Roi de mes rêves

Kriemhild was scary and mad woman 😓. (Yeah, at the beginning of the book she was cute and really gentle, buuuut… she’s become creepy 👀👀).

Tiger by 十筆斎

Tiger artist 十筆斎 returns, this time with a Pallas's cat.

My sister jokingly asked what the creator of the tapestry would think if they knew that 1200 years later, a cat would be using their design as a bed. But considering that cats seem to have been widely kept and often much loved in Norse culture... I can imagine such a scene might not have been too strange to a Viking-age fiber artist.

If you’re also melting somewhere out there, consider this your daily dose of fan-powered emotional support. And don’t forget to stay hydrated. Happy Caturday 😽🤍
