The Hanged Frog

If you happen to find yourselves at the doors of a mysterious tavern of the Twilight, welcome- you have entered The Hanged Frog! This mysterious tavern resides out of space and time, and is a place of rest for a variety of magical folk- both evil and benign. You're stuck here until dawn now, so you better get yourself a drink and a good seat, and get acquainted with your new, supernatural friends...

Manuscript illumination depicting a lesbian couple kissing and a gay male couple embracing from the Moralized Bible of Vienna (1220s).

This illustration is one of the only explicit depictions of female homosexuality known from the medieval era.

I just love when people claim that queer relationships are a modern concept. They've always existed! 😒

Harken to the twinkling of the bells- the Moon Twins cometh. These mysterious customers never speak to others, only whisper amongst themselves, sharing secrets that only the watchers of the night could know.

Madame Hotelier seems to always know their orders, and a table of cheese, crackers and tea pots marks their arrival. They wordlessly sit, moving in perfect synchronisation, tipping Hotelier with a single Moon Crystal before commencing their private gossip.

Beware you don't meet the gaze of the Moon Twins for you will soon become the centre of their tittering. You hear soft laughter from no particular direction, but in your heart it's them. You glance across to their softly lit table- they look at you, before they look at eachother, a single side eye glance, and all your secrets are known to them. 

Harken to the twinkling of the bells...

This was my second original embroidery design! I did it in july 2020 :) By this point i was really into using cool techniques to show textures and i was very excited to try out stump work (basically crochet LOL) for the nori. I love picking techniques that really reflect the properties of something.

It's also VERY SMALL, see last photo with my glasses next to it.
