Painted skulls and woven beads(Poetic done!)

Mis's picture

































You've been looking for that one, special gift.
Something unique. Something noone else in this forest carries.
Perhaps you want to give it as a gift, to that pretty doe across the pond.
Perhaps it's because you think you look boring.
That dull skull mask surely could use something to spice it up.
Pinecones and oak leaves no longer satisfy you. It has to be new!
What will you do?

Perhaps this odd looking doe can help you.
She seems abundant with beads, paints, no part of her is undecorated.
You wonder if she perhaps knows where to get such pretty objects.

You approach, and she seems to smile at you, as if she already knows what you're going to ask.

Below are examples of the things she has made for other deer!


A necklace made for Sterre, an agate slice decorated with a choker of beads. There surely is a pattern in those, white beads representing stars, blue beads the night sky. Verve added in beads made of bones and wood to finish it off. Leftover agate got turned into a little headband for the doe.

A small dreamcatcher, the first thing Verve gave to another deer. It was given to Ephiré, a stag who had been suffering from nightmares. The dreamcatcher is one of those little things she had made with some free time, hearing Ephiré's story she thought it could make a nice gift. The feathers seem oddly fitting, not unlikely those have been attatched to the dreamcatcher quickly before giving it to the raven stag.

A squirrel skull, painted a shiny black. A piece of patterned, red fabric attatched to it to serve as a necklace. Beads are woven at the edge of the fabric, and below it as well.
This necklace is made for noone in paticulair, though Verve doesn't really seem to wear it either. You could ask, perhaps she'll give it to you?

Upon Aurora's request, Verve found a fitting stone for the doe. A blue calcite, supposed to assist the memory and give calmth to the wearer.
Blue beads have been chosen to match the stone as well as the does eyes, though Verve right now is unsure if this is perhaps not too much blue. Will likely show the doe for some feedback.

A bell on a cord was given to Verve from Neah, so she could enhance it's looks. An african pattern was used on a beaded band, in the colors of the child as not to disrespect their looks. Fairly simple compaired to other designs, perhaps?

A doe came to visit Verve, this time with a plea. Something to help her get rid of spirits of the past. The closest Verve could think of, was an amulet of protection. The deer in need of protection only needs to own it, and doesn't have to wear it, but that didn't stop her for turning it into a headress for Sorrel. The ward is to protect against evil, spirits, etc. It will prevent others from wishing harm upon her!

Not long ago, Verve got possession over a dead deer's head thanks to Neath. Thus, the doe was carrying a decapitated head around the forest to bury it. Not really something you'd see many other does do. But, everything for art!

The skull has been cleaned up by Verve's beetles, and has then been painted and decorated. There is a dreamcatcher in each eyesocket. Starling soon came to Verve after she had finished the skull, asking for it. Verve adapted the skull slightly to fit the doe, making the antlers smalling and giving it a fabric band to keep it on her head. It can be hung from her neck the same way.
When on her head, the skull would fit like this.

Something small, something quick, something that was difficult and different for Verve. The doe Sorrel came to ask her for a gift to a stag. This was the first problem, since what do you make for a stag? It has to be manly. So she decided to keep it simple, tight. A wristband for a deer. The gift turned out to be for Verve's brother, Sonne, which complicated things further. She did her best though, and hopes Sorrel will appreciate it.
One feather dangling is yellow, like Verve's eyecolor. Her mothers too, though, so she doesn't know if Sonne would understand.

A little beaded headband for Camellia. Verve got a lot of freedom for this one, which can make her a little insecure. It looks a little different from her usual work, as Verve hoped to get it to fit to the kind does personality. Something calm, not overly complicated.

Not the easiest one, this. Verve got stuck on the design for a long while before she decided to just simply make it, and see what comes out. A design for Kate, fit for a godess? Verve lets her be the judge of that.
The large feathers behind Kate's head are made up of beads. The choker around her neck starts from her head, beads dropping down like water onto her forehead down the neck, crawling to the front. They come together in a chocker at shoulder-height, where two red feathers hold onto the red stones. These were a gift from Starling, a payment for the skull.

(I will speak to you Kate. Just wanted to put this up for now.)

The doe Amunet was the first one to ask Verve to be painted. She did her best to involve her own cultural background, and still have it fit Amunet. Amunet usually isn't bald, and wears a blindfold. So there is a version with the both of those too.

(Heartless7, I tried to incorporate Amunet's robot-side in this, and still keep it tribal. I hope you like it, if not I can easily change it since I now have a 'naked' version of her drawn. For that matter, if Amunet's painting wears off, she can go back to Verve for a new one Eye )

The buck Blue, or Madoke came to ask Verve if she could make an idea he had in mind. Lots of black beads, that was clear. Verve added some wooden ones to add some change to the long beadwork, involving wooden beads as well. The feathers would be tied around Blue's antlers, something to match his markings.

Kaya is a new friend of Verve's, so when she came to ask her for a necklace Verve could of course not deny. She had a few designs to go through, and in the end the necklace came out sort of simple. One of the copper coins she got from Sorrel has been added in the middle, and a peacock feather from Herla hangs from the necklace.

The young buck Twilight came to Verve asking her if she could make something with his orange rose and peacock feather. This gave Verve the opportunity to preserve something, the rose would wilt over time of course if she didn't. She encased the rose in a ball of amber, making the necklace itself from the peacock feathers with little beads on the long feather. She found it an interesting challenge.

(Inca, I wasn't sure about Twilight's design from your description.. So I put a little bit of own interpretation on it, hope you don't mind.)

The stag Moss came with a curious request. A big acorn was supposed to be pierced into his ear with a web inside. Curious! But she tried her best, and added a little oak leaf. It has been drying since last fall, one of her forest collections.

The webwork inside was done by a rather small spider indeed. Some beads were added to add to the decoration.

(I wasn't sure about Moss his eyecolor? Seemed.. Black? XD And I dunno if the acorn is too big now, so yeah if anything needs changing tell me)

The Gypsy doe came to ask for one of Verve's craft, who was intrigued by her exotic looks. A headdress? Why not. Using one of the coins from Sorrel and some bird wing bones as well, she created something elegant she hopes the doe finds fitting.

Sometimes you have to do something special for just leaving like that. And if anything, Verve knew she'd find something to create for the Queen she was growing so fond of. Like herself, the doe Herla has short fur and would likely get cold during winter. When on her trip with Aurora and Ephiré, Verve came across an old fur that really needed cleaning up. It wasn't big enough for herself, or for a whole cape, but combined with some of her thick african fabrics she was sure it'd be able to keep Herla warm. Or, atleast warmer.

Two dreamcatches for Brooks, designed to keep the feathers he gave to Verve stable. The woven exterior gives the feathers extra protection, making sure they fray less. They are made in two colors, and have feathers given by Blue at the bottom, and beads given by him woven into the thread as well.

(Maybe a little simple, hope that's okay ♥)

The pregnant doe Kasmir came to Verve with a worrying requests. Three gifts to her family in case she doesn't survive her pregnancy.
Greatly shocked, Verve didn't turn down the request but did have a hard time with it.

A gift for her son.
A gift for her mate
But the last one troubled the doe. A gift for her parents, to remind them of being a fawn? All that came to her mind were the flowers fawns wore. Using a real poppy, she made a necklace-hanger she hoped would do the job.

Joined by the stag Esclave one day, she realised during their conversation he had a problem with sunlight. His eyes needed shielding. The doe transformed a raven mask from the forest mask trees into a more fitting instrument to shield his eyes, but still not limit his vision like many other masks do.

Asked by the doe Lovelace for a necklace of the sorts made of the small does feathers. Not sure who the necklace is for, kept it calm and neutral. Hopes it fits, atleast.
Imagined it would fit like this around a stag's neck. Kept it neutral due to not knowing who it is for, and added a key to keep it interesting.

Given a poem by Seed. Flattered, had never heard of anyone with a gift for poetry like that. Was determined to return the favour, and aid the stag in some way. Having hooves to write with can't be easy.
Set up the very difficult task to bend a piece of scrap metal into some sort of holder for around a leg, holding up a long raven feather, likely from one of the giants in the forest. It can be filled with berry juices, or any other form of ink. Hopes the stag may have an easier time doing his craft with this.

Approached by Radish for a simple, yet overdue request. Just a way to attatch his headgear better. Added a little fabric band to the ceramic bowl, sewing the thread of beads to that. Added a little amulet from her trip in the mountains to the necklace. Stuck some herbs in the beadwork. Hopes he'll forgive her for her slowness.

Saddend upon the news Pica's mother had passed away, Verve crafted an amulet to her likeness to give to the young doe. So that she could keep her with her.

Asked absolutely forever ago for a headpiece for Oseaan. Had a lot of difficulties coming up with something, but ended up with a relatively simple piece, some feathers attatched to the back. Hopes the wait didn't dissapoint too much.

The doe Poetic approached Verve to have her giraffe skull painted. A type of skull Verve is pretty fond of! Black, gold and blue were the colors, together with stars or freckles for a theme. Using the blue for the stars, and the gold as accent lines.

Neah came quickly bounding forward toward the doe. The child came sliding to a halt before the taller. She gave a little rear, her tail wagging furiously as a wide smile decorated her muzzle. "Verve! Verve! Is pretty now? Is pretty yes?" Neah bounced a bit in excitement before her trying to catch a glimpse of her old bell. The albino fawn couldn't seem to find the jingling object and with a little huff she plopped down on her rump. Her quills gave a little displeased rattle as she looked at Verve. Where was her bell? Neah was sure Verve had done a beautiful job on it. A tilt of the head was given and a curious look in her eyes was found.

"Thank you," she said

"Thank you," she said sincerely. Anything was worth a try, and this might just be the end of it. Plus something pretty and fashionable sounded pretty great too, not that she was about to say that; no, her first priority was this ward.

"Ah...is your father Gehirn?" Sorrel inquired with a smirk. Sonne had mentioned that he had a sister, and she had that height that seemed to run in the family. "I met Sonne a few days ago. He's mostly outside of the forest, I think. With wolves." That was the first thing she'd noticed about him upon meeting- he smelt like one of those predators. "I hope I can go with him next time he leaves..."

"I'll get you some anyway, to eat, along with something else. They're a little salty but I find them refreshing." She stood up slowly and shook herself off, preparing to leave. "How long do these things usually take? I can wait as long as necessary."

Lilyblue: No problem! It’s

Lilyblue:
No problem! It’s why I offered! XD Here you go!

Her ears spun around with the sound approaching her from behind. An enthusiastic fawn was yelling up to her, and she laughed. “Hello Neah! Yes, I just finished it too!” The doe lowered her head to take the now with beads decorated bell from a large tarantula, who held it up for her to grab. She held it in front of Neah. “Does this look good to you? It matches your eyes.” She had taken a good look at the fawn for sure. She had many useful colors.



Jinxyness:
No problem! Of course it’s not a bother ^^



Freyja:
”Ah yes, he is.” Verve seemed a bit surprised now. She knew her dad? ”You’d want to go outside of the forest with someone you just met who lives with wolves..” A small smirk grew on her face. This doe seemed as fond of risk as she was. ”Well who am I to judge, I left the forest all on my own to join the humans.” Her dad hadn’t agreed with that either. Come to think of it he never agreed with anything.

”Oh alright!” Salty but refreshing sounded interesting enough. Verve’s look became thoughtful as the doe asked how long it’d take her. ”Oh dear uhm.. Well, you sound like you’re in need of this ward, so I hope no longer than a week. Perhaps the gift to my uh, brother, would take me longer since I do have some other things to make who came earlier.. And it sounds less important, in a way.” Sorrel didn’t even seem to know when he’d be back, so she’d likely put him down the waiting list for a bit. Others had come first after all, but the doe seemed to suffer and that was important to Verve to solve. ”I’ll do my best. I’ll search you out when I finish.” A smile.


Clare:
Thanks, that’s an enormous compliment ♥. The positive feedback makes me really happy! I was worried people’d think it was a stupid idea XD


Banteren:
That’d be awesome! She’s very welcome to!


Mauvable:
Haha glad! Ideas are to be shared!

"Definitely your brother

"Definitely your brother then. I met your father too, once, but that's a whole different story." She couldn't hide a smirk. "I sure do! Apparently they're...friendly-ish. Or I hope so." Either way, it'd be more exciting than your average day in the forest. At the mention of humans her expression lifted in surprise. "You were looking for adventure too, then!"

"That sounds fine. I don't know when he'll be back...i'll return with my payment then, I suppose." With a final bow of her head, she turned and left the way she had come, shifting between the trees until out of sight.

Should I start another RP whenever you're ready OOCly? I probably should have asked how this works first haha.

Neah reared on her hind legs

Neah reared on her hind legs and slid her head through the beaded necklace. She down at the beautiful creation and gave a happy little chirp. "It looks very good, very good yes." Neah told her as she looked up at Verve excitedly. "I love it very much. Thank you, Thank you." Moving forward the child gave the taller a nuzzle, her heart fluttering wildly in her chest. Neah had never had anything this pretty exept the new ribbon Kuana had given her. The girl felt so happy right now she felt like she would never be able to calm down.

I feel so bad but Can I possibly get that a little bit smaller. Maybe a 252 by 450 version or somewhere around there. Sorry just a tad big for her bio. -crawls into corner and dies-
Mis's picture

"You're very welcome!"

"You're very welcome!" Verve's smile could not grow bigger, she was rather glad the fawn enjoyed her work. She seemed a bit suprised at the nuzzle for a moment, one not fond of touch, but returned it gently anyway. "If anything ever happens to it, feel free to come back and I'll repair it for you."



I updated the link for you! If you use it now it's smaller. (Yay dropbox) Anyway, did you see you can click the transparent version in the tab too for a uh.. Well big version with the full necklace? And a grey background haha XD I saw you were using that tiny preview version on her bio now.. I had to cut the necklace off there so it'd all fit in.

The patter of hooves

The patter of hooves announced the presence of the grey doe. She wove through the brush, stopping when she came to Verve. She had heard of Verve's jewellery and other trinkets and had decided to pay her a visit.
"Hi, my name is Camellia," she said softly, dipping her head in acknowledgement of Verve.

News had slowly made its way

News had slowly made its way to Amunet of the crafter. Of her beads and wonderfully painted fur. Trotting lightly forward, fluffy black tail dragging slightly along the ground, the doe made her way to Verve. Moving along her metal cast body frame gave a creak now again, too soft to hear unless pressing against the white to hear. Amunet stood by a tree not far from the tall doe watching her silently, putting her words together carefully. A few white orbs floated around her slowly, before disappearing when she stepped into the does sight. She gave a bow to the doe and upon standing straight again she tossed her long black hair from her face. Amunet watched Verve from behind her blind fold and let out a soft voice from her blue lips.
"Hello."

This gets a huge yes from me

This gets a huge yes from me and a tracking device.

Lilyblue:
You’re welcome! If anything comes up, feel free to ask!


Jinxyness:
(Oh yes, I stole your idea of the fat speech text btw, rofl. I can’t find a good color for Verve yet argk.)

”Hi Camellia!” She didn’t seem too surprised by the approach. Many had lately and she had enjoyed the company. Well, as long as it was intelligent and spoke back. And didn’t sit on her in mass-numbers. But that was a different story. ”I’m Verve, can I help you with something?” There was something in Camellia’s eyes that seemed to betray she was here for a question. Verve returned the dip with her head, a subtile movement that brought in a whole flow of movement from her beads and the like.


OkamiLugia:
Awesoome! <3


Wingeddeer:
Sure! XD I’d love to see em come by!


Heartless7:
A white doe comes into her vision, long black hair flowing from her head. Verve can’t help but feel a small shudder down her spine, some of her soft neckhair turning to stand up in reply. She didn’t like that feeling much, she didn’t know this deer and had no reason to judge. Verve realized the other doe had a cloth before her eyes when she came closer. How could she see? It seemed her initial wariness quickly turned into curiousity. The tall dark doe got up respectfully to return the other’s bow. ”Hello.” She answers, a cheerful tone in her voice. Perhaps a bit much, perhaps trying to hide she had an initial wariness at all. ”Is there something I can do for you, Miss?” She decides to ask, perhaps it was easier to break the ice that way.


FishBiscuit:
A tracking device? IT BLEEPS AAH *throws in the water*

"Umm...I suppose so," she

"Umm...I suppose so," she said, embarassment filtering into her voice at how easily she had been seen through. Her voice is mellow, muted and soft at best. Sometimes, deer had to ask her to repeat herself because she had spoken too quietly for them to discern.
"Perhaps, could you make me something?" she asked, ducking her head as shame at her boldness made a warm color spread on her cheeks.

Coming to stand before her

Coming to stand before her Amunet could tell the doe wasn't very comfortable. A tilt of her head was given at the question. Oh yes, that is why she had come yes?
"hmm? Ah, well I heard you are a crafter of sorts but I also heard of-of your painted pelt..."

The white couldn't help but feel nervous. She didn't go around others much, talking wasn't her thing. Amunet scratched the ground lightly with her hoof her face turned down a little in embarrassment.
"I-I was only wondering if-if you painted others as well? I am always willing to make-make payment of any kind."

Looking back up at Verve the doe gave a slight tremble from embarrassment and nervousness. She loves how the does pelt looked, her face as well. The paints made her stand out. The white doe wasn't one to stand out but she felt too bland for her own good. The markings would always have a wonderful story to tell as well.
Mis's picture

Jinxyness: Verve couldn’t

Jinxyness:

Verve couldn’t help a chuckle. ”I definitely could yes.” Her blush and sudden duck did not go unnoticed, either. Verve found the feeling familiar, that insecurity towards others. ”Did you have something in mind perhaps?” She continues her questions, perhaps the other doe would feel more comfortable talking about such things. In the meantime, she could not help but take a good look of the other doe. They had something kind, reserved about their being as well as their looks. Verve liked taking in impressions and wondering what kind of decorations would fit that.


Heartless7:

Verve’s face seemed to perk up at the mentioning of her painting, this doe was the first one to mention it! But she seemed as nervous as Verve. This was the meeting of club awkward. But above all, Verve wondered how this doe could see. Well she clearly could, she mentioned her paint after all. Would it be rude to ask? What would dad do? Sleep it off? A weird mix of expressions covered her face during this odd thought process. “Eh.” She had to answer!
“Yes I do! Are you interested in me painting your pelt?” Her grin grew wide again. The doe was like a blank canvas! “I’d love to, really. Noone has asked before, well I’ve painted my brothers face at some point..” A snort. “How’d you like me to go about it? I can use my hooves.” She held a hoof in front of her in demonstration. “More delicate work requires bugs.” She said it as if it was completely normal. “I don’t know how comfortable you are with bugs.. So yeah. And colors! I’ll need to know what paint to collect.” She looked at the other with a studyious face for a while. The blue lips seemed to be a nice starting point, perhaps, but she’d leave that to the other. “I use black, red and white a lot myself, but I can see how that could be different for you.”

The doe pondered on. “The paint isn’t permanent, by the way.. But if you’re careful it lasts a long time. And well, you can always redo it. Or get something new. That’s kind of why I like it not being permanent..” She wasn’t a tattoo-ist, unfortunately.

"Verve," she said after a

"Verve," she said after a moment's pause, "Do you think, perhaps, you'd be willing to teach me your craft? I have a practice of my own, you see. I've been collecting berries to die sand in the pits a short distance from where I reside. I draw pictures in the sand. Maybe we could do a sort of a trade? I could teach you if you'd like."
She looked up at Verve shyly as she spoke, waiting almost anxiously to see the reception of her question.
Mis's picture

"Oh?" She looked at the other

"Oh?" She looked at the other curiously. "That sounds like delicate work. I guess it's temporary too, right? A shame if someone steps through it." She wondered if painting with sand on beads or other would have different effects.. She had the powder from the tribe she came from though, would berries be useful? "Do you dry them perhaps? The berries.. And then powder the color?" She was going to run out at some point. "Ah but you said trade, not just spill the beans.." She laughed. "Well. About my craft.." She seemed to look down at her hooves for a moment. "I don't know if I can explain." Her eyes glanced up to Camellia. "When I was a fawn, I was playing with bugs all day. I guess I've always been weird like that.. But, well, I don't make these things, not in that sense." As she spoke, a large blue marked tarantula crawled up her leg to hang from her neck. "I can.. Well I guess I can control bugs their minds. They don't work like us exactly, you see, they're a lot more simple. I just have to think what I want and look at them and they do it. I've become so good at it I often don't even need to look anymore.."

She sighed, giving the spider on her neck a glance. "The thread is made from web. I sand down little stones in the pond, as well as using bugs that can lift small objects, like mantids. Ants help me weave the beads on the thread. Uhm." She usually made things up as she went along. Most bugs, except the spiders, didn't have much specific role. It felt a little awkward, explaining this. She felt like a freak. It seemed her mothers storytelling powers had translated extremely differently in her. She had never found the perfect explanation, perhaps she searched too hard and it was far more simple why she had this sort of control over insects.

Camellia couldn't deny her

Camellia couldn't deny her interest. Verve seemed almost pained recalling her behavior, like it was something to be ashamed of. The doe wished somehow she could reassure her without feeling awkward, as they had just met.
"Usually I use stones to extract the dye from the berries, and I mix it carefully until I achieve the right hue, and consistency. It is delicate work." A gentle laugh as she recalls her process. "But the larger the canvas, the easier I find it to work."
She flicked her ears and gestured in a silent question. Shall we sit? Camellia folded herself into a laying position, tucking her limbs beneath her.
"It isn't anything to be embarassed about," she said, her voice almost inaudible, "I don't really have a preference, I'm sure whatever it is, it will be beautiful."

A crooked smile at the doe's

A crooked smile at the doe's many facial expressions, she was obviously thinking about something rather hard. Amunet listened carefully to her speaking, her crooked smile still on her thin lips. She seemed... excited?
"Yes I'd really like to be painted. I don't mind your hooves, or bugs either."

She spoke quietly her voice cheerful though, her mood seeming to ride on the others. Amunet paused a the mention of colors, or the fact that it wasn't permanant. She didn't mind that. As for the color choices she had no idea as to what she wanted. She would much rather have the other doe choose.
"I don't know what colors I would want really. I would much rather you decide and do what you like. I am willing to do whatever."

The white doe kept her crooked smile on her lips, and gave a twitch of her long tail. She was looking forward to being painted on.

Jinxyness: ”Really? Oh,

Jinxyness:

”Really? Oh, hadn’t thought of that yet, smart.” Verve loved to paint, after all. “Why do you paint on the ground?” She asked, hoping it wasn’t too blunt a question. Verve painted deer, faces, pelts, skulls. But the ground was a new idea to her, it made her a little puzzled. ”Yes, I agree though, the larger a canvas the easier. But if it’s smaller it works if you have the proper tools..” In her case, bugs.
The tall doe joined Camellia in sitting down, listening to her curiously. ”Not a lot are very fond of bugs. They’re often crushed or tossed aside, you see. Especially does can be a little bit frightened of them..” Something she had never experienced, but she had seen it in others their eyes. ”You mean you’d like me to just make anything?” She wasn’t sure if she understood what Camellia meaned with her last notion. If it had something to do with the previous subject or not.



Heartless7:

”Great! Your face too?” Had she had a hand to slap in front of her mouth, she would’ve done it now. Was she even able of painting her face with that cloth on it? Perhaps the cloth was unremoveable! What did she say! Perhaps she offended the other now. ”Sorry, I eh. So what is the cloth for, if you don’t mind me asking..” There, blunt and forward. Perhaps it was decorative. Perhaps it was to protect her eyes. Perhaps she’d like something new! Verve had fabric! Not a lot, she tended to use it for smaller projects. She didn’t make, let’s say, dresses for deer. That’d be taking it a bit far she thought.
”Alright, can do. Is there anything though you’d like me to represent..? A story, perhaps, or something important to you.” Verve painted herself according to her mood, mainly, though aesthetics had started to play a bigger role.


(Sorry, I'm a bit slow XD I'm so tired after work! But I'll keep this up I promise!)

"I would prefer something I

"I would prefer something I could wear, I suppose, Verve,"[b] she said, she had seen such beautiful necklaces made by her, [b]"Perhaps a necklace?""
She knew Verve would do a wonderful job, Cam prefered that the other doe choose colors and such that would look right.
"I don't mind bugs, you know."
As she said this she scanned the face of the other to try to read her reaction.

Amunet gave a little giggle

Amunet gave a little giggle as she seemed socked at asking about her face.
"this? Well my blind fold is too keep everyone from seeing my eyes. They don't like... how they look. But if you don't mind, I would really like you to paint my face as well."

reaching up with one leg as she sat back on her rump the doe removed the blind fold rather easily. Eyes closed at first she rose her head to look at Verve before opening her eyes. Florescent green eyes looked at the doe warily. The brightness and strange color tended to freak out the other deer as they called them 'unnatural'. It was true though, the doe herself was unnatural. Amunet had not been born but created.
"There isn't much important to me, and I have no stories to tell. I am your blank canvas."

Sliding the blind fold back on the doe gave a little sigh.

Jinxyness: She looks at the

Jinxyness:

She looks at the doe again. Hm. I can think about it, surely. Will keep it in mind. What about something for your head?” She looked at her brown hair. “I could make a braid with beads..” She mused out loud. Verve lacked hair to do so herself. Well, she was covered in thin, black fur but didn’t have the long thuft of hair so many seemed to have. She didn’t mind. It’d itch, she thought. ”You don’t?” She seemed a little surprised, but not so much. ”Great! I guess you’d.. Sort of have to. I would be using them anyway..” She chuckled.


Heartless7:

They don’t like how her eyes look? Why? Verve watched intently as she removed the fold, revealing two beautiful green eyes. Verve seemed flabbergasted for a moment, but collected herself quickly. ”They’re not that odd, right? It seems a shame to hide them.” Of course it was the others decision.. ”They remind me of emeralds. A very meaningful stone actually. I hope you’re not ashamed of your eyes atleast.” Verve seemed more surprised at the blindfold being there than the reason for it. ”Blank canvas huh? That’s always fun. I’ll do my best.” She answered as a couple of locust came by, dragging a linnen cloth folded in a bag. Slowly the doe was bringing her painting goods over, colored dust she’d mix with water. The bags had shrunk in size and soon she’d have to find new methods for collecting these.

(I will likely make a design first before responding again Heartless <3 Then she can IC-ly paint Amunet! XD)

"That sounds wonderful!" The

"That sounds wonderful!" The doe grinned shyly at Verve, excited for what the other would come up with for her. She couldn't really picture what she might recieve, but she was happy all the same.
"Verve...I really appreciate you doing this for me. We should get together sometime to talk some more about art, it's nice to have someone to talk to about these things; not everyone is interested in it." Camellia cast the doe a grateful glance.

That is stunning! I love it

That is stunning! I love it just the way it is lD I like how the ward has a sort of compass-like appearence to it too. and the beads around her antlers! The powers that it has also gives me an idea involving zombie, ghost or 'living dead' characters; maybe she'll have trouble seeing them?

Thank you so much!
Would you like me to wait until you're finished with Sonne's and others before RPing?
Mis's picture

Jinxyness: The doe nodded.

Jinxyness:
The doe nodded. ”Yeah, why not? Not many make art, I guess, but I think a lot are interested.” Or well, so had she been experiencing it. She hoped she wouldn’t disappoint anyone.


WonderfullySarcastic:
Thank you! ^^

Feyja:
Glad you like it! XD The ward isn’t made up, it’s an actual voodoo amulet. It popped up several times during my research so I decided to use it. And that could be! That’s all up to you! It’s supposed to protect her, so who knows what it can do!

Hmm, up to you I guess! I’m likely going to design Kate’s now before going back to Sonne, Verve just thought Sorrel was in need so wanted to finish it quicker Smiling

Starling approached through

Starling approached through the bushes, her ears slightly lowered. She was very calm, but eager to approach this fascinating stranger. She had heard many things about her before, many stories and tales throughout the forest...

The doe's fur, once bright and vibrant with colour, but now dull and faded. She didn't seem to be as beautiful as she once was. She had always thought to herself, how on earth she could make herself look prettier. Perhaps some feathers, she had seen them around before. But when she walked by and caught a glance of a skull, stashed next to this stranger, she couldn't help but wander over.

"Hello." She spoke softly. She didn't know what to expect. "That skull, next to you... It is oh so beautiful. Can I ask, did you make it?" she tilted her head slightly, eagerly awaiting an answer.
Mis's picture

Verve could ponder on her

Verve could ponder on her creations for ages. This time was no different. After adding what she found were the last bits of paint, she couldn't help but just stare at it as it dried up. Was it missing something? Was it done? Were the antlers okay? She seemed stuck in thought-limbo when she heard some rustling in the bushes. Her ears shot up, then her head turned to look at the newcomer as well. She seemed a bit suprised for a moment, almost as if she was caught doing something bad.
"Oh, hello! I'm sorry, you caught me by suprise." The does expression quickly went back to her polite smile. This was a new face. Verve looked at the skull as Starling asked if she made it, almost as if she had to remember what the doe meant. "Yes, I just finished it too! Took me quite some time." She chuckled, her eyes betraying just how much time it took her. She likely hadn't closed them in a few days. Nothing unusual, she got very worked up when crafting. She was going to give this one away, she knew that. But to who?
"Do you like it?" Verve's eyes now held the same eagerness as Starling. Yes she did like compliments. "I've never made a skull like this before, I'm afraid I've done it wrong. I see so many deer with skulls on their faces but they're often quite dull." She hoped she had made something special. Or had she done something evil, according to skull-world?
Starling's picture

Starling smiled, she can grow

Starling smiled, she can grow nervous when meeting new deer. She wasn't sure what this one's character would be, but she seemed very friendly. "Yes! Yes, it's very pretty. I don't usually like skulls... not too much. But somehow you seem to have made something so dead, look so alive." Her eyes were carefully scanning the skull, looking at the patterns that had been carefully painted across it.

"May I take a closer look?" She lent forward a little, trying to see the intricate details on the mask.

oh track! I really like the

oh track! Smiling
I really like the design of all jewelry!
I think in future i will order something from Verve, she requires something in return? Smiling
Mis's picture

Starling: "Really?" The grin

Starling:

"Really?" The grin on Verve's face seemed to grow quite a bit. "That's really nice to hear! And of course you can take a closer look." She shoo'ed a large locust off of an antler before she gently shoved the skull forwards to Starling. "I had to break off some teeth to make sure someone could still see through it.. Could be difficult with the dreamcatcher in the eyesockets, heh." Beauty was more important than things being practical were, to Verve at least. "I'm not going to keep this one though, I am looking for a different type of skull.. But it was good practice surely." Verve kept smiling brightly.

Moon_Blaggy:
Hey! You're welcome to come to her for a request with your deer Laughing out loud She doesn't always ask something back, no, perhaps if your deer has something interesting for her, like a feather! Otherwise she doesn't charge a thing.

A young buck pushed slowly

A young buck pushed slowly through the pond's long reeds, hiding his skull with ease and white antlers showing above the green. Then, he emerged from the foliage, his breath heavy yet not loud. Blue's eyes fell upon the black-pelted doe.

"Lady, Verve ... is it?" a puff of mist from Blue's nostrils turned to vapor.

The buck rested his muscles and lowered his head in respect, soon meeting Verve's gaze again. Not coldly but with curiosity.

"I was wondering if, if you might have something for me, I heard your skills are breathtaking; maybe, a necklace- dark, black, that suits me?" he was eager to hear the doe's response.

// Sorry if this has mistakes, I'm so tired. DX
I could that squirrel skull off your hands if you're too busy with other requests, but I would love something for Blue's face/neck. C:
I hope I did everything right! I can do writing and some very bad art in return, or if Verve wans something made then I can surely do that. <3

In such cases i can start

In such cases i can start pluck feathers! Laughing out loud

She flinched at the locust as

She flinched at the locust as it skittered past her feet. "Thankyou" She lowered her neck and sat herself down, pulling the skull closer. She looked at the dream catcher. "Oh! I hadn't noticed this little jewel before! It's gorgeous." She smiled, but her heart sank inside. She envied this doe's creativity and ability to create such wonderful charms. Then she spotted to the beads that hung from where the teeth once were. She pictured the stranger wearing the skull, and how amazing it would look.

Then her ears perked up. "You're not keeping it?" Her eyes widened a little, though she tried to contain her excitement. "Would you consider giving it away to a stranger?" She grew silent for a moment. "Me..?" Before she could answer, Starling hesitated. "I-.. I can give you something back, if that's what you want. Anything. I will try to find something anyway... This skull must be worth a lot."

Wire: The tall black doe had

Wire:

The tall black doe had been dozing off slightly. Her long neck bend forwards a little, beads dangling in the wind. Her eyes opened adruptly at the sound of her name. ”Cricketlegs!” She shouted. The most awkward expression crossed her face when she noticed Blue looking at her. It sound changed into a large, awkward grin combined with a rather red flush over her face. ”Hehe, sorry.. Eh, just Verve is alright, what’s your name?” She was slowly calming down again, the red blush fading and her expression going back to curiousity. She was glad there was nothing behind her that she could’ve hit her head on. When he mentioned her skills were breathtaking, her expression turned rather shy. ”Well, I guess that’s up for judgement huh.. I just really like to make things.” Finally her yellow orbs crossed with his. ”I wouldn’t mind making something for you. Something dark huh?” She eyed the stag. Plenty of colors to work with. This had to be a manly necklace of course, that was going to be interesting. “I will see what I can do. Do you have a preference for anything? Or a certain like?” Maybe he liked birds, or flowers, maybe a fruit.. There were many options.

------------------

Hey no worries, I see no mistakes! XD It will be a while before the other requests will be done, though tomorrow is my last day at work and then I am free a lot! So there will be speed to add to this. But if you’d like the squirrelnecklace, sure! I don’t ask art or anything in return, if a deer wants to give something in return she’s always happy with things to craft with Laughing out loud



Moon_Blaggy:
Hahah oh no! Run Rachel run! XD
She could make a necklace with one of her peacock feathers? Sticking out tongue


Starling:

”There’s one in each eye sockets, I couldn’t leave them empty.. Pretty symbolic, I guess. They’re usually to keep bad dreams away, catch them as it were. So I thought the wearer would be protected from nightmares quite directly.” There were a lot of reasons behind what she made.

Verve curiously watched the array in expressions on Starlings face as she said she was going to give it away. Giving it to her? Verve seemed to ponder it for a moment, tapping her lip with her hoof. ”Well admittedly it was a lot of work.” She better not tell it was on a deer just a week ago. ”But it’s not expensive. I don’t mind giving it to you.” Yeah. This doe seemed enthusiastic. And why not? It’d look good on her. ”Do you want me to alter anything for you? A lot can still be changed.” She looked at the skull and then at Starling. It had been made for a human head, perhaps it’d need some adaption to fit. But it wouldb’t be much, she was sure. ”But if you’d like to give me anything in return.. Anything I can craft with is good. Like uhm.. Small skulls from animals, or stones perhaps, maybe something else.. I don’t know. But you don’t have to.” Verve smiled. This time not awkwardly, or uncomfortable. She seemed genuinely happy to give it to a doe who really seemed to like it.

if Verve need feathers, just

if Verve need feathers, just ask Rachel, she always can give them Sticking out tongue Imagine how many feathers are falling during the molting! Shocked
If the truth, I do not even know who of my characters will ask jewelry from Verve... Rachel or Kaya... o_____o
Starling's picture

Her ears perked up a lot

Her ears perked up a lot more, now. "Thankyou! Thankyou so much." She was like a little child, grinning from ear to ear, so excited to be given this wonderful treasure.

The doe thought to herself, becoming very giddy when she heard things could still be adjusted. She didn't want to change it too much, it was so precious. But there was one thing that would make it amazingly better, to suit her perfectly. "I really like those antlers, you see, but they look really heavy, and I don't want to come across too masculine... If you see what I mean." She smiled, hoping she hadn't somehow insulted the stranger by asking her to remove a part of the skull.

"At first, I was thinking I could carry it around my neck sometimes. But I think I would wear this all the time! It's just so pretty!" She repeated herself many times, expressing just how much she adored the mask.

"However, is it possible at all you could cut down the antlers? Break them off somehow? I mean, not all of it. I would still like to have them there, but reduced in size so that I can carry it." She wasn't exactly a very strong girl. "Also, so that it's easier for me to wear, maybe you could tie some string to the sides of the skull so I could tie it around my head? That way it won't fall off as easily when I wear it..." She was very excited, and very thankful. She thought of the perfect gift in return.

"I do have something very rare, surely very rare indeed. I have a few of them, actually, which is why I have one or two to spare. They are red owl feathers, from a past.. friend." She smiled. "He was an owl, you see. And he had red feathers scattered along his coat. I think you will like them!"

Starling hadn't ever given anyone these feathers before, she had always kept them to herself.

"Of course, I will need to go fetch them." She stashed them in a secret place in the forest. "I will go now, and return soon. If you don't like them, then it's okay. I can find you something else!" She bounced around gleefully and turned to trot away, but then paused again. "By the way, my name's Starling.. What's yours?" Her ears perked up to hear the stranger reply with her own name, before leaving to find the feathers.

(If you're curious, the feathers look like this!)
Edit: Sorry, Starling's speech colour isn't exactly easy to see here. XD

Moon_Blaggy: No hurry!

Moon_Blaggy:
No hurry! Perhaps Rachel already looks decorated enough with her many feathers? It’s up to you! I’m sure Verve will pick up some feathers when she is molting, haha.


Starling:
Starling’s excitement seemed to make the tall doe blush slightly. When she mentioned the antlers, Verve turned to look at them too. They were rather big. She had toned them down already, removing tines to come to this shape. ”They could be more feminine yes.. I didn’t have a gender in mind when making this. You bring up some good points! I think it may be rather large on you too, so I’ll need to make sure it fits you. Get it strapped too. The antlers can be made smaller, easy.” She smiled. Yeah, that was alright. She expected there was more work to be done before it could be worn by anyone. She listened attentively to Starlings’ story about the red feather. ”Sounds interesting.. I can always use feathers.” She did think about using feathers in the work she was going to do for another deer. A red feather could be perfect.

Verve nodded. ”No problem! I’ll need some time to finish this too, so don’t hurry too much! My name’s Verve.” The tall doe seemed rather cheered up by Starlings enthusiasm. It was almost contagious.



--------

Ooh I remember those yes! I'm sure Verve will have good use for one XD
Starling's picture

"Oh, yes yes, of course. Do

"Oh, yes yes, of course. Do take your time."

She retreated to the spot where the feathers were hidden, dug into the ground and secured by a little rock. She removed it, dug down, and grabbed two of the red feathers. She dug it back up again and gently placed the rock back on top. Then she left.

When she returned to Verve, she carried the two feathers in her mouth. She watched as she walked over, the doe was clearly busy at work. Starling tried to be quiet and gently lowered her head to drop the feathers in front of her. She closed her eyes and smiled, then took a few steps back to sit nearby, hoping the doe wouldn't her watching for a while.

A small doe came to Verve,

A small doe came to Verve, she confidently walked up to high doe and politely sniffed her, Kaya didn't know how to deal with the dark d tall doe, but slightly acquainted, she realized that Verve is a good. "Hello..?" Kaya came closer, she did not feel a threat, so she join Verve's company .

A small, colourful buck had

A small, colourful buck had been looking around for something, something to make him unique. But so far Twilight had only found one peacock feather and an orange rose, both of which were tied in his horns with a thin vine. Soon enough he found the doe, maybe she could help me, he though. "Hello V-Verve?" Twilight smiled shyly, trying to control his stutter.
