Thing I Made Thursday #11: Skull and Red Roses Box!

[naamah_darling]

Vintage-tattoo-flash-inspired pirate treasure box is available on Etsy.

Lord, you guys, this one's pretty. I so wasn't expecting to like it this much.

This is the one I was talking about earlier, that's a departure from my usual style. It was fun. Because of the roses and the tattoo-like style, this one has a kind of romance to it I find

So, so beautiful. I have a thing for hearts with daggers thru them and old tattoo flash iconography, and skulls and roses? Well, I am an old deadhead. All but one of my tats have roses in them.

Have you ever heard of this thing in business called the Quality triangle? One side is "cheap", one is "fast" and one is "good". You can only have 2, not all 3. Cheap and good but not fast. Cheap and fast but not good. Good and fast but not cheap.

That's . . . exceedingly sensible. I like that. I don't even do "fast" most of the time, but still, it holds up!

"Not cheap, wasn't easy"? in Latin?

Try on "Ne vilis, ne facilis," and see if that fits.

I also looked up "expensive and difficult": "Carus et difficilis."

I like Latin. It makes me smile.

(I am not a Latin expert, nor do I play one on TV; I just Googled some stuff and found a list of Latin vocabulary words.)

I think "ne vilis, non facilis" would work better.

Ooh, that's beautiful! I love the rose and dagger on the side.

Those are GORGEOUS.

Unrelated to this post, I find that this song reminds me of some of the relationships in Pride and Prostitutes, and I thought you might enjoy it.

Those lyrics are amazing! I will have to listen to the track at my other computer, but wow!
