So, Amanda and I enrolled in our classes for fall and one of them is a lecture on ‘The Hobbit’!
The Great Egret
This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
One of three pieces I’m going to do for the Russian folk tale Vasilisa the Beautiful. This is the white knight from the story. I am obsessed with Russian and Eurasian history so i didn’t have to do any additional research. I just adore this stuff.
The Red and Black knights are on there way so stay tuned!
