Rambling Nonsense

LILITH IS ALSO AN OWL

In the Roman period there was a blood sucking nocturnal monster called the Strix. They were sometimes described as humans transformed into these life draining monsters.

VAMPIRES ARE ALSO OWLS!

Here is the tutorial, I don’t get paid doing this and I’m not an expert at this so please don’t think I can answer everything(ask others for help or look up "flying bird mobile" for other tutorials online).

I hope this explains everything enough.

The measurements for mine came out to 15 1/2 inches on the body from tail to beak tip ans the wings 13 inches long(you can make the wings longer if needed)

Please use the comment section below to ask and someone who has done this or understands the mechanics better can answer.

But Platinum makes surprisingly affordable cartridges of my beloved Carbon Black, and supposedly their Preppy pens 'slip and seal' lids that will keep the ink from drying out 'even after a year' All my other pens dry out if I don't use them at least once a day because Carbon Black is just like that, it is such a fussy ink. I want to try some other waterproof drawing inks, really want a gray for sketching, or I dunno, use any of my other inks in my other pens.

So ok look. The point is not the flared leg by itself. These cannot be yoga pants. These are, and you have to understand this if you are too young to have worn them, BLUE JEANS. And this was the last years before all jeans were 70% spandex.

They were denim, and they weren't bell bottoms. They hung loose from the knee in a way that would make a wizard envious. We all walked around like we were wearing hakama. And they dragged on the ground. That was important. Ragged cuffs. If your jeans weren't so long that they had ratty cuffs, they were embarrassingly short.

And the thing about denim is that it's a twill weave and it's cotton. So not only does it hold a lot of water, it wicks. Walking around in these suckers on a wet day could get you wet to the knees even if you never stepped in a puddle.

Then you'd go inside and take off your shoes and try to avoid letting your freezing, wet, filthy pant legs touch your skin.
