Does anyone else see a post, then begin to type a comment, and halfway through you go “eh, never mind” and just give up?

But how big are they? Did someone struggle to fold them like we do today?

It doesn’t look that exciting, but this linen is from the New Kingdom (ca. 1492–1473 B.C.)

Thinking about it for too long makes me feel absolutely insane.

I got back from hiking in the snow with my huskies and I feel endlessly inspired by the beauty of the snowy landscapes. The snow creates such an ethereal world, I wish I could have stayed longer.

The world could use some more humorous historians

From a book I’m reading titled “The Norman Conquest: England after William the Conqueror” by Hugh M. Thomas, it reads:

“[the historian] Morillo invoked the idea of chaos theory, which describes how small, even random, factors can sometimes have a huge effect on larger systems. Drawing on the quip of another scholar, John Gilling-ham, he wondered if William, who was sometimes called William the Bastard, due to his illegitimate birth, ought really to be known as William the Lucky Bastard”

*me, an Anglo-Saxon right after Hastings*:

“That lucky bastard…”

So for my college painting class, we are supposed to paint a still life of any food(s) of our choosing, accompanied with a practice painting of a sphere (to prove you understand shading/tint/tone)

I chose cheese and wine, because I think it’s a classic pairing to paint. And then I was told we were free to add anything else we wanted to create interest, so that explains why you see two alpine climbers scaling the bottle

And then… I found out this project needed to be on a larger piece of paper. I painted this on a small poster size piece…

Wee, I get to paint this all over again
