"Now I've shot so many Nazis, Daddy will have to buy me a sable coat." (From his Wikipedia article).

Neil Munro "Bunny" Roger

June 9, 1911-April 27, 1997.

Bunny Roger killed a bunch of Nazis and then invented Capri pants.

He was expelled from Oxford for his indiscrete gayness (discrete gayness being perfectly fine at Oxford and part of the curriculum until...today probably, at least like 1992?). Then, having been sent down to London, he started his own fashion business, and his first client was Vivien Leigh.

Bunny served in WWII, killing fascists in North Africa and Italy, and often wearing a mauve scarf in the field. Roger claimed that he had gone into a battle brandishing a rolled-up copy of VOGUE and commanding: "When in doubt, powder heavily!"

Roger was known in high society for his themed soirées; Diamond, Amethyst, and Flame Balls were held to celebrate his 60th, 70th, and 80th birthdays. He wore a curious plum colored catsuit with a feathered headdress at his 70th birthday ball in 1981. At his 80th, he made his entrance in a catsuit of scarlet sequins with a cape of orange organza, greeting his guests from behind a wall of fire. His parties were covered by the newspapers, including a New Year's Eve Fetish Ball where the proper upper class mixed with young guests in rubber S/M gear.

From an obituary: "Beneath his mauve mannerisms, Bunny was stalwart, frank, dependable and undeceived; to onlookers a passing peacock, to intimates, a life enhancer and exemplary friend."

From another obituary:

hehe finished him before Shadowheart... Nothing very surprising here xD

Astarion as the North Star from Alphonse Mucha ✨

Finished Shadowheart too 😁

Shadowheart as The Moon from Alphonse Mucha

Did I believe Astarion's hair would be a pain? That his scars would be challenging? Yes. The damned Selune's moons on this fabric were way worse 😆 Anyway. Really happy with it!

I thiiink he's done? I'm gonna call him done. He might be my favourite that I've done so far.

Wyll as The Morning Star from Alphonse Mucha ✨

Shadowheart is here as The Moon Astarion is here as The North Star Lae'zel is here as The Comet Gale is here as The Evening Star

I'm only missing one for the Evening Star to complete the serie hehe It'll probably be Lae'zel. Then if I wanna do all the companions I'll have to make up additional star themed ones... Karlach as the sun, Gale as the Midnight Star? That would work right?

"Lae'zel. Proud. Regal, even." -Kith'rak Voss

Inspired by the series of The Moon and the Stars panels from Alphonse Mucha, here's Lae'zel as 'The Comet'. Trying out original compositions for once, because I'm keeping the final one of the original Mucha panels (The Evening Star) for Gale. Probably.

That fabric killed me (as usual). And I could probably make it better but I'm tired x) so here it is :3

Well. I am rather pleased with him. Hope you'll like him as well, folks 🩶

Gale as the Evening Start from Alphonse Mucha ✨

Yes I know, I know, Mystryl is technically dead at this time, but she was still (as Mystra is now) the embodiment of the Weave, so I put her old symbol instead of the newest Mystra one, as a marker of Gale's love for magic, rather than Mystra herself. And I've swapped the original design from Mucha to have a good view of the orb.

Lost my mind a little and added (if my math is correct) 5,615 beads to Nim Teasdale's Odenwald pattern. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing!

The goal was “soothingly weighted but not uncomfortable to wear, even as someone with chronic pain.” It could have been a little heavier, so maybe I’ll make a shawl with larger beads another time, but I’m very pleased with this one. I used size 6/0 seed beads, applied as I go with a .6mm crochet hook.

Yarn-wise, used 2 cakes of YarnArt Flowers. I knitted the fully purple sections from both, then knitted all the way through the yellow-oranges with a single ball. When I hit the beginning of red-oranges, I used yarn from both cakes, alternating between them. (Not the entirety of both, I played it by ear to make sure I made it through the full rainbow.)

I do have edited charts with bead placements. I will only share them with Nim's permission.
