I've been working on my personal fakemon region on and off and wanted to show off this line that I just finished! Gnourly and Trollicious are based off of gnomes, trolls, icing, and various kinds of cake. Gnourly evolves into Trollicious depending on its icing color. These guys were super fun to design and I'm very happy with their concept!

"Night in the Forest" by William Louis , 1859
current state of the internet is a FUCKING EMBARASSMENT. was chatting with my grandma bout the history of crochet and knitting (and the comparative ages of those respective technologies) and i was like "oh YEAH and also that ancient greek fiber art we partly figured out from chemically testing the scoured bleached pigments of stolen statuary (tumblr knows what im talking about)—gimme 30 seconds to look up the name."
5 minutes and 3 search-engines later i am crying tears of blood screaming spitting blubbering in despair as my grandma attempts to digitally pat me consolingly on the back. the library of alexandria didn't burn it was "restructured" to "increase shareholder profits"
and i STILL CANNOT FIND THE TERM.
i am scouring the internet like the victorians scoured and destroyed all trace of joy and color from stolen relics for the LOST NAME OF THE ANCIENT PROCESS of textile-creation akin to knitting/crocheting/nĂĄlebinding that at least one academic/crafter used to recreate the leggings on this Glorious Motherfucker:
the google execs erased it. they bleached my bestie AGAIN from history...
is this of any use
SO IT IS!!!
Archer statue from the Temple of Aphaia (ca. 480 BC) next to a reconstruction of its original paint job:
The leggings and sleeves would have created using a method called SPRANG which predates knitting and is over 3,000 years old. What's even sexier is modern artisans managed to recreate the entire outfit using the original method!
Mmm-HMM, love me a shapely thigh in harlequin hosiery. Putđź‘Źmenđź‘Źinđź‘Źclingy-assđź‘Źclothingđź‘Źagainđź‘Źđź‘Źđź‘Ź
Unfortunately english sources are hard to find, partly because Google's a shithole, but also because this textile project comes from a German museum, in Germany, where people tend to speak (and publish) in German. That said, the original link is to a short-but-sweet article I would have had no problem finding in 30 seconds a mere few years ago. fortunately i have clever beautiful insane people following me, but alas not everyone has such luxury. thanks to everyone in the notes who shoved themselves down this rabbithole with me!
in conclusion let us take a moment to sincerely wish Google a very burn in hell🙏

17!skk snippet from that one wip that had been trying to kill me with a brick:
----------------------------
When they finally reached the stairs, Dazai put his foot down. Chuuya was halfway up the first flight when he realized that Dazai wasn't simply dawdling—he'd stopped following entirely. Looking back, he was stood at the base of the stairs, arms crossed, and that stupid pout making him look like an injured chipmunk.
“Why are we here, shrimp? I'm tired. I have better things to be doing.”
“Like what? Mixin' up another clinic cocktail?” He tried to rein it in, play nice. “Just...trust me. I wouldn't be wasting my time dragging you out here if it wasn't important.”
Rolling his eyes, sighing again like he was making such a sacrifice, Dazai let his shoulders slump and began tramping up the stairs.
“You owe me.” Passing Chuuya, he held up a hand, fingers splayed. “Five cans of crab,” he declared, naming his price like he was making some generous offer.
“Ugh. Whatever happened to a quick and painless death?” he asked, shouldering his way back into the lead. “At this rate, the only thing that's gonna get you is a vitamin deficiency.”
“Says you, squirt. Have you grown even a millimeter since we met?”
“I grew at least five centimeters, jackass! Which you fuckin' know, 'cause the Boss just had us do those damn physicals!”
“Hmmm...and I'm sure I didn't catch you levitating while your height was measured.”
“D'you want me ta punch ya through a wall? 'Cause that's what's about ta happen, you over-dressed mummy.”
“Throwing stones in your glass house again, huh, hatrack? Did you have to beat that ensemble into submission? It clashes so violently, I doubt anyone else would have survived contact with it.”
“You are such a fuckin' waste of air,” Chuuya shot back, breaking the lock on the door at the top of the stairs. Shit. Dazai was riling him up again. Bastard.

Viking dresses by Savelyeva Ekaterina
Another visual demonstration that historical clothing wasn’t dingy and monochrome.
All of these colours can be obtained from vegetable dyes, producing different shades depending on what mordant (colour fixative - alum, different metal filings, different vinegars) was used. See here and here for examples.
BRING THIS FASHION BACK.
Not clothes, but this was a palette developed by the National Museum of Denmark based on paint residue from archaeological finds for the purpose of painting a reconstructed hall.
Apparently, they can tell from the chemical composition that the colours wouldn’t be mixed with black or white to mute them, but be used in their brightest form. Bright yellow and red was achieved with expensive dyes (orpiment and cinnabar) and was thus fashionable. (Source in Danish)
