Nameless and Friendless. “The Rich Man’s Wealth is his Strong City, Etc.” - Proverbs, x, 15

Artist: Emily Mary Osborn (English, 1828–1925)

Date: 1857

Medium: Oil paint on canvas

Collection: Tate Britain, London, United Kingdom

Description

Nameless and Friendless focuses on the predicament of the single woman in the modern metropolis by offering a female version of the traditional ‘Choice of Hercules’ theme. The picture shows an orphaned female artist (as suggested by her black dress), accompanied by a boy, presumably her brother, diffidently offering one of her paintings to a dealer whose disdainful expression suggests rejection. An assistant looks down cursorily at her canvas from his position on a ladder, while the woman is eyed up from behind by two rakish men otherwise engaged in examining a hand-coloured print of a ballerina – the bare legs of whom suggest other choices facing the impoverished and desperate young woman. Isolated in the centre of the composition between leering and contemptuous glances, the woman’s vulnerability is accentuated by her downward gaze and fingers nervously pulling a hoop of string. The mud-splattered crepe of her skirt, her dripping umbrella and protective cape hint at the distance she has travelled and the conditions she has endured to brave the encounter.

Inflation has me going “I can probably make that” every time I see something cute and it’s worth a weeks wages

The worst part about holding a job for several years is seeing everyone you worked with come and go, over and over again, making friends with coworkers, or just learning to enjoy working with them, only for them to move on and leave forever.

I finally finished it!! :D

this is the wool coat that was my capstone project for the sewing portion of my classes!

It is fully lined, tailored for me, and extremely warm!

I chose a pattern that had princess seams and put a shawl collar on the coat instead of the notched collar everyone else in the class was doing

Here's a picture of one of my bound buttonholes! A kind of button holes so hard to do that my pattern making textbook just says to get a professional to do it for you if you want them in a garment XD

Here's a picture of the kind of button I chose. I decided on this because it looks a lot like the twill of the wool making up the coat it rests on!

This is the damask lining I ended up using (I had a pima cotton originally, but had a catastrophic failure that made me unable to use it for this project) it's almost exactly the same shade as mint frosting so my classmates and I started calling it my mint brownie (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧

That pima cotton I mentioned earlier? There was still enough after disaster struck to do the pockets! Cotton makes for a much better pocket than damask and these pockets are hidden in the princess seams lines while being big enough to fit my phone, lipstick, and gloves at the same time!

This project was stressful at times, but it was such a a blast and I learned a TON and now I have a great coat for formal events again! The only real downside is that because I made it from wool this coat has to be dry cleaned (which I definitely can't afford after buying the materials to make this coat XD)

Each time you go into the space before Christmas or after the new year set all that back in its crate and acknowledge you want to utilize a ladder.

you ever just look at your boss and think “you’re lucky the job market is ass”

A few of the nurses who work at the nursing home with me sometimes come into the dollar store I work at in the mornings. one of them today told me working two jobs “builds my character” as a praise.

Ma’am my character is Always Tired but thanks

I FINALLY get to have Christmas lights on my house this year, I'm excited

when will bosses understand that people are going to prioritize convenience over obedience. if no one is doing the 'correct' procedure, find a way to make that procedure more convenient. or if you really can't do that, for legitimate reasons, at the very least remove the quick and easy alternative that people are already using. ffs
