This is a simple ward that I’ve used for my rooms throughout college that’s subtle and only requires storm water.

Free to do, collect storm water in the way of your choosing and wet a cloth with it. Wipe the doorframe of your room/apartment/house/etc. with the storm water. You can say an incantation if you’d like, personalize it in any way you feel necessary, and that finishes the ward. It’s very simple, I like to think that storm water is a good protector and that it creates a barrier for your space!! Do you own research and stay safe!!

Ok lol I got another request hope you don't mind: caveputer in a silly hat of your choice?

I thought Mickey’s sorcerer hat would be a fun one for Caveputer :) No telling what he would do with its power, but it could only lead to chaos

Just made a fresh batch of moon and salt water spray, and it’s charging on my selenite overnight. I’m excited to use it because it’s been a long time since I have and my room desperately needs it. I usually use it every night, but lots of things have happened to where I physically could not.

Yay!

your orchids are so cool! can we see the entire collection?

I will ABSOLUTELY show more photos of my current hyperfixation, ehehehe, thank you so much! <3 I've moved the cattleya to my eastern windowsill and my dendrobium nobile is chilling in the place of honor on the kitchen counter where my biggest bloomer at any given point in time goes, and one of my violets is also in my bedroom for some pizzazz, but the rest of the orchids and violets/streps are on this plant shelf!

She's a bit tall, so I've added the dendrobium nobile (Angel Moon 'Love Letter,' lovely but mild fragrance!) side by side to avoid stretching the dash too much, haha. I have it lit with Barrina LED lights on timers, and they have a super cozy glow, don't let my camera auto-editing the lighting to be so stark fool you.

The top row is hard to get a good zoomed out pic of because the Oncostele Red Silk 'HOF' flower spike is so damn tall, so I've cut it out of the pic since it's not blooming yet - but soon! This is where I try to keep all my currently-blooming flowers, and the oncidium takes up a ton of space at the moment... and as you may be able to see, the yellow and harlequin phalaenopsis are soon to be losing their blooms! They're both growing new leaves and roots at the moment, and the yellow phal actually has been in bloom on the same spikes for 9 months straight, which is absolutely insane. They're both no ID grocery store plants, which tend to be bred for really prolific blooms!

The second row is currently housing my blooming violet and strep, as well as my two smaller non-blooming streps. The bottom left one is actually a mini, so it will be staying in that small pot forever! One of the huge pros of violets for me is that they don't really exceed a 4" flower pot size ever, no matter if you've had them ten months or ten years.

The mini strep is Fernwood's Silhouette, the larger one is DS Riushele (google this one, the blooms are a deep purple and super frilly!), the violet is Frosty Cherry, and the far right strep is Bristol's Mascara!

The bottom row is where I try to keep my currently non-blooming orchids, but the little rescue I found at the store with most of the flower spike snapped off and one measly (and super pretty) flower left made it down there as well for lack of space, haha.

The tallest plant here is a Dancing Lady oncidium orchid that has an amazing and strong fragrance. It used to be in my kitchen and filled the whole kitchen area with its scent in the mornings! The smallest orchid in the clear pot is actually one I kidnapped (with permission) from my program director's office to rehab it, lol. I'll be giving it back once it puts out another flower spike. The big pot on the bottom right has a pure white phalaenopsis that's currently growing a new flower spike for the third time in my care, and it's a flower that my mom gave me, so it holds a special place in my heart!

Then the very top left tiny phalaenopsis orchid is just a little purple grocery store mini that had almost no roots left for a long time. It's flowered twice in my care before I messed up its roots trying to separate it from being double-potted, so I'm very proud that it's now growing a new leaf. And lastly the two violets are Cajun's Queen's Lace (left) and PT Wild Plum (right, post plant surgery).

And that's the orchids and violets! :D I actually have, uh. Checks watch. 41 plants including hoyas, nerve plants, a fiddle leaf fig, and a pothos, not to mention the aquarium garden and the edible patio plants, so this isn't actually all of them, but the rest are elsewhere in the house and aside from the ones I mentioned in the first paragraph aren't in the orchid/violet category!

How to Paint a Stained Glass Window on Canvas.

Ft. Princess Peach

I took a college class on Scene Painting once, and as our final project, we had to apply everything we learned and make a stained glass window out of canvas and paint.

We could copy any design we wanted, and I chose to do the Princess Peach stained glass window from the games.

Since I had a lot of fun making it, let me show you the process.

First, we divided the canvas into squares that are all the same size. 6 vertical squares and 4 horizontal squares. Do the same thing with the reference photo and then copy the lines using charcoal.

Next, you lightly brush off the charcoal, enough to still see the lines lightly and trace over them with Sharpie.

For this art piece, we needed to have a curtain as a part of the piece. What you want to do first is pick the base color you want to use. Then you get it in a shade that is lighter and darker than the original (mixing in white and black, respectively). You want to mimic the texture of curtains through your brush strokes and the shades of colors you use. The only advice I have for this is to follow the lines of the fabric and keep working on it until it feels right. Try alternating between the dark, original, and light paint. That's what I did.

Next is the color for the glass. This part is basically like a paint-by-number but with a twist. Since this is supposed to be a stained glass window, we want to be able to see through the canvas when there is light behind it. So, the paint has to be diluted with water. Also, we are not allowed to use the color white since it will block out the light. So, if you want a lighter color, you need to add a lot more water that paint. And if you want it darker, more paint than water. It is basically watercolors at this stage.

And let me tell you, it is super hard to get the right shade of pink from plain red paint and water. But, I did it.

After painting in color, you will want to go over the sharpie lines with black paint to make them stand out better.

Then, the final thing is to get some heavily diluted dark purple paint to create a shadow between the curtain and the stained glass window. Also, it is a good idea to make some thin shadow lines on the curtains and some gold tassles for decor.

And here is the final product:

This took me weeks of hard work, but it was so much fun and very therapeutic. I am still very proud of the final product.

If someone gave the materials and money for it, I would definitely want to do this again.

Now you can try this at home! Good luck!

In the waning days of 130 AC, King Aegon II returned at last to King’s Landing, accompanied by Ser Marston Waters, Ser Alfred Broome, the Two Toms, and Lady Baela Targaryen (still in chains, for fear she might attack the king if freed). Escorted by twelve Velaryon war galleys, they sailed upon a battered old trading cog named Mouse, owned and captained by Marilda of Hull. If Mushroom may be trusted, the choice of vessel was deliberate. “Lord Alyn might have shipped the king home aboard Lord Aethan’s Glory or Morning Tide or even Spicetown Girl, but he wanted him seen to be creeping into the city on a mouse,” the dwarf says. “Lord Alyn was an insolent boy and did not love his king.”
