Tuy An district in the South Central coastal province of Phu Yen is well known for its century-old sedge mat weaving tradition.

The predominant material used in crafting these mats is derived from sedge plants, which are grew along Tuy An District.

Sedge grass is harvested and sun-dried, then clustered and dyed. Coloured sedge strings are sun-dried again and woven into mats by experienced craftsmen.

Upon visiting An Cu village, tourists will witness both the young and elderly joyfully engaged in harvesting sedge plants to craft mats and can’t help but be amazed by the vibrant, marvellous patterned mats. This time-honoured mat-weaving craft is passed down to through generations of the village, ensuring its continuation for younger inhabitants.

Across Vietnam’s Central Highlands and south-central provinces, sedge mats are widely used and comfortable option to sleep on.

The birds in the reeds are dominated by LBB (=little brown birds). They have one thing in common: they can sing surprisingly loudly and persistently

Bug of the Day

I always feel special when I find an Odonate at night. This damselfly came to a moth sheet back in July. Not sure what it is yet beyond something in the Coenagrionidae family.

Update: It's a sedge sprite!

Hey! Are you ok with people tagging you in fanart they do/making fanart of your rewrite? Your Crookedstar rewrite has me in SHAMBLES and I need to make fanart for it like. Right now

I'm more than ok with it! I try to collect it as I get it over here on this post, which is also linked on my pinned. You should also check out the TVTropes page that @halogenwarrior maintains, I look at it myself time to time because she updates it pretty frequently and I like learning about tropes that way lmao

You can also feel free to ping me as you please on whatever thing you're making that I inspired! That thing on my pinned post asking people to not ping me on OTHER people's posts refers to people going to the personal works of others and making comparisons, asking me questions about my au in other people's replies, etc. Stuff that wasn't considerate to the OP.

All of BB's concepts are free to use and change as you'd like! Credit's not necessary, but I do like seeing what people are up to.

I only ask that you do not steal drawn art to pass off as your own, as I have collaborators you need to be respectful of, and would also personally like to consider doing commissions or adopts at some point. I don't want any mishaps about people thinking those would be free to use.

ALSO BONUS APPLEKIN MARKING SYMBOLISM:

I stopped writing the draft where I did because I had written a lot and had wanted to share at that point, but with the new update on BB!Oakheart being BB!Crookedstar's adopted brother I've already accounted for the apple-leaf-shaped markings that are on his eyes.

("Applekin" cats come with these very subtle eye markings that aren't particularly noticed in-universe, as an artsy visual sign of them all being part of a family. They're going to show up on everyone from BB!Appledusk all the way down to BB!Frostpaw.

You can see them okish on this chibi I did of Silverstream, but unfortunately last time I drew Oakheart he was dadly weaning sunglasses so they're not visible. Here is a picture of the crabapple leaf it's supposed to look like)

They begin to develop the moment that Crookedstar betrays Mapleshade. Slowly, subtly, over the course of moons. So slowly that no one seems to notice it except Crookedstar.

At first, he thinks he's just crazy. Worrying too much, seeing things that aren't there. But his brother's previously creamy eyerims start to sharpen. At the back corner, a streak lines the lashes back. The smooth edges of the color spike, as if needle-sharp trout teeth are carefully being planted, one prickle, one week at a time.

No one else seems to notice it but him. But he gets the message. Mapleshade "gave" him this family-- and she wants him to know she's going to take it away, too.

So please, feel free to do with that as you will~

"Related to the Marsh Wren but different in some key habits, the Sedge Wren is a rather mysterious creature for many birders. It is often hard to see as it creeps about in damp sedge meadows of the east and midwest, occasionally coming up to give its dry rattling song. As a summer resident it is oddly erratic in many areas, showing up and breeding one summer and then vanishing again. Overall, its numbers seem to be gradually declining."

The full lyrics to GHOST’s “Kiss The Go-Goat” has a lot of Gs and Ts. What matches it? If it actually is a goat, that would be really funny! Thank you, this blog always makes me smile.
