Hand Painted Silk Butterfly Wings Photographed On Artist At Stunning Locations  

PracowniaDor is an Etsy shop where the artist, Dorota, has taken a literal artistic translation to letting her wings spread and fly. Recreating the colorful wings of a butterfly with a vivid choice of colors and patterns on silk, the artist hand paints each individual fabric before crafting them into wings.

In open fields blooming with flowers, at a glowing sunset in the distant horizon, and even under the starry sky and autumn woodlands, the Dorota has photographed her craftsmanship to recreate the environment where her butterflies would originally be seen. The hand dyed silk fabric lends a velvety, flowing quality to the artist’s wings, which when paired with the dazzling colors of one of nature’s most envied canvas, pays a beautiful homage to artist’s inspiration. Find them in her Etsy shop.

Post From Tumblr My boyfriend told me over text that he didn't know the Minotaur story - August 04,

Boyfriend: I... I don't even know the story that well babe, I can't even say xD
Me:Okay so
Me:Poseidon gives a bull to King Minos, the best and shiniest bull you ever saw, and he's like "You can have this, but only if you promise to sacrifice it to me later" and Minos is like "Sure yeah okay man whatever" so Poseidon sends this bestest bull ever galloping up out of the salty sea spray, and everyone standing around is like "Hot fuck look at that bull" And Minos agrees, and he likes the bull SO much he decides to just quietly sort of...keep it. And he does kill a bull for Poseidon but it's one of his own, lame normal bulls, and Poseidon's no pushover so of course he notices.
Me:Poseidon is also notoriously easily angered, and he's royal pissed about this, so he comes up with one of the most devious punishments ever, and he infects Minos' wife Pasiphae with a desperate, DESPERATE thirst for the bull. Like she can think of nothing but getting some of that hot Bull D.
Boyfriend:..........Thefuck.
Me: But it's hard to convince a bull, especially a divinely spawned bull, to fuck you if you are in fact not a cow but a human queen, so she comes up with a plan
Boyfriend:I thought some god comes down in bull form and fucks her??
Me: Ohh, no no no, that's the much much more tame story of Europa, who has sex with Zeus in bull form. This is different
Me:She goes to the best inventor she knows, Daedalus, and she's like "I need this bull to fuck me I NEED IT" and Daedalus is like "That's really weird maybe you should talk to someone" and she's like "I am talking to you and I am your queen so you better fucking make this happen for me I am going to peel my own skin off if I don't get some bull dick ASAP. But he doesn't want me because I am not fat, four-legged, and mooing."
Boyfriend: Oh..... oh no.
Me: So Daedalus shrugs, probably shudders a little, and builds the prettiest, most fuckable wooden cow a bull ever saw, but he makes it hollow, presumably with some openings in some awkward places.
Boyfriend: OH GOD. NO.
Me:So Pasiphae puts this monstrosity in the field with the bull, climbs in it, and waits. And Daedalus really is a skilled inventor, and he apparently knows what a bull likes, because Pasiphae finally gets the hot bull loving she's been dreaming of
Boyfriend: I........ I need an aspirin. That is disgusting.
Me: Only she apparently hasn't been tracking her cycles, because she gets pregnant, and births the minotaur and King Minos is like "What the fuck?" and Pasiphae is like "Honey I need to tell you something"
Me:And that is how it happened
Boyfriend: That is NOT HOW THAT WORKS
Me: Welcome to Mythology.

Post From Tumblr Sick in bed with a Kindle (and internet) - August 04, 2016 at 07:21AM kindle, read

I think the browser is called Silk in Kindle OS, and I have a page that opens on the most used sites as a default.

What I’ve found a lot of fun and instantly diverting is The Gutenberg Project, and searching by categories.

I have works by Susan B. Anthony on women’s suffrage to read now.  I read the most charming treatise on traveling with a baby on trains during WWII yesterday.

Isn’t this a delightful step back in time?  Keep in mind, cultural framing is what it is and privilege is in full play here, but.

The words are there to read.  And while I am still able to read while I wait this virus out (fever, laryngitis, fatigue), I can let the Kindle go get the books for me.

You might take a gander as well.
