On a summer evening in Rivendell, Elrond's little family are busy designing a sensory-play room for the twins. (If Elrond ends up hiding in there too after stressful councils, no one's going to say anything.)

For Day 5 of @elrondweek (a little late because of absent-mindedness...) Please click on it to see all the details!!

A lot of research went into this painting (and a lot of thought about how you'd crease a multisensory environment in a fantasy world with no electricity for pretty lights and bubble lamps) so here are some notes and headcanons:

Lighting: A number of elves who studied under Feanor later lived in Middle-earth (especially Eregion) and continued making crystal lamps and light-altering gemstones. The crystals in the small jar are a kind which glows for several hours after being “charged” with sunlight. They are used for decoration and in situations where a flame would be impractical or dangerous, e.g. a child-safe nightlight. 

Light projection jars: Glass jars decorated with colours and patterns. When a light crystal is placed in the jar, the colours are projected across the floor or wall. (Elladan and Elrohir are still a little young to be trusted with heavy glass jars, so for now these will be kept in a locked chest and used with adult supervision). 

Fabrics: Samples of cloth with lots of interesting colours and textures for the kids to choose from. Some (like the star cloth Elrohir is admiring) will be draped from the walls or ceiling of the sensory room to create a dark, cosy environment, and others made into blankets, cushions, etc. 

Star cloth: Cloth embroidered with tiny, faintly-glowing gems, resembling the night sky. First created in Valinor by a member of the textiles guild, it was popular among older elves who wanted to remember the skies of Middle-earth. It was expensive and difficult to make, and fell out of fashion when the Noldor left Valinor. The craft was revived in second-age Eregion, and easier methods of making it were developed. 

Toys: Elladan is playing with a painted wooden rain-shaker. Other sensory toys pictured include a colourful spinning top and a set of tactile wooden balls. They’re gathering a collection to keep in the boys’ toy-chest. Elrohir prefers the tactile objects, while Elladan likes any toy that makes a noise.

Room decor: Inspired by Art Nouveau aesthetics. The rug is based on an antique Donegal carpet, and the wallpaper on Arts and Crafts designs. 

Clothing: Inspired by paintings and antique garments: the twins and Celebrian are (loosely) based on paintings by John Singer Sargent and Henry Arnould Olivier, while Elrond’s robes are based on a 1905 House of Worth tea gown.

There are a number of flowers and plants in this painting; their meanings in flower language are as such: 

Bonsai pear tree: comfort

Irises (in the stained-glass window): wisdom

A vase of white lilacs: joy of youth, youthful innocence

Traveller’s joy (in the patterned wallpaper): safety

Primroses (Elladan’s hairpin and the embroidery on the twins’ dresses): early youth

Daisies (Elrohir’s shoes): innocence

Forget-me-nots (Celebrian’s dress): true love

Lily-of-the-valley (Elrond’s hairpin): sweetness, return of happiness

"If they had been hungry, she would’ve fed them. If they had needed money, she would’ve given them her last dime. Because that’s the kind of person Sharon was. But they didn’t come for that." — Doris Tate.

Remembering Sharon Tate, who was killed 54 years ago today.

I feel like 13 would just get lost on adventures or somehow lose the others and would get distracted so easily (Yaz would definitely get her a tracker at some point)

My 59 year old mother, Dana, is currently homeless and has no car or job. She and I lived with her grandmother for a decade and suffered through emotional and financial abuse until she died of old age. Whatever sense of stability she had is now lost, and she is living in a homeless shelter. Sometimes she stays with her aunt for a few days, but that aunt actively dislikes her.

My mom has bipolar, depression and has previously attempted to take her own life. She has to wait an entire YEAR to even TRY to get an apartment since the one her aunt lives in is doing renovations.

Below are paypal and ko-fi links that I own, but everything will be donated to her bank account. I hope to give her $8000 so that she can buy a car.

$106/$8000

If my CC or presence on Tumblr has sparked joy for you, please donate if you have the money or share.

For Sims 2 players: If you show proof of donating at least $1, I will recolour any hairstyle in any hair system you desire for each dollar you donated. There will be no paywalls. This is just a little incentive, and is optional.

so art is dead as we know (imagine drawing) BUT between buying a new phone (after 8 years) and a new printer, my camera is no longer stuck in the mud dimension and ive finally fulfilled my almost 2 month quest (awful) to print out art on my wall!

most of these are people's attacks on me from Art Fight. with a lot of other miscellaneous stuff sprinkled in. Theyre called attacks because they fall on top of me at night

And of course:
