Tome for Many Things
The beginnings of an ongoing project for my senior illustration thesis. Handmade tome with over 400 tea-stained pages. All notes are transferred in with wintergreen oil.
The project itself is a Deck of Many things, a magic item within the world of Dungeons and Dragons. I take notes and draw sketches of the cards in the deck within the tome. Soon I’ll be binding it with leather.

Current weekly spread💫 Got really inspired by this quote the other day. I’ve also returned to my Spanish class, so that’s why I’ve made the layout in Spanish ( slowly remembering what I’ve learned in the past). I hope you all will have a nice and productive week!❤️

i don’t normally post photos of my personal journal, but since this was just a travel journal spread, i thought it would be fun to share! ♡ it’s a mock traveler’s journal so it seems fitting to have a travel journal spread in there haha

An outtake from the April 3, 1944 cover story - CITY DOGS—Deprived of wide open spaces, they are just as happy and healthy as country dogs and live years longer. This image is an outtake from the photo essay, depicts a young boy engrossed in his Sunday comics while his dog waits patiently.

60 years ago today on Sept. 4, 1957 the Little Rock Nine students were barred from attending school when governor Orval Faubus ordered the National Guard to prevent them from entering the high school. Pictured here is student Elizabeth Eckford walking away from the school after being turned away. This image ran in the Sept. 16, 1957 issue of LIFE with the following caption: “Jeers from a girl, Hazel Bryant (right), follow Elizabeth Eckford as she walks from Little Rock’s Central High. Guardsmen barred her from school.” Although the Little Rock Nine were finally able to attend classes by late September 1957, the fight wasn’t over: throughout the rest of the school year, they faced ongoing abuse, threats, discrimination and acts of hazing from their white peers and, disgracefully, from equally vicious adults.

Not only does it stink, but part of this orchid resembles wriggling maggots. A great gift!
This specimen of Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis, charmingly nicknamed “Bucky,” once nearly shut down a @smithsoniangardens greenhouse for DAYS because of its stench.
When it was first donated to us, few people outside Asia had seen the species, though it is recorded in early writings as smelling like “a thousand dead elephants rotting in the sun.”
Bucky’s species (originally from Papua New Guinea) targets female carrion flies as pollinators, with a flower head that has a cluster of 15 to 20 meat-colored flowers covered with fleshy projections. If that weren’t enough, it evolved to have a fragrance that matches its appearance.
