Extra information
Verve is here to offer her crafting skills to the needy! This is an interaction blog, where your deer asks for Verve's service. She can paint faces, skull masks, antlers, anything. Her other speciality is beadwork, she makes necklaces and any trinket you can think of.
Depending on the difficulty of the task, Verve may ask something in return.
Anything requested will be drawn by me, your deer can give pointers of what they'd like!
You are in no way obliged to use the designs or put them into your deer their design. You are allowed to do with these, when made for you, as you wish, no permission needed.
In case you're curious, Verve's biography is located
here.
If you have questions, ask!
Starling: Verve nodded as
Verve nodded as the red doe bound off. Take her time? Verve was rather bad at that. It had to be done and it had to be done now. Surely, when Starling returned, her tarantula were just attatching the fabric band to the back of the skull. The tall doe seemed concentrated, even though the bugs did the work this cost her a lot of energy. Making knots was not easy. Being doe or being spider. But the spiders legs were more agile, more capable of making the small movement. But unable to make the strong pull that was needed to seal the knot. For that, Verve lowered her head, grabbing one and with her teeth and the other pressed down with her hoof so she could pull without dragging the fabric. Done.
She let out a big ‘phew’ before her eyes fell on Starling, who had been watching her work. ”Oh! Sorry, I didn’t see you arrive.” Her spiders seemed to quickly scurry to the tree next to her. Verve’s eye quickly fell on the red feathers. ”Oh those are beautiful! Are you offering those two to trade?” She grinned widely. Two would be perfect! She knew exactly what to do with that. ”That’d be a great trade, would have no problem with that..”

Moon_Blaggy:
Verve had no issue being nice to anyone who came up to her. The doe seemed sweet, so why not. ”Hello!” She cheerfully replied. ”You’re welcome to join us!” She had been looking for a place to craft today, but she didn’t mind anyone joining her. ”Who are you? My name’s Verve.” Quite direct today!
--------------------------------------
Sorry for us leaving later, Verve gets really nervous in big groups XD Deer just kept coming! Which is fine, but yeah
Inca:
She looked up when she heard hoofsteps come into her direction. ”Oh hello!” She smiled at the buck. It seemed her name had started to get some sort of fame, for everyone knew hers and she knew noone’s! ”Well, I guess you know more about me than I about you. What’s your name?” She meant it in no harm, found it quite funny. The other deer seemed to stutter, perhaps nervousness? She tried to look as nice as she could, which could be difficult with her skull-like paintwork on her face. A nice smile always made a big difference though.
"Thank you" Kaya smiled and

i understand i dont like big company's too
AAA! I had no idea you would
---
She shivered at the site of the large spider. She wasn't too fond of spiders... When it scurried away and Verve announced she had finished, she pulled herself up with a huge smile. She walked over and picked up the skull. "May I try it on?" She managed to gently scoop up the skull so that it fit perfectly on her head. She twirled around, and barely even noticed the doe had spoken to her. "Oh! Oh yes, certainly. I hope you like them!" She smiled and walked only a few steps away where there was a puddle on the ground. She looked at her reflection, and staring right back at her was this gorgeous looking doe, with a gorgeous looking skull. She didn't say much though, she didn't like being big-headed...
"Thankyou! Thankyou so much! You have no idea how much this means to me." She bowed to Verve, the skull didn't even budge. It would be very easy to move around whilst wearing it. Before she left to show off her new treasure to her friends, she said her last words. "If there is anything else I can do for you, Verve, don't hesitate to ask."
"My name is Twilight, though
At first the buck was
Blue crossed his legs, and moved his head upwards with a certain elegance, imagining the pretty necklace he might have in a while. Preference? Hmm... I'm quite a fan of beads, feathers and stones. But really, it's up to you, you are the artist!" he smiled, opening his jaw to yawn and reviling his long, dragon-like tongue.

No problem at all, take all the time you need!
I'm away on holidays for another two weeks anyway, so there's no rush here.
I'll gladly make something for Verve to craft with, that will be fun, and it's a nice chance to do something other than deer for a change. <3
Moon_Blaggy: ”Pleased to meet
”Pleased to meet you Kaya.” Verve seemed cheerful enough today. The smaller doe looked kind. ”Thanks!” She replied to the compliment. ”I guess I do, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone else do it. I get a bit of help though” She winked.
Starling:
Ooh uhm, have a transparent version: Clicky! I noticed you had it on the top of her bio, may look better transparent? XD
------------------------------
Ah she had caught Starlings gaze towards the spider. For a moment she had forgotten not everyone’s fond of them. Atleast it was gone quick again. Well, gone. Hiding behind the tree. Out if sight, out of mind. ”Of course! I want to see if it fits!” She giggled as Starling twirled around. She herself took a good close look of the red feathers. They did look unique. Would surely give a good phoenix image off.. Images of headdresses and shoulderdecorations flew through her head. For a moment, when she looked up to Starling again.
”You’re very welcome, it means a lot to me that you like it.” The bow was returned, the tall doe nodding in reply to her last sentence. ”Thank you for the offer! I will keep it in mind”
A pleased grin was plastered on her features as the doe bound off. She herself, picked up the red feathers to hide them in her stash, and plot out her next work. Perhaps some beadwork first to get her mind away from sanding..
Inca:
”Twilight huh? That’s an interesting name..” It was a nice type of weather too. She grinned at his compliment. ”They say that huh? That’s nice..” She looked at the objects he brought. An interesting combination surely. ”Hmm.. Do you want them into two things, or rather brought together in one object? And anything in mind as what kind of object?” She’d better ask right? The more questions, the surer she could be. If the other let it to her, then that was okay too.
Wire:
”Oh you didn’t bother me. I had just been slacking off slightly, maybe.” She laughed. A loud yawn escaped her for a moment. ”Pardon me.. Anyway, Blue sounds like a fine name, why would it not be exciting? Verve’s not that special either.” Bluntly, it meant enthusiasm, liveliness. And in a way she absolutely lived up to her name. ”Well, thanks for the freedom, though you’re the customer and I want to make sure you like it!” She grinned again. ”For example, I can see you like flowers. Is that something you’d like me to include?” She eyed his grin for a second. It didn’t seem to startle her too much, perhaps because she wasn’t too normal herself either. She couldn’t help but wonder what his diet was like.
-----------------------
Ah alright! That’s fine! XD Oh you don’t need to draw it out, but if you feel like it why not? Otherwise, yeah, no worries XD
"Impressive!" Kaya did not

Thanks! And again, thankyou
It looks great! No changes
Moon_Blaggy: ”Sure! Anything
”Sure! Anything more specific you’d like to have?” Verve could always use more projects! She’d rather load herself with work than be bored. ”I’m glad you like my work, that’s always nice to hear.” The little doe seemed so kind!
--------------------
Haha! It’s fine, I like to! Sorry I took so long though, I got very taken up by craftwork today XD And I’m not sure! I think it started with when I wanted to give Verve an African face because I really love their features, and when I went to research more I realized decorations would really fit that theme well too. Then in a hallelujah-moment in the shower, I realized I could very well use the bug-obsession she had a year ago with it, and tadah!
Oh yes! Sorry we are so unresponsive in-forest, I brought Verve in then went for dinner XD
Sablekat:
Aw thank you! I’m glad to hear you think so XD It’s been a lot of fun!
Inca:
Verve chuckled. ”No, but that’s okay. I will see what I can do.” She had to find a way to preserve this rose! Perhaps she knew how. There was something she had hoped to work with for a while.. ”But you have to promise me if you don’t end up liking it so I can make something else, okay?” It was always a big guess if she had to make something for someone who didn’t know what they wanted. It could be a flop, she had no idea of their tastes. But that just made the challenge better.
Freyja:
Really? Yay! XD Yeah sure go ahead! I can also make a little starting post for you if you like?
So yes again sorry people I’m a bit slow atm! I wanted to finish the next one before posting, but sinceI ‘ve been crafting all day that’d just make this take too long!
I stalk this enough that I

Aww thanks! Glad to hear it! XD I see you’ve decided to come out of the bushes with your little binoculars.. Good!
OrinocoFlow:
Verve looked up curiously as this new face approached her. ”Yes?” The doe seemed a bit surprised, perhaps, though she had had enough visitors lately who had been asking for her work. At her request, her curious look did not falter. ”Make something..? Uhm, that’s a big vague.” She tried to smile politely. ”What do you need? Is it a gift, ehm..” Taking another good look at the doe, she didn’t seem to be in the best mood. ”You sure I’m the kind of person you need..?” She asked, a little confused perhaps.
Moon_Blaggy:
Verve nodded. ”I can too actually! I’ll try to see what I can mean for you.” The other doe seemed so cheerful at this, it made Verve happy too. ”No problem! But thank me when it’s done and you like it.” Verve winked playfully. The doe hadn’t seen anything yet!
------------------
Aah! Hahaah! That’s one long mini deer! Sorry again we are sitting down randomly, I have to keep an eye on an oven ;_;
Aria shifted uncomfortably.

"Of course!" She smiled and

Huh its really ok ^^ i a bit busy now too
Orinocoflow: Ah yes, she had
Ah yes, she had feared something like that. Verve let out a sigh. ”I fear you have the wrong doe in front of you then.. I can’t heal anyone. I make jewellery. I can’t cure illness. If I could do that I’m pretty sure I would be an extremely busy doe.” She did not work miracles. Some of her wards could perhaps help, but she herself believed it was more the faith in the object that did. If the doe was sick, she would not give her a ward and make her believe that’d heal her. It wouldn’t. ”I’m sorry, I don’t think I can help you.” That was the first time she had to turn someone down, and she seemed to feel rather bad about it too.
Moon_Blaggy.
Verve looked thoughtful for a moment. ”Well if you find something you’d like me to use, sure! I do have a few things myself of course, but if there are special things you like, sure, bring them to me!” That could be fun, a treasure hunt!
"Oh I see" The doe went

Orinocoflow: ”I’m truly
”I’m truly sorry.” She could read the other does disappointment. But she was no healer. Verve gave her a smile though when she asked if she could come back later. ”Sure you can. Just make sure you feel a little better, alright?” She hoped she would, at least.
Moon_Blaggy:
Haha! I’m glad you like the idea! I love to draw and I love making concepts, I figured this’d be a nice distraction. Give me some ideas.
Haha! That picture is hilarious. Yes, I understand the feeling too though. What really helps is to find a source of inspiration. With everything Verve makes, I google up different kind of African jewelry, sometimes other cultures too, and use that for inspiration.
Inca:
Don’t be too sure buck.. WHO KNOWS. HAHAH Nah I’m kidding, we will do our best! XD
good luck and inspiration
Aria smiled when the doe said

Time had passed, and without knowing whether Verve was finished with her requests or not, the ginger doe had collected her payment, all bundled up into a large leaf that she now carried the ends of in her mouth like a sling. It had been surprising, the things she had discovered on her treasure hunt; one only had to search to find something unique, it seemed.
Brushing through the long tendrils of a willow, situated on the heights above the pond, the doe lay down there and waited until the craftswoman showed herself, however long it would take.
She looks beautiful, Misako!
Freyja: She had been so busy
She had been so busy lately, it was a very enjoyable time for her. The tall doe walked calmly towards the pond. From there on, she could find the river, where she could drink. Much like her father, Verve had no interest in drinking from the muddy bank waters. Better get it from the source. But her orientation in this forest wasn’t that amazing yet..
Her eyes fell on a figure under a willow nearby. Why that even came to her attention was unclear to her first, until she recognized the doe.
”Hey Sorrel!” she called out as she walked towards her. It seemed the other doe did not have to wait long indeed. ”I finished your ward, as well as the gift for Sonne, if you’d like to see?” She tilted her head curiously.
Jinxyness:
Here you go! If you need anything else, just say so ♥.
The doe looked up and smiled.
Verve tilted her head
”Oh, I’d almost forget.” She chuckled as she sat down next to the other doe. From her back, a blue and a red spider made their way from her side to the ground, only to stop in front of Sorrel. With their long, front legs they spread out two works, one each. The blue spider laid out a headdress, with a very light broken white colored amulet in the middle. Verve lifted her hoof to hover it above the work. ”This is for your protection. It’s something they call a voodoo amulet, it’s supposed to protect the wearer from evil. Or well, whatever you need protection for. It is in the end an amulet though, so don’t start running into fires.” She smiled at the other. She was sure the other hadn’t planned to, but still. ”I hope this will help you with your problem.” She could never be sure. The reassurance her dream catcher had already helped another though made her more faithful this would help Sorrel too.
Next up was the red spider with a large work of beads. Red, white and grey beads most dominant, a few feathers hanging from the bottom. ”I was admittedly not too sure what to make for a stag.. It can’t be too girly you see. So I kept the form straight. It’s for a front ankle of a large adult stag, so I hope it fits. I kind of calculated from dad’s size..” But just slightly smaller, she had imagined. ”I hope it will make a good gift, at least.” She seemed a bit more insecure about this one.
I'm so track this.
"Well, i'm glad you like
When the spiders emerged the doe watched them curiously, having never seen any arachnid with such vibrant colours. She paid more attention to the crafts than the spiders once they were laid out. "It's beautiful! And...i'll do my best, no promises though." The ginger doe smiled playfully. She had a knack for getting into trouble.
Sorrel ooo-ed at the anklet, nosing the feathers gently. "I'm sure he'll love it," she reassured, amused at how big it had to be to fit around an ankle. The ginger certainly was a dwarf among giants at times. "Wherever did you learn to make these things? I've seen others wearing ornaments at times, but I never knew how."
Silensia: Haha thank you!
Haha thank you! XD
Freyja:
Verve had her clues about what the round things were. It didn't interest her much though, it hadn't interested the tribe either when the pale men came to offer them.
Verve chuckled at the does answer. "That's okay, can't do more after all. Shall I put it on your head?" At the question, the two spiders gently each picked up an end of the headress, lifting it up towards Sorrel.
She gave a small nod when she said he'd like it. She hoped so. The doe looked up when Sorrel asked her how she learned this. "I've spend quite some time outside this forest. Lived with humans.. I don't have the right limbs, but I figured I could use my insects as a substitute. There are things I can't do, of course, but I generally find my way." There was never one way to do something, she had so far always found a way around trouble. "I'm not sure how the others get them, perhaps they stole them?" She had wondered herself as well. Had never seen other deer around the tribe.. But they could have learned like her, of course. Perhaps she should ask someone one day.
The blue buck was glad to
He grew excited at the doe's enthusiasm on the new jewelry, and ideas started to form in his mind. Black beads strung around his neck, hanging from his skull. Feathers for his antlers that matched his yellow markings. He spoke out these descriptions to the doe, hoping she would like them. "But please, don't push yourself- something simple is fine." His head shook lightly, dreaming of the final product. "Thank you, Verve." Blue said sincerely.
I will *so* have to track
[Just popped in to say I love
Wire: She smiled at the buck.
She smiled at the buck. "Well, thank you." She dipped her head slightly. Admittedly, she wasn't sure how to respond. Blue didn't seem to like his name much and, well, she wasn't going to try and push him into liking it. He likely had his reasons. Quietly, but with a growing grin on her face, she listened to the buck. "Ooh that sounds great! I'd love to try something like that!" It really pleased her someoen would actually give her ideas, inspiration. She was thrown in the deep so often now! This seemed better. "No thanking yet, I haven't finished!" She laughed. "You're welcome anyway though. I do these things for fun, so don't worry."
Seed:
Aw! That'd be great, we'd love to make something for him! XD
GB:
Haha it's kind of invisible, but yes, it was too cute to pass up on.
. This is the place? The
This is the place? The Black and White's thoughts were confirmed as the doe came into view. Her heavy decoration was almost dizzying with plenty of bright color and unusual shape. This had to be Verve, there was no way around it. His chin swept the earth as he bowed a greeting, but came up clean. "You... are Miss Verve?" A query slipped from his mouth, the stag still making sure to confirm his findings before continuing. Moss had to crane his head to look at the admittedly taller doe. He wondered how her head did not sweep the trees as she moved through this place. That thought must be swept aside for later, he mused. He did have something extremely special to ask of Verve, after all. The male hoped greatly that she would not deny his request. He had to find a way to hold the cursed gift he was given from the Gods. Verve's expertise at creating trinkets had traveled to his ears through word of mouth, and he hoped she would be able to create such a thing for him.

She had her neck stretched to

"I'm not sure if that's what you want to hear.." Her expression betrayed her dissapointment in herself. She had no superpowers or ability's. Yes she could control her little friend here.. The does eyes cast up towards the bug, which was munching away on a fly. "I do have some sort of ability. I can control most insects their movements. I don't know if that'd be of use..?" She wouldn't call it magic, it just was something she had learned over the course of time. Right?
The stag nodded politely as
Several large scales fell free as he shook his body. In his past life, he had been a rather large Armor Koi, he would say around 34 inches long, and these obsidian and pearl scales showed it with sheer size. The shining black and white things had been tucked into his fur before he came to visit, having no pockets to place them in. Twelve in all, they made a bright little pile of black and white. There had been fourteen, but a crow had taken a pair of them when he had been turning his head to tuck one away.
;; Long and rambling!
"Yes, that does include
Though as he shook the scales out, her expression seemed to perk up a little, looking at the shinies. "Those are really nice, good shades too.." She loved black and white. "Well, I'm sure I could do something for you for these, but I am not sure if I understood what you meant. And do you have your ear pierced, or do I need to pierce it for you?" She seemed to smile a little at this. She hadn't pierced yet, though knew how to. She wouldn't mind trying it out.
His nervous excitement upon
'And do you have your ear pierced, or do I need to pierce it for you?' The question caused the Black and White's tail to again move slightly. "I have to admit, I have no knowledge of how to pierce it myself. I would not mind the help." This was admitted with a chuckle. Moss definitely knew what he was getting into, but was stumbling a little bit in preparation.
She nodded. "No it's fine, I
The doe stepped closer when he seemed to agree with her piercing his ear. She seemed to take a closer look at it, it wasn't like hers. His ears likely had more room to be pierced. "I don't think it will hurt much for you. I'll make sure to finish the decoration before I start piercing you though. Otherwise you'll walk around with a potentionally useless hole in your ear." Couldn't have that.
"Certainly." It was curious
"That sounds thrilling! Maybe i'll run into some humans. I've never seen them, only heard." She could vaguely remember her mother warning her as a child of the two-legged beasts that fired hot stones...it all sounded so unreal and fantastical that at the time, she'd put it down as a mere cautionary tale for fawns. She'd heard differently upon arriving in the forest, however.
"There's a lot I still don't know about this forest. It'll probably be an eye-opener leaving here, then coming back..it all sounds so different out there."
Verve watched the spiders
The two each grabbed a side of the headress. "Just lower your head on the ground, I think that's easiest." The doe instructed, as the two spiders each gently dragged the necklace over Sorrel's muzzle to her forehead. There, the amulet had it's place. The spiders turned the long beaded thread a few times over Sorrel's horns to tie it down. What was left of the lenght would hang down her neck. "There you go." Verve said, and the spiders scurried off quickly. Back into a hiding-hole.
"I think there are different kind of humans out there." She said, remembering her fathers stories, and the stories another deer had told her recently. "Mine were very kind, but I'd be careful with them anyway." She was sure Sorrel would, though.
The tall doe nodded at Sorrel's statement. "Yes, true. The main thing I learned is that this forest is a prison." A drawn out breath left her lungs. "But let's hope you finda more positive view." Verve chuckled. She shouldn't be such a mopey doe.
-------------------
Some of you really make me work! Hahaha! XD
Two new designs up! They may be altered when I speak to the owners of the deer of course But I kind of like them, weird.
Oh yes, I will not always include full-body art or shading, that really depends on the designs and if I think they need it.
Woah, these are just
