Bibliophile Inspired Necklaces

UK-based designer “Rio” from Literary Emporium specializes in creating handmade jewelry, stationery and gifts inspired by classical literature. With a degree in English and a lover of literature and beautiful books, the artist was compel to create homages for her favorite novels and quotes.

Her first literary creation began as single postcard featuring a famous quote from Wuthering Heights. Now “Rio” offers her expertise and bookworm passion into designing exclusive gifts, which book lovers will not be able to resist. Adorned with a symbolic necklace designated to each book (i.e., the owl in Harry Potter, the cage in Jane Eyre, the dashing bow tie in The Great Gatsby and more), each piece is attached to a postcard with a relevant excerpt. You can find her entire collection of bibliophile gifts in her Etsy shop.

Heraldry and same-sex marriage

The College of Arms has made new rules about heraldry in same-sex marriages. I thought a diagram might elucidate. Please feel free to share this around!

The Heraldry tag is positively exploding with this news. I’m really glad someone drew it up. (he didn’t cover the arms borne in pretence in the case of a woman whose wife is an heraldic heiress, but all the more common and important stuff is covered).

This is old news by now (well, old compared to news, it’s still very new heraldically), but very interesting and deserves another reblog.

I went into a bit more detail about what the language of the rules mean here.

Minna Sundberg, creator of the webcomic Stand Still. Stay Silent, a story set in a lushly imagined post-apocalyptic Nordic world, has drawn the antidote to the boring linguistic tree diagram.

For younger characters:

Pickpocket

Shop assistant

Student
