#greek vase art

[arleniansdoodles]

After all those asks about Calliope and Sindri, I knew it was time to finally draw them! I don’t really have a particular scene in mind for the first sketch; it could be their first meeting, or they’re talking about Atreus, etc. I used Sindri’s “this is what sorry looks like” face as a reference, but softened it since it’s Calliope here, not her brother loll

But as for the second sketch, I had this idea where Calliope becomes an apprentice to one of the Giants and learns how to make pottery as a hobby! She recreates Greek vases, and ends up making a hydria for Sindri (but she wasn’t able to get the handles working, so she left them out loll). She also commemorates their friendship on the hydria by painting herself and Sindri together! :’’’’D

This was also inspired by my Greek vase-styled painting of Atreus and Calliope! I thought it’d be really sweet to translate that somehow into the story, and Calliope seemed like the best person to take it on XDD

A traditional inspired piece I've been working on for a bit for Ares and Thanatos.

I think I'd like to do more like this since I really like the Greek pottery look, but we'll see haha.

Apollo and Dionysus at Delphi

Attic vase

Fourth century BC.

The State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg.

Apollo, with a crown of laurel, is welcomed to Delphi by Dionysus, who is bearded and carrying the thyrsus. Between them is a palm tree, a symbol of Apollo and victory, triumph, peace and eternal life. Beneath them is the Delphic omphalos or navel, center of the world. Behind them is a palm tree, and the other figures are maenads and satyrs, followers of Dionysus.

According to the legends, Apollo entrusted Delphi to his brother Dionysus during winters. Hence during the winter season, only dithyrambs were played in the temple Delphi instead of the usual paeans and the Maenads in turn sang in the honor of Apollo as well.

from the museum to your wardrobe

hello!

i’m natasha and i design and make jewellery inspired by the ancient mediterranean world at plato’s fire. i studied classics at the university of st andrews and have been making jewellery since 2016!

my aim is to combine ancient aesthetics with modern materials. my first collections have been inspired by greek vases, mediterranean goldsmiths, and minoan frescoes. each piece is cut out using laser-cutting technology, then painstakingly glued, assembled, and polished by me in my home studio in scotland!

please feel free to send me asks about my work, about the ancient mediterranean, or just scream at me in my inbox about your favourite ancient greek! ✨💛
