Redwall art envisioned as an 80's animated film look. (Milt Kahl / Don Bluth) --- I know nothing abt Redwall. I havent read the books and know very VERY little of its lore. Years ago I remember seeing a tv series but never finished it.

Almost looks like I know what I'm doing

I crocheted a portrait of Martin the Warrior!

A part of the Redwall tapestry based on its depiction in the Nelvana show! It's based on my own pattern of that image. If anyone remembers the necklace I cross-stitched, it's an adaptation of that same home-made pattern.

Do you think anyone would be interested in purchasing one of these tapestries?

Inktober 2022 Day 4 Redwall Prompt: Climbing

“Mr. Squirrel cupped his paws and called up, “Are you all right there, Jess?”

Latching her tail around a projecting gargoyle, Jess shouted back, “Well, I’m making headway, m’dear. This stone though–it’s a bit rough on the old paws and claws. Not like good old wood or tree bark.” 

-Redwall by Brian Jacques

SO! here it is! The roof comes off with the rafters attached; the floor for the 'ground' level is also removable--remember that this is designed to sit in about 3 inches of litter. The windows are inset so that after this is fired, I can cut and glue in little panes of stained glass.

rereading redwall

[melly1]

It took me two rereads of Redwall after reading Martin the Warrior for it to hit me that Matthias took up Martin's sword in the Summer of the LATE ROSE

[melly1]

Look here’s the thing,

I started dressing historically because it makes me feel good and I started listening to sea shanties because of Dani Banner’s instagram story and I got into fashion history in general because of Bernadette Banner but actually,

Actually I grew up reading every single Redwall book more times than I can count and actually probably my love of sea shanties comes from that and I probably like the historical vibes because of Redwal and my room is decorated as close to a fantasy cottage in the woods as I can get it because of Redwall and I love the renaissance fair probably because of redwall and wouldn’t you know it, I love cooking and all my cookbooks are medical fantasy cookbooks and WHY DO THINK THAT IS??

I bought a bunch of knives at the ren faire, all to stop myself buying a custom made sword of Martin because that would be really really bad for my wallet

And when I think about it, everything I believe about people, how it’s important to stand up for those who can’t stand up for themselves, those people being just as valuable as the people who defend them, I learned that as a child, from Redwall.

Anyway I’m starting to think Redwall may have affected me

Brome, in the prison pit: You know, it's times like these I wish I'd listened to what my father told me. Felldoh: Why, what did he tell you? Brome: I don't know, I didn't listen.

Dippler: Dann’s not here yet. Burble: Song, give me your phone. Song: Uh, okay? Dippler: What are you doing? Burble: Texting Dann. And send. [Dann comes running into the room. ] Dann: Song! I got your text! Did you mean it?! For real?! Song: What’d your text say? Burble: I love you.

Sometimes. Flib: Rocks? Usualy nah. Buckler: Twigs? Rarely! Ambry: How did you... test this? Flib: We just hand him stuff and say "eat this" and if he eats it, he eats it.

Martin: I can’t believe you lied to me! You know that the two pillars of a great relationship are openness and honesty. Gonff: I knew helping you overcome years of mental trauma and become a better person would come back and bite me.

Cornflower: Remember how I said that Warbeak and I were going to have a calm night out for once? Matthias: Yes? Cornflower: Well, we're in jail. Matthias: *Hangs up the phone*
