my male and female pied ball pythons. as the male is a rescue they aren’t a pair, just friends
A map of the Serpantalon, the hirsute insuffilating viper that Edwige Kenchington calls home.
This is a beautiful little detail on the door of Glasgow University's Graham Kerr Building. Designed by J.J.Burnet and built in the 1920s, it was originally constructed as the Zoology Building.

It's like #snake, but in 3D. Eat the food and don't crash into a wall or yourself. You cannot move over the backsides of the cubes.
I'm getting ready for an #art show at the Pendleton Art Center- #Cincinnati (This Friday-come visit) and
have to take a break from my daily #tea pot challenge.
Here's #teapot #11 another year of the #snake design
This is unfired #porcelain. decorated and ready for the kiln!
"Life is a Struggle (Golden Rider)," Gustav Klimt, 1903.
I won't go on about Klimt, you've heard it before. But this is an interesting canvas; it mixes the "modern" style of Art Nouveau with material that echoes the Pre-Raphaelites and medieval art.
Klimt painted this during a bitter time of life; three paintings he'd been commissioned for by the University of Vienna had been rejected for being "pornographic." Evidently, this was painted to hearten himself as he continued on his artistic journey, despite the critics and naysayers, symbolized by the snake.
There's a mosaic-like quality to this, as there is to some of Klimt's work. And the overall effect is almost jewel-like.
Courage, friends!

i'm challenging myself to make a teapot every day.
Here's day #6
This 'year of the snake' design matches some cups i made earlier this year.
This is unfired porcelain. decorated and ready for the kiln!
A friend! A friend who I hope is no longer inside my walls.
(there's a picture of a snake hiding behind the blur, fyi)
New #introduction post!
I'm Alicia and I'm a fibre artist (#dyeing #handspinning #felting #needlefelting #weaving #crochet #embroidery #upcycling #sewing) with interests in #mandala #art #psychedelicart #sacredgeometry #neurographicart and #watercolors.
My family and I run a business called @Fibre2Fabric where we dye all sorts of exotic #fibre #yarn, and #fabric.
I live in the country with my partner and our 6 #cats, 3 #dogs, #snake and #crestedgecko where I enjoy my many interests. (#gardening #plants #herbalism #fungi #music #ukulele #piano #dancing #flowart #reading #writing #tarot #poetry #haiku #cozygames and I'm getting more into #opensource / #linux)
When I say flow art, I mean spinning props like #hulahoop #leviwand #puppyhammer #poi #staff #silkfans #firefans etc.
I love #languagelearning. I studied #German and #Spanish as a kid, took #Japanese in uni, and I'm currently studying #ASL #Cree #Tokipona #Spanish and #Chinese. I also dabble in #French and #Latin sometimes and I'm learning #Greggshorthand to write faster. Cree is my favourite language and Spanish is my second.
I've been cursed since childhood with that lovely trifecta of #heds #pots and #mcas. Healing slowly but surely.
Hope I get to meet even more cool people the algorithms would normally drown out on other social media sites. I love it here!
