So, I was tidying up my bookshelf the other day, and I stumbled upon my collection of Jane Austen’s novels. You know, the Penguin Classics editions? It brought back so many memories of when I first dove into Austen’s world. I decided I’d spend the day organizing and revisiting these gems. First off, I pulled all the Austen books off the shelf. I had to dust them off a bit because, well, it had been a while. Then I laid them out on the table, admiring the classic black spines…

Today I’m going to talk about how I found those American Indian Movement images. Honestly, it wasn’t that hard, but it did take a bit of time and effort. First, I started by hitting up the usual spots, you know, those big stock photo websites. I typed in “American Indian Movement” in their search bars and browsed through what they had. There’s this one site, I think it’s called Shutterstock, that had a bunch of pictures. They say they have “millions” of these royalty-free photos and stuff. I found some…

Today I wanted to mess around with some Greek paintings, specifically focusing on women. It’s a topic I’ve always found super interesting, so I figured why not dive in and see what I could create. First things first, I needed some inspiration. I started by looking up some info online. Not gonna lie, it was a bit of a rabbit hole. I learned that a lot of these old Greek paintings are all about goddesses. They’re shown as being all powerful and free, which is pretty cool, but it also…

Okay, so, I was digging around the internet, trying to find some cool old books, and stumbled upon this whole thing about the first edition of “Alice in Wonderland”. I mean, who hasn’t heard of that story, right? Turns out, getting my hands on one of these is like finding a needle in a haystack, but way more expensive. So here’s the deal, I started reading up on it. Apparently, this book was first printed way back in 1865. Some publisher named Macmillan did the job, and they printed 2,000…

Okay, so, I’ve been wanting to spruce up my living room, and what better way to do that than with some elegant lighting? I decided to set up a lamp in the corner to make things a bit cozier. Here’s how I did it. First off, I picked a corner that was kind of dark and sad-looking. It was just begging for some light. Then I measured the space. I figured since it’s about 100 square feet, one floor lamp would do the trick. It’s a good rule of thumb…
