Tiffany (Française version)

Le texte ci-dessous est l’extrait du livre Tiffany (ASIN: B00GOMZVS4) écrit par Charles De Kay, publié par Parkstone International. Louis Comfort Tiffany est né avec une cuillère en argent dans la bouche, mais cette cuillère lui fut immédiatement retirée et il lui fut rarement permit de se souvenir de son existence. Son père, l’éminent orfèvre et bijoutier Charles Lewis Tiffany, et sa mère,…

Loans from the Frua-Valsecchi Collection

Step inside the home of a collector with a selection of objects on loan to the Ashmolean from the Frua-Valsecchi Collection.

The abundant display of small paintings in Gallery 50 is intended to evoke the immersive feeling of a private collector’s home. The sketches depict scenes such as romantic views of ancient Roman ruins on the Italian coastline, glowing from the light of a sun low in the sky.

Francesca and Massimo Valsecchi were among the early admirers of 18th and 19th century landscape oil sketches. Typically undertaken for training or as personal studies, such works originally tended to remain in the possession of the artists and their families.

Displayed in Gallery 5 are a group of nine Favrile glass vases designed by Louis Comfort Tiffany between 1896-1920. Favrile was Tiffany & Co's art-glass range, introduced in 1896. The shapes colours and finishes of Tiffany's vases were inspired by the natural world and ancient glass.

Who’s the dead guy Dareths with. He looks dangerous and I’m afraid of what he’s going to lead the poor brown ninja into.

(( His name is Favrile, AKA the Conductor, and he's blood related to Dareth. Don't worry, he is trying very hard *not* to get Dareth killed while trying to find a way to get him back to Ninjago.))

Favrile and Archie meeting how would that go?

((OP this is very much so self indulgent since its 100% ninjago OCs interacting, haha.

"Oh heck no!" Archie ran to grab the faucet sprayer. "Step any closer to me and I wont hesitate to shoot! What does a ghost want with me anyway?!"

The conductor politely fixed his hat, "Sorry sir, I was just curious to see what came of my model train. I should have guessed he gave it away."

Archie followed his gaze to the high shelf of knickknacks; trains, boats, fish and rocks lined the livingroom ceiling around its perimeter. "I *inhereited* that from my father, who said he got it from his. Whoever had it before is long gone now pal, and you will be to if you're not careful!"

"I *made* that for my son, its the 'thunder bird', fastest locomotive to run on steam at the time. Heh, made the real one too."

He reassessed the predicament. On one hand, ghosts can be cunning and tricky, especially ones with sharp teeth, but on the other it seemes that this ghost really meant no harm outside of tresspassing. Putting the sprayer back, Archie filled up a cup of water and cautiously stepped closer. The look of the spirit seemed somewhat familiar to him, but from where exactly was fuzzy. Was it an old newspaper cutting, or some story his father told him that he brushed off? Or perhaps it was from an old photo in the photo album?

"What was your sons name?"

"Richard. Smart kid, frankly I couldn't tell you what he looks like." Favrile said with some regret.

Archie glared, "That was the... Gramps?!"

Favrile flinched and looked at himself, "oh come now I don't look that old, do I?"

He pinched his nose, "No I mean, ugh. Okay, we're related, that's fine because it makes sense. What I want to know right now is, are you attached to that thing and just have been hiding this whole time or did I somehow summon you in my sleep?"

"Oh no no," he laughed, "Im just visitng. I was helping this guy named Dareth out of the departed realm and was transported with him, and decided that while I was here I would look around."

"WH-" He caught himself on the wall before he could fall over in bewilderment, "What the hell was my brother doing in the afterlife?! Hello?!"

Favrile if he had lived in another timeline should’ve been dareth’s cranky part Oni grandpa

((Technically something like that *does* exist between my friends in an AU... though he's not the cranky type.

Here are some misc doods that somewhat relate to it))
