubbed "Pedro, the Just".
He had matching tombs made for him and Inês so she could be buried as queen by his side. They still stand today in the Monastery of Alcobaça, where you can visit them. They were placed on opposite ends of the transept, facing each other, so that they could be face to face when they rose from their graves. The inscription on Pedro's tomb is thought to read "Until the ends of the world". I'll show pics later, don't worry.
You thought I was done? I haven't even gotten to the overdramatic part! (Ok, the tomb thing was pretty dramatic, but this part is extra as hell)
As King Pedro the 1st, he had Inês's two assassins executed. According to a somewhat contemporary chronicle by Fernão Lopes (still Middle Ages but a century later), he had their hearts ripped out, one through the chest and another through the back. Sources seem to disagree on whether this actually happened or not, but Fernão Lopes was a pretty reliable guy in other parts of his chronicle. And, this being strictly myth, it is said that he made those two assassins kiss the hand of Inês's corpse as they would the queen's. For this, he was dubbed "Pedro, the Cruel", on top of his other title. Perfectly balanced and whatnot.
Here's a painting by Pierre-Charles Comte about it:
The Tombs
I saw them in early November of last year and I cannot overstate how amazing they are in real life. The whole church they're in is beautiful but the tombs are just breathtaking, especially knowing the story behind them.
They're the reason I wanted to make this post. They are considered some of the greatest masterpieces of portuguese gothic sculpture. They are full of intricate carvings and, despite missing a few pieces here and there, are still in amazingly good condition today. You can visit them for free any time.
Here are the pictures I promised. The last 2 are taken by me!
Some historical notes (cool facts)
This is mostly about the corpse coronation part because I found it in my research and thought it was cool.
The first dynasty of portuguese kings didn't have coronations. They were seen as warrior kings first and foremost, and therefore felt no need to pledge their allegiance to Christianity. If they did swear over something, it was a shield. They did not have the fancy ceremony.
What can we learn from all this, you ask?
Write that overdramatic romance you've been wanting to. You'll never out-drama queen King Pedro the 1st.
#as a kid i always felt really bad for Constança#she literally got pushed aside in the history she was a part of#no one cares about her???#all she is is “a woman who got cheated on”?? she deserves better!!!#anyways Pedro is the greatest drama queen to ever live#imagine being so extra about your girlfriend's death your tombs become some of the most famous sculptures in Portugal#and also the heart thing#the Middle Ages really were a time huh#portugal ramblies#portuguese history#portuguese legend#pedro e inês#happy valentine's day#<3 <3 <3#i'm not translating the names. fuck that.#i refuse to look up what the english equivalent of “Inês” is
