Decorative Sunday

Last week, we brought you black and white images of 16th century to the early 19th century European decorative lace work from La dentelle ancienne, style et technique by the German lace scholar and collector Alfred von Henneberg, with a foreword by the German art historian Wilhelm Pinder, and published in Paris by the decorative arts publisher A. Calavas for the Librairie des Arts Décoratifs in 1931. This week we present all the color plates from this volume demonstrating the various standard patterns used to make lace designs.

Click on the images to see the captions.  The patterns shown here are called “bud,” “shell,” and “toilé.” The patterns are connected to each other with thread designs known as “brides,” which may be simple or extended. Other terms in the captions are fond de neige, a pattern found in Binche lace, a type of bobbin lace that originated in the town of Binche, Belgium, and “pillow-work,” lacework that is created using the surface of a pillow as its ground.

I think it makes way more sense for sam to roll up with a whole new character (and a more exciting prospect, tbh), but considering the circles he travels in it wouldn’t be a stretch for tary to show up with adventurer checklist: take two that starts with (1) get to the moon

Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. How much do you guys use the library??? In this poll I’m including the the use of stuff like Kanopy, Overdrive, and Libby etc. to count as utilizing your library. I’m forgetting a bunch of services and apps, but basically if you use ANY service you need a library card for, how often do you do that?

*dramatic announcer voice*

“When space poachers release Earth animals on an alien world, threatening a fragile new alliance, they anger the wrong people. A veterinarian, an accountant, and a furious sign-language-fluent gorilla are coming for them.”

Robin enjoys being one of the only humans around: an exotic outsider, strange and tall, with no shell and only two arms. Consulting for locals who want to keep Earth pets is a fine job. But when a swarm of rabbits invade town and humanity is blamed, everything unravels.

If Robin wants to save the alliance between two planets — and keep from getting sent home in disgrace — she has to prove that a powerful crime ring is behind the crisis. Luckily for her, she makes friends who are eager to help: from planetside, from the nearby space station, and recently escaped from the poacher's ship.

Those poachers may be bug aliens with an excellent range of vision, but they won't see this coming.

Img ID: the cover of the sci-fi novel “A Swift Kick to the Thorax.” It features a veterinarian’s prescription pad floating in space, with the title written in the prescription area. A pen floats behind it and a chunk has been bitten out of the pad.

Available everywhere! With many short stories to go with it, here on the good ol’ hellsite. And there’s plenty more where those came from!

Decorative Sunday

These 15th- and 16th-century lace patterns are from the early 20th-century publication La Dentelle, transformations progressives XVe et XVIe siècles published in Paris by Édouard Rouveyre (1849-1930), father of the noted French caricaturist André Rouveyre. La Dentelle is part of the decorative design series Comment discerner les styles enseigné par l'image and includes 500 black and white photographic examples. Our copy was originally part of the  Albert F. Gallun Library of the Layton School of Art, the predecessor institution of the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design.

Italian Dyer's Notebook

Autograph manuscript, circa 1856-1866

This warped and worn nineteenth-century Italian manuscript appears to be a working manual and color inventory of a wool dyer in mid-nineteenth-century Italy. The handwritten entries are dated between 1856 and 1866, suggesting that the notebook was used and added to over a period of time. The work includes more than 500 numbered and itemized recipes for dyes. Recipes are illustrated with more than 800 wool and fabric samples adhered to the pages. The samples range in colors from shades of brown to vivid fuchsia, turquoise, and mustard. The samples include fabrics of wool, felt, and cotton, as well as raw wool and coils of yarn. Ingredients listed include mud, urine, arsenic, and vitriol. Pages 192-219 contain longer descriptions of dying processes, one attributed to Giacomo Udinese and another to Cesare Bizzi.

Check it out on our digital collections site.

Hey tumblr! do you remember-

Seeing any of these fan comics during the past 10 years? Things like...

That One AA Comic

These Hell Characters from DHMIS2 (which I didn’t design the human versions of but I sort of went crazy drawing them and I’m sorry I’m not sorry)

This Osomatsu-san comic that took me like a solid year

Or any of these? All of which you can find and read here btw...

-and many more besides! Well if you do, hi! I made all of these.

I love making fan comics and I even made so many duck comics that I made a whole section on my website for them (all free! no adverts, no profit).

I would love to make more, and right now I’m running a fundraiser for the third book of the original webcomic I make: The Property of Hate! Has a cute kid called Hero and a weird guy with a TV for a head? You might have seen them around maybe.

If you’ve enjoyed any of these comics I beg you to consider supporting this project- we even have a stretch goal to print my first ever prose story! It’s been a blast making all this content, but I can’t keep making it without support. Please consider helping out and signal boosting to help spread the word!

#fan comics #DHMIS2 #Gravity Falls #WOY #AHIT #mp100 #AA #BNHA #osomatsu san #TPoH #and others! this is a sample #please help us make the goal for the third book! #There are only 16 days left and we aren’t halfway yet please help us out! #RGB #Hero #topatogo
