Back to Jeeves & Wooster for another crossover, this time with Downton Abbey.  Absolutely love this fic - Bertie’s tone of voice is spot on and Thomas Barrow’s general cynicism and bafflement at his benefactor’s behavior is fantastic.  Love the ending, and this is one of the first fics where I really get the Bertie/Jeeves pairing.

My Wooster & Wimsey Quarto Quartet is complete!  My title font choice, AR Bonnie, might not have been the best for a title of this length but it was too late in the game to change things up.  Still really pleased with how things turned out, especially with the title on the HTV title on the cover bookcloth instead of the spine (which was too skinny).

❤️‍🔥 did this necklace for the local fandom market. Two serpentine stone beads (for the serpent, yes)), THAT title of THAT Queen song… hope it will help someone waiting for the Season 3.

Bonus Crozier tea:

I went onboard the Terror in the evening for it

was quite calm & found Hodgson better for

he had been ill & Crozier looking like a sick

owl - I had tea with him.

⚓️ made me a necklace (ordinary beads + sodalite beads + black agate as a clasp) with that legendary quote 💔❤️‍🩹 So it’s December now, we have really cold and severe winter and it’s the best time to rewatch The Terror.

Daily witch workshop of mine 💚 made some standard protective pendants and did some staves for the new Ogham sets. My darling 🐱 Cesare is always so curious about what’s the wooden/witchy hell is going on.

Made the second raven as a custom order. I love them 😍

An engaging conversation~

🧟‍♀️ This one I’ve made before New Year for my friend and I was really excited to get again into the Walking dead fandom I’ve loved in 2006. This one became a decoration for Christmas tree and we can find here except of usual pyrography also howlite, black agate, seashell and two special black beads against the Evil eye 👁 🧟‍♂️

And the first handmade-from-pyrography-hell bracelet is ready. Well, it was quite difficult to polish round wooden tiny beads into flat-sided (to burn there letters), but I've managed.

This bracelet is my personal favourite. I can make the same on demand, but this one will be mine) forever))

🎄 Decorated my Christmas tree with this - the favourite "magic-experienced" quote, made on the birch piece from my workshop. Also I've added some suitable stones: amethyst is said to be the main one for all spiritual tasks, and grey jasper is also good for this. After all, grey jasper reminded me of the London sky and this thought led me again to that moment from novel, about "the speaking sky".

[oh-mr-wintersmith]

Well, I've tried to make me for the first time some Childermass-stuff, and here we go. I used an old wooden piece from my workshop, an old leather cord, one silver bead (in a shape of feather!) and... my own pyrography skills - used only to make runes or ogham symbols (which are cool but simple to draw). I've chosen that "an old Northern English oath", By bird and book. And the raven and the book itself)  

Here on the pic it's among my other Childermass-stuff decorations: old top hat, cards de Marseille (not drawn but at least printed and cut out by me - and such self-made deck is quite "talkative" for divination) and an old horseshoe. I keep it at home as an old symbol of magical protection anyway.

Doin’ some magic on my own today 🖤

Blessed Yule! The next ogham set we’ve made for sale - and some holly branches with not-so-spiky leaves (the only type we have here in Moscow).
