Macbeth On His Throne planing to kill more people out of paranoia... looking mad.
The new paper I got is kinda crap for these colored pencils...
So... for the Dinner Date....
D'oh!
Nearing Halloween:
Awww, too cute! Though, River is right, it´s rather a WOOF!
"The Dangers of Fashion in the Victorian Era
Victorian fashion may look incredibly glamorous in period dramas, but crinolines and top hats aren't just aesthetically pleasing. Victorian fashion was also dangerous and, in many cases, even fatal. Toxic chemical compounds were often used, and of course, there were diseases spread through fabrics. But there were several other dangers as well.
Toxic color
Green dye wasn't easy to produce back then. Tailors mixed yellow and blue dyes together.
A doctor from the American Medical Association treated three women who had used the product and temporarily lost full control of their hands. He described the condition as 'lead paralysis.'"

Dear friend Iris, you are so creative, and you made me smile. Homer Simpson, your sketch, and the line up at the tram. I ❤️ love it. Sending you warm hugs 🫂 🤗 and much love.
Oh yes, Henry will be a great king.
Nice new series!
Oh, the Homer goes to Ingo, dear friend Linda! I am too clumsy for pancakes... Yes, the creeps want to hop in in Bombardier 🥰 Much love and warm hugs to you!
Yes, Henry will do his best!
Rather scary, don´t you think?
Meow for the 2nd? It looks like a dog and being Halloween is probably a cute hellhound. Victorian fashion was also a danger with the tight corsets and far too much fabric that could catch fire when too near a fireplace, or get caught in many other things.
My son who has a silk-screening certificate, worked with a printer and said green is always the hardest colour to duplicate, because the original colours may not be exact with each batch, so when printing and order of anything extra green must be made right at the beginning so the whole batch of paper or fabric can be done at one go. They printed for advertising companies.
Hmm, may be a hellhound as well, you are right! Interesting that green still is a problem! I am glad for the clothes we have, boy, that must have been not only dangerous but also annoying times! I don´t wanna know how long it took to get those dresses on and off!
I feel really out of my depth since i have never read any Shakespeare or seen any of his plays. I love the pancake maker Ingo got. I know how much you love the Simpsons, another show I have never watched.
How sweet to line the advent pieces up. That will be a long line by the end of the month.
Lots of problems with the Victorian era fashion. Wait till you get to the bustles and especially the corsets, which were known to kill women by not allowing them to breathe properly. And they could break a rib if tied to tightly.
I admit I asked Mr google about Shakespeare ....
Well, the Simpsons are pretty much from real life.
LOL, I might get the other tram out, too...
Yes, I´ve seen a docu about that time... glad I live today!
This is fascinating. I really enjoy how you connect art, literature, and history in one post. Macbeth looks intense on his throne, and your colored pencil work captures that tension well, even if the paper isn’t perfect. I also appreciate the nod to Victorian fashion hazards. It’s surprising how glamorous styles carry hidden dangers. The mix of creepy, cute, and historical elements keeps the post engaging from start to finish.
I love patterned cooking were. That's a fun pancake pan. And I'm so happy we don't have to wear those dresses anymore. They look pretty, but I bet the bottoms were always dirty from dragging on the ground and what a pain to get dressed. Hope you're having a great day. hugs-Erika
...Iris, your Simpsons frypan is a hoot, I'll be over for pancakes! So now they gave "Advent" calendars for Halloween? Henry is indeed king!!!
I am SO glad that I don't live in Victorian times. I love watching about it but couldn't handle the outfits! Simpsons make me smile.
Thank you very much Melody. Interesting way how you put this together like a summary!
Yes, I´d rather be a farmer´s girl in those times! To a great day, hugs
Tom, you´re always welcome! Yes, and I fell for it!!! Help... At least Henry keeps his grace ;-)
Yes, poor women back then!! To Homer (Simpson).
Interessante saber da moda vitoriana, Iris feliz quinta-feira bjs.
Love your Macbeth piece Iris and yummy pancake. Scary in Victorian times!
Thank you, yes, it must´ve been a hard time. Lucky we have better clothes!
He could need your crown, though, Christine!
Love the Homer pancake, Iris!
Imagine putting all of those clothes on each day in the Victorian times.
We were thinking along the same line, weren't we? The Homer Simpson grill pan is neat. The fashion of Victorian times looks so uncomfortable. Can you just imagine how hot it got wearing all those layers in the summer? No thank you, that's not for me.
To Homer and our freedom today, RedPat!
The Eldest would love the Homer pan. Your desk buddies are cute and fun.
Yes, reckon we do think alike, LOL If I lived in those times I´d take care I am a farmer´s girl to avoid such clothes!
Oh, can´t remember when or where we bought the pan - I think it was not online? Yep, fun Halloween-Calendar!
