"Why, Jancy True, as I live and breathe!!!"

Now with fanfic!

[Video has no audio. Full image descriptions under the cut.]

I wanted to make a background that looked like it could appear on a Drawtectives episode, and then I got carried awaaaaaaay. Which was very Julia of me, I gotta say. She is on some absolute next level shit, and I loved Season 2!

Image description:

A digital illustration in great detail and brightly saturated colors, depicting characters from the YouTube series Detectives in a beautiful cafe. In the foreground, Jancy True stands holding a disposable coffee cup, and looking up at Joebeans, surprised, nervous, and blushing.

Jancy is an older thin white woman with silver hair in an undercut, a black cochlear implant in the ear that is facing the viewer, angular features, and a fashionable sharp purple and gold coat with a red gem pin next to her private eye gold and purple pin.

Joebeans stands across from her, several feet taller, with her arms spread wide and a big smile on her face as though she is declaring something. In one of hands, she is holding a disposable coffee cup in the form of a bucket.

Joebeans is a middle-aged orc woman with bright green skin and large golden curly hair. She has blue eyes, magenta lipstick, white teeth with large bottom fangs, silver hoop earrings, a strong jaw, and large breasts. She is wearing blue jeans and a light-blue denim top. Her top's buttons are straining a little over her breasts. She is wearing large silver hoop earrings, and a brown belt with a large golden belt buckle that says "JB" on it.

In the background, Rosé, York, Grendan, and Eugene are hiding behind the café counter and peaking eagerly over it at Jancy and Joe. York is clutching Eugene's face to his head affectionately, smushing Eugene's cheeks.

The four characters in the background are partially obstructed by the counter, but Grendan is visible as a pair of brown eyes with brown hair and a garden hat with a daisy on it. Rosé is behind him, with her hands pressing down on Grendan and York's heads. She has brown skin and pink hair in buns and bangs. Her eyes are wide and shining; the irises are pink. York is an orc with a blonde undercut and pointed ears with gold piercings. He has green eyes and is looking affectionately up at Eugene. Eugene is a handsome young white man with a nose piercing  and short wavy black hair. He has brown eyes, and he is wearing an indigo and lavender shirt with sharp shoulders.

The characters are in a sunny open-air cafe with an open criss-crossing wood beam ceiling that has plant life poking through, as well as flower pots hanging from the ceiling. The sky is blue. The back wall of the cafe is a curved glass window that shows a variety of green plant life, flowers, and trees. The counter is violet with an alcove for colorful bottles, an embossed baroque pattern on the front. There are brass caffeine machines on the back of the counter. There is a large ceiling-height door open-wall door that shows a vague city street in the background. The floors are cherry-wood boards, and there is a matching tapestry and rug set featuring symmetrical geometric designs in pink, yellow, and green.

All other images are various close-ups of the first image to show detail, as well as an alternate version that shows only the cafe setting with no characters, and the video is done in the style of Drawtectives, in which the empty setting is shown first, and then the characters fade in - first Joe, then Jancy, and then the other characters behind the desk.

the library | tag directory

Gathered within the library of Bangtan Sorciere are the tomes and scrolls of knowledge past down the centuries; of knowledge long forgotten. Arced ceilings loom above you, their flaxen marble surfaces embossed with baroque carvings, and tall bookcases tower around you, their burnet exteriors banded with streaked patterns. Various grimoires – bounded in supple leather and with spines engraved in gold-foiled, cursive titles – fill the shelves; their pages containing the wisdom imparted by various scholars throughout history: from the current most notable professors of magic, to the sage teachings passed down from the founders themselves. The camphor fragrance of ink and parchment flitters through the air, interweaving with the sweet musk of the ancient tomes; and a tranquil stillness enshrouds the atmosphere, broken only by the murmured whispers of the students ambling about, and the susurrus scratching of quill tips against paper.

Passing through the large oak doors, you find yourself on a raised platform. On either side, staircases leading downward to the main floor beckon you forward, but in the center lies a pedestal. Perched against its wide top, a large leather bound tome lies open. Making your approach, you can smell the parchment, its rough pages appearing tea stained. The leather is softened from centuries of use, though it remains fully intact, somehow separate from time itself. Gently, you turn its pages, reading name after name, each an alumni of Bangtan Sorciere. As you reach the back, the final page is only half full but names continue to appear. They erupt from within, crisp black ink drying down instantly, unable to be smeared by your touch. More continue to appear, and then - you spot your own.

✪ Visit the Alumni Archive

Deep in the back of the library, where the light does not seem to reach, an area has been blocked off by iron gates. The stained glass windows eat the sunlight, their colored glass illuminated and sharing the sun with nothing else. Twilight befalls this area, and you must squint to read the sign that hangs overhead. Permission must be granted to access this section, sprawling and deep as it is, but you cannot find a soul who should let you in, no professor and no upper year to grant assistance. Resting your hand on the iron, you try the gate, feeling heat spread within your palm. It burns beneath your touch, but it does not cause pain. Instead, the heat spreads through your blood, up and up until it reaches your cheeks. Chest suddenly tight, your breath falls hard and heavy between your parted lips, and your hand fists over the iron, keeping you steady. And then, the gate opens, granting approval. It is only then you understand - the permission could only come from you.

Fashion Recommendations - Tackling The Wedding Season

I’ve been meaning to start a series of blog posts, hopefully every month, recommending and translating some of the current trends but in a more realistic way. Here’s the thing, I do not like the whole idea of trends. Not only do they promote fast fashion, but even financially, the idea of giving one’s hard-earned money to some giant corporate machine who will eventually tell you 6 months later that what you’re wearing is “not in” anymore doesn’t make any sense to me.

Still, I understand wanting to stay up to date with the constantly evolving fashion scene and that is why, I thought of starting these series of recommendation posts that will help you navigate the online ordering world. After spending numerous hours (not exaggerating), going through a couple of websites, I shortlisted these 40 items that I feel would be perfect for wedding season. From ceremonies like Mehendi, the Wedding and Reception to everything else in between, I have tried to add something for every event while also keeping variety of personal styles in mind.

All the products that I have chosen fall in the price range of high street brands but again, do keep in mind that the list has been made keeping longevity in mind. I would hate for you to buy something and feel like it’s useless couple of months later because it’s not trendy anymore.

Do note that these are all Indian websites (because that is where I’m from). So, if you’re from some other country and are interested in me picking out some pieces, just email or message me here and I’ll try to find a good website in your country.

Styling Tip

Just because something is expensive does not make it a quality product. So, if you associate spending more money with excellence, believe me, you’d greatly benefit by letting go of that thinking.

Half of the trick lies in styling and to look good, you’d have to let your creative juices flow. Styling can be fun and easy, once you find your way around trends. In fact, then you’ll look forward to repeating your outfits because that will give you an opportunity to mix and match them with different accessories. Not to mention, it would be cost-efficient. So, this is kind of an eternal tip while shopping - buy something that you know for sure that you’ll re-wearing it a couple of times at least (you’d be surprised how many people don’t shop like that).

Anyways, I think you have probably stopped reading this by now. So, let’s just jump into it. Happy shopping!

HISTORY OF WALLPAPER DESIGN

A Journey Through Time: The Fascinating History of Wallpaper Design Introduction: Wallpaper design has a rich and captivating history that spans centuries. From its humble beginnings as a practical wall covering to its evolution into an art form, wallpaper has left an indelible mark on interior design. This article takes you on a journey through time, exploring the origins, key milestones, and influential design movements that have shaped the fascinating history of wallpaper design. - Early Beginnings: The roots of wallpaper design can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The earliest evidence of decorative wall coverings dates back to ancient China, where rice paper was used to adorn walls as early as 200 BC. In ancient Egypt, papyrus scrolls painted with vibrant scenes were hung on walls. These early iterations of wallpaper reflected cultural aesthetics and served as a form of artistic expression. - Renaissance and the Rise of Decorative Wallpaper: The Renaissance period marked a significant turning point for wallpaper design. During this era, the use of wallpaper transitioned from a purely functional purpose to a decorative element. European craftsmen began creating hand-painted wallpapers, often depicting intricate scenes inspired by nature, mythology, and historical events. These luxurious wallpapers were reserved for the aristocracy and nobility. - 18th and 19th Centuries: Wallpaper's Golden Age: The 18th and 19th centuries witnessed the height of wallpaper's popularity. Innovative printing techniques, such as woodblock printing and later, machine printing, made wallpapers more accessible to a wider audience. This period saw the emergence of various influential wallpaper design movements: a. Baroque and Rococo: The ornate and extravagant styles of Baroque and Rococo influenced wallpaper design with their elaborate patterns, curvilinear motifs, and gilded details. b. Arts and Crafts Movement: In response to the Industrial Revolution, the Arts and Crafts movement sought to revive traditional craftsmanship. Wallpaper designs during this period showcased natural elements, simplicity, and handcrafted techniques. c. Art Nouveau: Characterized by flowing lines, organic forms, and stylized floral motifs, Art Nouveau brought a new sense of elegance and harmony to wallpaper design. d. Art Deco: The Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 1930s embraced geometric patterns, bold colors, and streamlined designs. Wallpaper became a symbol of modernity and sophistication. - Mid-20th Century: Modernism and Wallpaper: The mid-20th century saw a shift in wallpaper design, influenced by the modernist movement. Wallpaper designs became more minimalistic, featuring abstract patterns, geometric shapes, and clean lines. The focus shifted towards simplicity, functionality, and the integration of new materials like vinyl. - Contemporary Wallpaper Design: In recent years, wallpaper design has undergone a renaissance, with a renewed interest in its versatility and artistic potential. Contemporary designers and artists have pushed the boundaries of traditional wallpaper design, incorporating digital printing techniques, innovative materials, and unconventional patterns. Wallpaper is now seen as a dynamic and versatile medium for self-expression in interior design. The history of wallpaper design is a testament to human creativity and the ever-evolving nature of interior design. From its early origins in ancient civilizations to its flourishing during the Renaissance and subsequent influential design movements, wallpaper has transformed walls into canvases of artistic expression. The current era showcases a diverse range of styles, materials, and techniques that reflect the spirit of our times. As wallpaper design continues to evolve, it remains a powerful tool for enhancing and personalizing interior spaces, bridging the gap between functionality and artistry. Read the full article

Floating Down from Above | New Christmas Decorations

Planning the autumn, winter and Christmas collections this year has been an interesting challenge. Many makers we work with and support have struggled to access studios and equipment and as a result have had to postpone collections (but will be ready to launch in the spring) and many producers needed shut down their mills just as out samples were being made.

Others such as the craftsmen in Mexico, who have made Tin Decorations, have needed the commitment to working with them more than ever. Here at The Shop Floor Project, it has see-sawed between being ghostly quiet and busier than ever.

The Shop Floor Project would like to wish you all the very best over these next coming months – escapism and inspiration are needed more than ever we think.

Here, The Shop Floor Project will talk you through the newest Christmas Decorations for 2020!

The Tinsmiths For Your Tree

Floating down from above are our latest collection of decorations. Designed in-house and created by skilled craftsmen in Mexico, they are inspired by characters seen on frescoes in early English country churches and antique folk art toys. Tin work, known in Mexico as hojalata, goes back to the 16th Century. Known as ‘poor man’s silver’, it is perfect for decorations; light to hang and catches the light beautifully with all the embossed detailing.

Swedish Stars

Hand beaten by Swedish maker Malin Appelgren, these brass and pewter stars are beautiful for the festive season and beyond!

Deck the Halls, Walls – and anywhere else you can think of!

The Paper Chain Garland Kits come in ten different patterns and colours. They can also be mixed up together for different combinations and, as each one is ‘lined’ in a pattern, can be turned inside out too – the options are endless!

Each pack contains enough to make 10 metres, £14.50 a pack.

Writing Home

What could be more fun than stitching and stuffing these Fabric House Kits, featuring the collages of famous writers’ houses by renowned folk artist Amanda White?

Easy to hang on a tree, they look equally good sitting along a shelf. Again, we encourage some personal embellishments, perhaps an appliqued wreath on a door or some embroidered flowers climbing up the wall? £18 per house kit.

Fabric Folk

These charming Fabric Folk Kits feature collages of famous female figures by Amanda White. Each kit comes with everything needed to make them: fabric, organic wool stuffing, a needle, pins and thread pack specifically made by Merchant and Mills for us.

Glass Grapes

Channel your inner Baroque and create a display worthy of any 17th Century still life painter with our hand-blown sweet and fruit decorations.

Wrapped in gold waxed paper and nestled in a gift box, the hand-blown glass sweet decorations are made in a traditional workshop in Egypt.

Pop Out Crowns

These pop out cardboard corwns, with patterns painted by Raphael Balme are an alternative to traditional sugar paper hats found in Christmas crackers.

Alongside the Christmas Decorations, the Crafted Christmas Collection can be viewed here; and the Autumn/Winter 2020 collection can be viewed here.

The Shop Floor Project is an award-winning online shop, founded in 2006 by Denise Allan and Samantha Allan (mother and daughter) with the aim to design, develop and source collections of the highest craftsmanship from makers and traditional manufactures around the world – with an emphasis on British makers. They see the Project as a series of curated spaces filled with objects that fulfill their main criteria; that the object is worthy of keeping and passing down through generations – be it a handwoven Herdwick blanket or a hand beaten wall sconce from Sweden. The Shop Floor Project has been described as ‘one of the most beautiful websites around’ and was shortlisted for Homes & Gardens Retailer of the Year 2015 award. Our products have been featured in the New York Times, The World of Interiors, Vogue, House & Garden, Elle Decoration, The Guardian, The Times and more.

AHIS Week 4: Baroque Still Life, Still Going

My favorite piece of artwork from the Baroque module would definitely be Willem Kalf’s Still Life with a Silver Ewer (1660), which I also ended up recreating with props from around the house as a separate assignment. This painting stood out to me because of how it elevated something simplistic into something beautiful and preserved. There’s a sort of naturalism to the piece, making it feel less like a painting and more like a snapshot of something in motion, even though the objects in the painting were carefully arranged and lit to give the optimal result. Even though the elements aren’t naturally arranged, they feel as if they were, everything from the half-peeled fruit to the bowl balanced against the alcove with the clumps of fruit inside it. 

Willem Kalf, Still Life with a Silver Ewer (1660). I was also drawn to the incredible detail put into the colors and textures in the piece. The metal shines, looks fluid, embossed, while with the painted bowl I really get the impression that a pattern of dried paint was inscribed upon it, even though the bowl is only a piece of a larger painting. The still life is depicted with such skill that it tricks my brain into assuming that the textures are real, and I personally think that’s incredible. Every single element of the still life does this; from the fruit to the plants to the metal, and even the stone of the alcove, and that’s before you even get to the incredible level of ornate detail! I think that this piece is a technical marvel, and it left me thoroughly impressed. In my opinion, Kalf was able to achieve some truly lifelike qualities in his piece.

Masquerade: Side Story - Stay Close To Me

Notes: a side story inspired by an idea that @kantonliu sent me, and I couldn’t resist throwing everything aside to write probably the soppiest??? thing I’ve ever written. Have this as my thanks for everyones amazing support. <3 p.s probably some typos.  Find the rest of Masquerade here

Sometimes, they picked the worst places to meet.

Now was one of those times.

It wasn’t that this huge open spaced establishment sprawling with chairs and tables set for two was subpar. It wasn’t the ambient night sky of hundreds and hundreds of tiny glowing bulbs suspended at different lengths from the high ceiling like perfect stars in their own universe.

It wasn’t the amazing service and other patrons that kept to themselves in groups of only two, always two. It wasn’t the velvet lined booths at the edges of the room that looked safe enough to keep secrets and smother whispers, it wasn’t the fact that there were no Russians or Japanese in sight.

It was the fact that Yuuri was here alone, waiting with his solitary drink at the bar as usual.

He’d convinced himself over and over again that this didn’t bother him, that the small stage with an intimate dance floor bathed in welcoming darkness wasn’t something he needed with Victor, it wasn’t the couples in the middle sharing a slow dance as the live band changed their pace into a hopelessly intimate tune, the dancers oblivious to the world except for the person in their arms.

Yuuri didn’t need it, but he wanted it all the same, it pulled at the edges of the hole in his chest that was only full when Victor was near, in his arms. He’d always thought his heart was sensible enough to get over it, that logic would win because he knew that his bond with Victor was stronger than all the bonds in this room combined.

As the years had passed though, the more places like this they’d chanced on, the more Yuuri ached inside because he knew Victor could give him anything except this, that Victor wanted to give him everything including this. But this one simple thing was beyond their means, and it chafed at his skin like the so heavy suit on his shoulders, the tight holsters under his jacket, the switchblade in his pocket.

Yuuri would endure it like he always did, like he always would, because he couldn’t let this childish feeling get in the way of his time with Victor.

So he sat at the bar a while longer as one drink turned to two, two to three, until the lights dimmed further, until alcohol sunk its claws of inebriation into the couples about him and public displays of affection ensued. He stayed until the barkeep gave him that pathetic look, the look that said his date wasn’t coming, he stayed until he got that look from more than just the barkeep. Yuuri would have liked nothing more than to wipe that look of the faces of everyone who’d looked in his direction, because none of them knew Victor like he did, and no one but Yuuri ever would.

But how cruel would it be for Victor to pick this fucking place and not show up? Yuuri laughed to himself before he threw back his bourbon and savoured the fire down his throat, felt the heat numb all that ached inside. Victor was full of surprises, but that didn’t mean that they were all good ones.

It happened, rare were the times now when business got in the way, but it happened, and Yuuri decided today was one of those days.

He flagged the barkeep to pay his bill, maybe it was better they didn’t meet in a place like this anyway.

More people looked at him on his way out, eyes of men and women alike drawn to Yuuri and his styled back hair and glasses, his perfectly fitted suit and polished shoes, his long legs and natural grace and chin held high that made people second guess whether he was the one doing the standing up or not.

Yuuri was only two steps out the door when his phone buzzed with vibration in his pocket, short and abrupt as the single message came through.

The number wasn’t saved under anything in his phone, but Yuuri knew Victor’s personal contact details off by heart.

”11:36pm - French causing trouble, put them all to sleep for making me late. Meet you at room instead. xxx Vitya”

“Pfft.” Yuuri couldn’t help but chuckle to himself as he changed directions for the hotel they’d decided on after all, he could see Victor now, hiding a childish pout as he killed people for making him late for a date of all things. Victor’s reputation was getting fierce lately, and it was incidents like this that had everything to do with it.

Yuuri would have done the same, he had before, and it turned out that Victor quite liked it when Yuuri turned up to their room with blood on his hands.

The respite in heartache was only temporary however, and with each step it throbbed in his chest to the rhythm of his footsteps, this walk was always one of the hardest parts, because it gave him too much time to himself, too much time to think about decisions he could have made, and decisions he would still have to make if he went back to that room to be with Victor for one measly night.

In hindsight, Paris was probably one of the worst places they could meet, Yuuri didn’t have business here, he’d come on Victor’s plea to this city of lovers, and everywhere he looked only served to chisel at his hard won reasoning that this all was superfluous to his needs.

Maybe that’s what Victor wanted, maybe he wanted Yuuri to see the couples who could walk hand in hand, the first dates at coffee shops with innocent intentions, the old flames who were still as in love as the day they met. Yuuri could only add that to his pile of too many things he was thinking about on the short walk to the extremely luxurious hotel that looked over the Louvre from the other side of the Seine river.

French Baroque architecture through and through, the hotel entrance welcomed him with big stone colonnades and a plush red carpet runner that led him straight into the foyer of a 17th century interior, Yuuri couldn’t help but stop and take a breath as he took it all in, because this was the most excessive Victor had been yet. Domed ceilings with gilded scrollwork and crisp white paint, crystal chandeliers and stone pillars, everywhere he looked there were more details to take in.

Each step inside this building only took him further and further away from the real world, further away from reality, because of course Victor would have planned for this too. And of course no one asked questions as he walked across to the elevator that fit with the era, panelled walls and flowering cornices, thick carpet and a small ceiling with embossed panels of white and bronze.

To the top floor the elevator he went, where another red carpet runner led him to one of only two rooms on the whole floor, the single door with gold numbers and brass handle opened without a sound on its hinges.

Yuuri kicked off his shoes in the entrance way and followed the short walk into the open space of the suite, and was forced to stop short as he took it all in.

It was only the lounge area, and yet it was the size of some small houses in japan, with more extravagance and more over the top decoration, Yuuri didn’t know where to look. The claw footed chaise lounge setting, the high ceilings with more intricate paintwork, the white panelled walls, the patterned carpet and marble busts of people Yuuri didn’t know set against the walls on pedestals of their own.

That wasn’t it though, it would never be it. That bar was only a poor mockery of the real thing right in front of him. All the velvet curtains were still pulled open with their gold tasseled restraints, the set of french doors opened out to the moonlit balcony. Yuuri only realised now, that they’d never left curtains open before this.

But here on the top floor they could, bathed in midnight was the glittering view of the city with the glowing Eiffel tower in the distance, the twinkling lights of cars like lifeblood as they moved along the veins of highways and streets in a million directions at once. And it was all mirrored in the sky as real stars outshone the artificial ones below, diamonds scattered across an oblivion coloured blanket that wrapped itself around the world and said that this darkness wouldn’t ever betray their secret.

And in front of it all was Victor in his perfect black suit and tie, standing before those open french doors, lost in thought as he bent his arms and took his cufflinks off one by one, more breath taking by far than the view behind him.

Yuuri couldn’t breathe, that dull ache in his chest seemed to reach out to Victor in a plea of its own, because he could see Victor breathing fast still, moonlight hair disheveled like he’d raced the wind to be on time, his cheeks flushed, and Victor Nikiforov had rushed to get here, like there was an ache in his chest that was just as desperate to be salved only if for a night.

“Victor.” Yuuri sighed, and he felt that throb relent as Yuuri let all his secrets go, as he let his mask fall away and stood in the doorway as Victor finally noticed he was there.

Victor saw it all instantly, like he always did, the in too deep heartache, he saw all the things Yuuri had been overthinking on his way here, the burdens Yuuri carried to keep this thing, the only thing he wanted.

And the first thing Victor said broke him inside every time, because his voice cracked, his eyes reflected all the things Yuuri himself had been thinking, that desperation and the quiet struggle to keep it all together.

“I’m sorry for making you wait, Yuuri.”

Yuuri hated it when he said that, because Victor always sounded so pained, because they would always be waiting, no matter what they did. Waiting for the next night, waiting to get caught, waiting to die, and Yuuri knew as long as he could have the Victor in front of him that he would gladly spend his whole life waiting.

As Yuuri closed the gap he could see the fleck of blood on Victor’s collar, could smell the lingering scent of violence on his skin, the scent of someone else’s fear, the overpowering notes of Victor’s control, and Yuuri was reminded all over again exactly why Victor was worth waiting for.

Because Victor stood there, waiting for Yuuri too, with his shoulders that could carry the world and his eyes that could drown it, and all Yuuri had to do was ask.

Stepping into Victor’s arms was always like falling all over again, the rush as the whole in his chest was filled, it soothed all his aches and pains, and Victor wrapped his arms around tight like only a place called home could.

“That’s better.” Victor hummed as they stood there on the spot with the moon above, still suited for the world outside with guns hidden even as all their other layers melted away.

“Mm.” Yuuri agreed, relishing the soft breeze that swept through the open doors and pulled at the curtains, and even if he knew he was in too deep, Yuuri wouldn’t mind being the one to drown further, here and now.

“Do you know what this weekend is, Yuuri?” Victor cooed with a smile as he took Yuuri’s hand and placed it around his own neck, as he placed his own around Yuuri’s waist and pressed his forehead against Yuuri’s to search for an answer that Yuuri didn’t know.

“Uhm, am I meant to?” was all Yuuri could stammer as Victor slowly stepped them from side to side in a rolling rhythm, his eyes shut now with an expression that Yuuri could only call content, happy.

And Yuuri realised they were dancing, dancing with nothing but Victor’s humming as a tune, and that music would be more than enough because they were dancing with no one but the stars watching, dancing in their own perfect universe under a real sky that would most definitely keep their secret.

His other hand found Victor’s waist then, he tightened his grip around the nape of Victor’s neck, and lay his head against that muscled chest to listen to the deep vibrations of Victor’s music.

There was warm breath in his hair as Victor kissed the top of his head and stayed there, mumbling against Yuuri’s head as he answered his own question.

“This weekend is 5 years since we met, Yuuri,” and he clutched Yuuri tighter at that, kissed his head again as they stepped in lazy circles on the spot. “An anniversary, of sorts.”

It was Yuuri’s turn to hold on tighter now, to press himself more against Victor’s chest as his heart did the most unreasonable thing and let butterflies go in his ribcage, what a hopeless pair of criminals they both were.

“It’s perfect like this.” Yuuri said, quiet as he smiled to himself, only realising now that whether they were in public or not wouldn’t make a difference, because Yuuri wouldn’t fucking notice if they were anyway, all his attention was on Victor, as it always would be. “It’s perfect like this.” Yuuri sighed again, knowing it was true.

He felt Victor’s mouth curve against his head in a smile, felt him step a little lighter as he set them into a slow waltz with impeccable footwork and a perfect lead that Yuuri would follow anywhere. And so Victor kept humming a tune deep in his chest, warm and heartfelt as they danced still in their designer suits and ties.

“We’re like an old married couple.” Yuuri commented as he thought of the like that he’d seen on his way here, dancing without care in an outdoor restaurant as a song came on the radio. It was a good thought, well Yuuri thought it was, but Victor straightened with gasp and looked down at him, struck with horror.

“Yuuuuri, are you calling me old!?” and his pout would always be ridiculous, his eyes dead serious even though his lips looked petulant and stubborn like only a child’s could.

“Pfft.” And Yuuri was laughing at him for the second time that night, pulling Victor back to him even as Victor continued to grumble, “Shut up and dance with me, Victor.” Yuuri hummed his own tune as Victor chuckled, as he relaxed again and took Yuuri in his arms.

The slow steps in front of the open doors started all over again, and Victor whispered to him,

“As you wish.”

Japanese in Origin, European in Design

Leather hangings were a popular way to decorate walls in Europe in the 18th-century. They were often called Spanish leathers because they originated in Spain in the 17th century, but these early hangings were simply painted. As the popularity of leather hangings increased in the Netherlands and England, it became more popular to emboss the leather and cover it with silver gilt and yellow varnish to imitate gold. Late in the 18th century, Japanese leather hangings were also imitated, as part of the taste for East Asian-inspired design.

In the late-nineteenth century, imitation leather hangings, produced through a wide variety of means and materials, were incredibly popular in Britain. The popularity of these papers was due both to the three-dimensional effect of the paper and because of the general revival of 18th-century taste at the time. In Britain itself, molded papers such as Lincrusta and Anaglypta and embossed papers were produced via mass manufacture to satisfy demand. However, beginning in the 1870s, the English manufacture Rottmann, Strome, and Co. began to import, with resounding success, imitation leather papers from Japan. These papers were embossed and lacquered, with tinfoil used to create the effect of gilding. In the 1880s, the firm opened a factory in Yokohama for the sole purpose of producing these papers for export. By the end of the century, imported Japanese papers dominated the European market for imitation leather hangings. Despite their origin, most of these papers had names meant to evoke Spain, referring to the origins of European leather hangings. They also largely used European, especially Baroque and Rococo Revival, motifs, as in this paper, which copies William Morris’ Sunflower pattern introduced in 1879. In the end, papers such as these represent a unique way trade with Asia was used to satisfy European tastes.

HISTORY OF WALLPAPER DESIGN

A Journey Through Time: The Fascinating History of Wallpaper Design Introduction: Wallpaper design has a rich and captivating history that spans centuries. From its humble beginnings as a practical wall covering to its evolution into an art form, wallpaper has left an indelible mark on interior design. This article takes you on a journey through time, exploring the origins, key milestones, and influential design movements that have shaped the fascinating history of wallpaper design. - Early Beginnings: The roots of wallpaper design can be traced back to ancient civilizations. The earliest evidence of decorative wall coverings dates back to ancient China, where rice paper was used to adorn walls as early as 200 BC. In ancient Egypt, papyrus scrolls painted with vibrant scenes were hung on walls. These early iterations of wallpaper reflected cultural aesthetics and served as a form of artistic expression. - Renaissance and the Rise of Decorative Wallpaper: The Renaissance period marked a significant turning point for wallpaper design. During this era, the use of wallpaper transitioned from a purely functional purpose to a decorative element. European craftsmen began creating hand-painted wallpapers, often depicting intricate scenes inspired by nature, mythology, and historical events. These luxurious wallpapers were reserved for the aristocracy and nobility. - 18th and 19th Centuries: Wallpaper's Golden Age: The 18th and 19th centuries witnessed the height of wallpaper's popularity. Innovative printing techniques, such as woodblock printing and later, machine printing, made wallpapers more accessible to a wider audience. This period saw the emergence of various influential wallpaper design movements: a. Baroque and Rococo: The ornate and extravagant styles of Baroque and Rococo influenced wallpaper design with their elaborate patterns, curvilinear motifs, and gilded details. b. Arts and Crafts Movement: In response to the Industrial Revolution, the Arts and Crafts movement sought to revive traditional craftsmanship. Wallpaper designs during this period showcased natural elements, simplicity, and handcrafted techniques. c. Art Nouveau: Characterized by flowing lines, organic forms, and stylized floral motifs, Art Nouveau brought a new sense of elegance and harmony to wallpaper design. d. Art Deco: The Art Deco movement of the 1920s and 1930s embraced geometric patterns, bold colors, and streamlined designs. Wallpaper became a symbol of modernity and sophistication. - Mid-20th Century: Modernism and Wallpaper: The mid-20th century saw a shift in wallpaper design, influenced by the modernist movement. Wallpaper designs became more minimalistic, featuring abstract patterns, geometric shapes, and clean lines. The focus shifted towards simplicity, functionality, and the integration of new materials like vinyl. - Contemporary Wallpaper Design: In recent years, wallpaper design has undergone a renaissance, with a renewed interest in its versatility and artistic potential. Contemporary designers and artists have pushed the boundaries of traditional wallpaper design, incorporating digital printing techniques, innovative materials, and unconventional patterns. Wallpaper is now seen as a dynamic and versatile medium for self-expression in interior design. The history of wallpaper design is a testament to human creativity and the ever-evolving nature of interior design. From its early origins in ancient civilizations to its flourishing during the Renaissance and subsequent influential design movements, wallpaper has transformed walls into canvases of artistic expression. The current era showcases a diverse range of styles, materials, and techniques that reflect the spirit of our times. As wallpaper design continues to evolve, it remains a powerful tool for enhancing and personalizing interior spaces, bridging the gap between functionality and artistry. Read the full article

Dickies 873 Work Pant Chinos

The trouser is going through a renaissance in menswear at the moment. Wide-legs, slim fits, and array of fabrics – no one size fits all and it’s as good a time as any to experiment and revolutionise your collection. A pair of chinos from Dickies make a good entry point. While remaining affordable their distinguishing shape and pleat sets them apart from the jeans wearing brigade.

Nike Heritage Hip Pack

Hip pack, cross-body bag, fanny pack – whatever you like to call it, everyone’s wearing them so maybe you should too. This one from Nike has a bit of the 1990s about it with its simple, breast beating sloganeering, while it can be worn across the body or the on waist. It’s also a lot more understated than the ones being touted over festival season this summer.

Dune Client Lace-Up Boot

You’ve probably been giving your toes some much-needed breeze this summer (although we hope you’ve only resorted to the flip flops on holiday and not in the office) but now it’s time to give them some hard wearing protection. These boots from Dune are more than suitable, with contrasting texture panels and a chunky round toe, they’d look great with some worn-in denim.

Cheap Monday Boxer Stripe T-Shirt

A Breton stripe tee doesn’t necessarily have to be worn on a yacht in the med. Swedish clothing label Cheap Monday has added its rock and roll stylings to the shirt, and with a ribbed neck, a black stripes and its skull logo on the chest, it would look far more comfortable under a leather jacket then above some chino shorts.

BoohooMan Disney Mickey Mouse Sweater

Unfortunately for Mickey the red shorts and large yellow shoes look never caught on, but perhaps this jumper with his grumpy likeness on from BoohooMan will. In a rich shade of red and with his elegant signature down the side, we’d certainly sport this 100 per cent cotton number beyond the trip to Disneyland with the little ones.
