Paradise Fiber Club Box - May: A Song of Wool and Silk Part 2

-
Picking up where we left off, I had just pulled forth a mysterious package with a sticker labeled "Ice".


It contained a lovely twill fiber! The "Ice" colorway for this month, one ounce of a South American wool and viscose tweed. The color is lovely, and I begin my apologies over my phone not being able to really convey the lovely colors in this month's fibers.


Now into the main fibers. Again, the colors really don't come through on my camera, but this is GORGEOUS. Merino and Mulberry silk, three ounces of the colorway "Not Today". So many lovely shades of brown, and so sinfully soft. Believe you me, everyone in the house rubbed it on their face and went "Oooooooo".



Merino and Mulberry silk, three ounces of the colorway "Blue Eyes". If anything, this is even more beautiful than the other fiber. The navy tones and even a little of a teal/aqua color. The second picture is me trying to block the light to let the colors show a little better. Minimal success but DAMN it is SO PRETTY!


The top part of the list of everything in the box; contains more details of what I got!


The bottom part of the list of everything in the box; contains more details of what I got! That was an excellent, lovely box and I am utterly thrilled. One month in, and I would say this subscription box is completely worth the cost, especially since shipping is included in the cost.


Their attention to detail when it comes to their themes (the packing paper in the box is lightly scented and it was very nice) is incredible, and it was watching a year of box openings by one of their affiliates that prompted me to decide this was how I was going to scratch my yarn/fiber hoarding itch. So far? No regrets. I'm already excited for next month!

Paradise Fiber Club Box - June: Enchanted Forest

And now, we are caught back up to my latest box. Maybe the next box will get posted around the same time I receive it next month, but maaaan, I am not sure I'd hold my breath on that one. Ideally I'll be posting more about crafts and maybe getting the downstairs and craft room finally organized. IT'S ONLY BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I MOVED AND STILL I HAVE PILES INSTEAD OF A NICE ORGANIZED CRAFT ROOM. Oh June box. You fill me with a vague desire to be productive which I know that I will not follow up on. Yet. First look at the box, and then the view of the newsletter. Has a lot of information about the Ramie fiber included in this month's box, as seen in the box menu below: We've got some purple! Oh wow, we've DEFINITELY got some purple going on this month, wow. First look at the contents of the box; I see something already that makes it worth summoning the Tea Cryptid forth to assist. The Tea Cryptid, if you haven't already guessed based on previous posts, is m

The Largesse Box: Part One

So, for a looooong time I've been planning on decorating this wooden craft chest I've had kicking around for the better part of ten years, and then filling the damn thing up with largesse and inflicting the resulting craft monster on An Tir's Largesse coordinator (because no way am I presenting this thing directly to whoever the sitting royals are when I finally get it filled - it's taken like two years to get THIS far, so lord knows when I'll actually FINISH). I've actually made a start on the contents - the painted drop spindles and the viking hats are meant for this undertaking, after all. A few days ago the bug to start getting serious on at least finishing out the box bit me hard, and I drafted up an initial plan on how this stupid thing would be painted. Promising, but of course later on I ran into problems and had to rethink this, HEAVILY. So anyway, today I found the chest, emptied it out (incidentally I found 1. my missing grey hoodie and 2. some more f

Magic, and the Orders of the Exodus Covenant

Magic! Ah, magic. Always a pain in the ass. Magic is broken up into a few subcategaories. Racial Magic: Racial magic is magic that is innate to all members of a species. Very few races have magic common to every member of a species – a good example would be harpies; every member of their species has racial magic enabling them to actually fly. Dwarves, too – they have sort of an earth sense. Personal Magic: Personal magic is magic that is innate to a certain person; they are born with the innate ability. This one is a bit odd – for example, 90% of all non-Covah humans are born with magic that makes them highly adaptable; that 10% means it’s not racial. Most people have two, maybe three gifts like this, and half the time, they don’t precisely seem like “magic”. For example, the naga in my NaNo – her special talent, in addition to the human adaptability, is a gift for languages – it takes her very little time to be able to be fully fluent in a new language. The dwarf,
