Virtually attending Wee Con. Loving the point made during The David Jenkins School of Historical Accuracy panel that clouds weren’t formally classified until 1802.
Ed is a trailblazer in cloud recognition and cloud function. An autodidact, ahead of his time. But even so, farmers and sailors described clouds for years using imaginative terms such as ‘woolly’, to describe shape and appearance. Ed here, isn’t really saying anything outside of the remit of his profession. So, Izzy is either genuinely very limited, or being deliberately obtuse. Pick your poison, I guess.
I'm going to take some time in the coming months and learn as much as I feasibly can about botany. Why? No compelling reason, other than that I a) love plants and b) don't know anywhere near as much as I ought to about them.
a fairy's daydream. March 2026. L♡
Repairing sleeve cuffs like an autodidact: I wanna wear that sweater, but not like that! But I absolutely can't repair it invisible like, so I did this:
No planning, no nothing, so: hmmmm... first colour: yarn is to thick (splits yarn in half), second colour: better! But maybe I should neaten up and secure the cuffends first? (Does that), almost finished with the cuff, hm, the first two panels look funky compared to the rest (rips our the first two colours to neaten up, secure and restich that part of cuff).
That's me. Might have got it done in less time with a bit more research, but...
Today I got really into the art of Maxfield Parrish. It’s the way he paints light. I stumbled across his work because I was looking at artists who depict fairy tales and similar. But it’s his later landscapes I love, inspired by his New Hampshire home and his time in Arizona.
These paintings put me in mind of photos I have taken. I’ve been back through my gallery and found some of them. I’ll post them and also use some of them for ideas for my own art.
Don’t know if I’m going off-curriculum already but I don’t care. I’m fascinated by Parrish’s work and want to explore ways to depict light and colour myself. My art skills are extremely limited. It is going to be a massive learning curve.
learning a new language after getting to a comfortable place in another is so difficult.. like what do you mean i have to learn a whole new set of grammar and also ever single word ever
I think I have my personal curriculum almost all figured out!
I'm using Khan Academy for math, starting with basic arithmetic because I'll be honest. My math skills are embarrassing. My mom suggested that for literature, I read different classic works by women written in the early 1900s and back to study the difference in their roles and how they portrayed a woman's place in society ( @cozyhestia this reminded me of your plan, lol). My mom has been a librarian for over a decade and has degrees in English, speech, and education, so I trust and appreciate her guidance on this subject, lol. For sign language, I'll be using the app Pocket Sign and continuing to watch Signing Time with Little Man. I don't know how I want to structure my Herbalism study quite yet, but I really need to get back into that. I want to add Embroidery, too, since I finally found my bag so I can get going on that again.
I just need to figure out when I can make the time for all this 😅.
