LionessElise sends you Thursday greetings from the imaginary hamlet of Potatoville, where resting LIKE A POTATO is nigh unto an art form.
A chonky white person in very mixed colorful clothing is taking a mirror selfie near a turquoise banner that says DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. Their clothing includes pink, red, maroon, purple, and turquoise flowered shoes, red socks with orange and red flowers, blue leggings with blue and dark red flying saucers firing laser beams at each other, a maroon and periwinkle knit skirt and sweater set where the checkerboard pattern is wildly distorted as in in a funhouse mirror, big sheet metal glasses, an untidy updo of silvered bronze hair, and a somewhat challenging amused expression.

LionessElise sends you Sunday greetings from the land of REST LIKE A POTATO.

Am recuperating. Have put on nice clothes because I dreamed about them and wondered if I felt well enough to do that. Turns out I do. So I shall recuperate in style today. Stylish potato!

LIonessElise sends you Wednesday greetings from Minneapolis.

Current status: Getting through COVID (first time ever). REST LIKE A POTATO!

Apparently this is a coughing phase. OK then.

Time for a new thread of little wearable artworks. Possibly also a big wearable artwork or two, even.

This is "What the Bat Knows," made from silver wire, Swarovski crystal, tiny silver-colored book charms, and one big black filigree bat.

A stern looking bespectacled fat white person with muscled forearms and a wrinkled face under silvered bronze hair is wearing a purple long-sleeved shirt under a grey t-shirt that says MALWARE CRUSHERS. Nearby is a turquoise banner that says DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. The phone they are using to take this mirror selfie has a phone case with a psychedelic neon rainbow capybara on it, which makes the person very happy.

LionessElise sends you Friday greetings.

The hairbrush in my hand points to the longest bit of my hair, which is now between my hip and my knee somewhere. Closer to the latter, these days.
A fat white person who looks a bit tired but amiable is taking a mirror selfie documenting their cascade of silvered bronze hair (tending more to grey than bronze in this photo) which is now down well past their hip. They are wearing loose blue gathered trousers with gigantic low pockets, and a light blue gauze tunic with lantern sleeves. The outfit looks to be chosen for comfort, and it is indeed comfortable. Nearby is a turquoise banner that says DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY.

A very tired LionessElise sends you Sunday greetings.
A tired-looking fat white person with silvered bronze hair pulled back, wearing blue and orange and pink floral vaguely early-70's clothes, is taking a mirror selfie, resplendent with weird-looking bare feet and sheet metal glasses. Nearby, a turquoise banner says DO MORE OF WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY. (The bare feet look squarish and weirdly flipper-like, with a bifurcation between the second and third toes.)

(These are also "It's WHAT time?" greetings because I slept most of the day. Presumably I needed it.)

Folks, I give you a sample of the sort of thing they wanted to keep their brand focused on:

The Swarovski Minecraft Creeper

www.swarovski.com/en-US/p-5701...
This is a small representation of a Creeper character from the online game Minecraft. It is green, transparent, and built out of crystal blocks made by the Swarovski company, maker of crystal beads and adornments. It is facing toward the right. The Creeper's head, which is a faceted crystal cube stuck on top of a faceted crystal column, has a mouth and eyes painted on it in black. It appears to be screaming. It is mounted on a slab of green glass. It has four small feet made of smaller crystal blocks. It probably can't run very fast with them, but it looks like it's trying. This is a three-quarter view of the Minecraft Creeper character built out of Swarovski crystal. In this view, only one of the four crystal block "feet' of the character is lifted to walk. The crystal shaft that is the Creeper's body still carries an oversized crystal cube head, but in this view it is turned slightly to its own right, and therefore facing nearly facing the viewer. Its black painted on features are square eyes and a frowning and possibly yelling mouth. The crystal caricature is mounted on a slab of green glass.
