Victoire de Castellane, the designer of Dior Joaillerie, presents her collection of Fine Jewellery on the Belladone Island an imaginary island conducive to the growth of Belladonna, a toxic plant whose essence was used as eye drops by Italian women during the Renaissance to dilate their pupils dilated pupils being one of the signs of sexual arousal.

The plant kingdom inspired the names of the jewels in their collection, plants which were part of the imaginary ancestral herbarium and reminiscent of the magic formulas of bewitching elixirs Reina Magnifica Sangria, Poisono Misterius Spinella, Fleuro Poisonus Spinella, Paradisea Cur Secretus, Carnivora Fluora Eternita, Dracula Spinella Devorus, Grani Opalia Devorus, Carnivo Papidevorus, Ancolia Veneinosa Pop. Each one of the 17 pieces describes the world in its own fashion, recounts a story, which secretly imbibes itself with that of the person wearing it. In this collection, the imagination of Victoire de Castellane, freed from the shackles of convention, unleashes itself and proves its audacity.

The first part of the book, designed to represent the extravagant nature of this collection as accurately as possible, is generously illustrated by Guido Mocaficos photographs. The second part also shows the various phases involved in unveiling this collection, starting from the building of a lotus-like structure in the virtual sphere on Second Life, until the actual presentation in the hall Nymphéas de Monet at the musée de l'Orangerie.

I am currently rereading the Lord of the Rings for the first time in 10 years, I have a lot of thoughts that I may post once I have them in order. But for now I made the elf stone brooch the Galadriel gives Aragorn,

I have never made a bird before and I'm really happy with how it turned out

There's a ton of jokes about movie Howl wearing clip-ons aka "the fake earrings" which can be simply attached to the ear. But I assure you that book Howl actually had his ears pierced.

Somewhere in his bedroom, with a needle in a pure unsanitary, being about 16. Just in sake of looking cool. Just because he can.

Like there are real earrings.

It’s currently 1am but the 12th April’s @wolfstarmicrofic prompt was evil and hippie Remus x scientist Sirius has taken over my brain so here’s a present

Also the evil eye is part of my culture therefore it’s also part of Remus’ because I say so

Masterpost here!

“Padfoot?”

“Hm?” Sirius hummed, glancing up at James from his frantic note-taking.

“What’s that?” He pointed to Sirius’ wrist, where a small, blue, circular bracelet sat, slightly obscured by his lab coat. Sirius dropped his pen, pulling his sleeve up and showing James a bracelet made up of small blue beads, shaped like eyes, with a white blob and a small black pupil adorning each blue design.

“Oh, Remus gave it to me.” Sirius answered with a shrug, turning back to his work.

“Sirius Black wearing jewellery? At work? Never thought I’d see the day.”

“Shut up. It’s meant to protect me.” He answered. “Apparently you gift evil eye jewellery to people you want to protect, and it projects people’s bad intentions back onto them. It’s a karma thing.”

“You really do love the whole… hippie thing, don’t you?” James asked.

“I love Remus.” Sirius answered simply. “If he wants to protect me, I’m going to let him. Now shut up, I’m working.”
