Hi! I'm Fíriel and I occasionally share my ventures into historical costuming and cosplay, mostly documented in mirror selfies :)
pictured below: my Éowyn and Imogen cosplays, a cycling skirt I made myself and my first (kinda failed) attempt at natural dying
A mirror selfie of Fíriel dressed as Éowyn from The Two Towers movie in a blue and brown dress A mirror selfie of Fíriel dressed as Imogen Temult from Critical Role's Campaign 3. She's wearing a blue dress with a slit on the side showing grey shorts underneath, a white vest, brown boots and a yellow kerchief around her neck. Her hair is pastel purple. A mirror selfie of Fíriel dressed in a vaguely 1910's outfit. She's wearing a loose white blouse with lace details around the neck, black buttoned boots and a dark blue cycling skirt with buttons down the front. A mirror selfie of Fíriel in a pink medieval dress. Her hair is in two long braids.

Daily bunny no.3235 will get there eventually
Two bunnies ride on the shell of an enormous snail, as it makes its way through a patch of mushrooms in the fall. The mushrooms and plants around them are also giant, so it's possible that the bunnies are just tiny and everything else is normal size

Delightful ‘Dancing Dogs’ figurine. Blackware ceramic, 200 BC - 200 AD.

#Archaeology
This Princeton University Art Museum photo shows a blackware ceramic figurine of two stylised dogs which look as if they are dancing. They are standing upright on their hind legs, facing each other, their front legs raised, with paws resting against each other. The dog on the left has its face turned towards the viewer, with snout slightly raised and seeming to smile. The dog on the right, rests its raised snout against the cheek of its partner. The figures are rounded and smooth with short legs, pointed snouts, pointed ears, and short curved tails. Their bodies are decorated with incised lines, which according to the museum, represent folds of skin, indicating that these canines are Mexican hairless dogs. Museum info: “Comala, Late Formative Period, 200 BC –200 AD, Colima, West Mexico, Mexico, Mesoamerica, Dancing dogs. Blackware ceramic; 12.6 x 13.5 x 7.5 cm. Museum purchase (Object Number y1985-49)”

Happy #WorldHippoDay! 🦛❤️

To celebrate here’s a lovely naturalistic painting of a hippo on a small flake of limestone. Painted by an Egyptian artist some 3,500 years ago!

#Archaeology
Photo of an Ancient Egyptian artists’s small, naturalistic painting of a standing hippopotamus on a flake of white limestone, dated c. 1479–1425. The hippo is painted in profile with head lowered and to the right. The body is outlined with black paint and painted brown. The belly, eyes, and ears are painted red. Although the ancient Egyptians were well aware of the danger and destructive power of hippos, this painted hippo has rather a friendly face! Dimensions: H. 10.8 cm (4 1/4 in); W. 12 cm (4 3/4 in); Th. 1.7 cm (11/16 in) Egyptian artists made practice sketches on flakes of limestone, sometimes for use as templates when transferring an image to the wall of a tomb or a temple. Limestone flakes were readily available because of the constant construction of temples and rock-cut tombs. A number of such sketches were recovered at Deir el-Bahri during the 1922-23 MMA excavations. This painting was acquired by the museum in the division of finds.

A little blue hippo made by an Egyptian artisan around 4,000 years ago! 🦛 ❤️

Decorated with river plants and lotus flowers, blue faience hippos are associated with the life-giving Nile and rebirth. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a ‘roaring’ hippo statuette made of Egyptian blue faience, a ceramic material made of ground quartz. The hippo is seated with head at left, and turned to front. The hippo’s original tusks (top incisors and lower canine teeth are known as tusks), are missing, so it looks as if the hippo is smiling. The blue body is decorated in black with Nile river plants such as water weed and lotus flowers. This decoration depicts the hippo’s marsh habitat as well as having layers of symbolism associated with regeneration e.g. lotus flowers open with the sun in the morning and close at night symbolising rebirth. Height 7.5 cm, length 12.5 cm. On display Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen.
