elvish shawl - milk and tea
I started designing things related to the phrase Not Necessarily Elfin because it is unreasonably funny to me (It's from this parody of 90s music icons done by Rasputina. I never really got it, most of the 90s music icons being slightly before my time - I hadn't seen, for example, a documentary about Bjork wherein she walks through desolate wild places in designer clothes, so I wouldn't get the reference - or even know it was a specific reference - until much later. But then, as may be obvious from the fact that I would watch a documentary about Bjork, I love Bjork, and had all the pleasure of sort of rediscovering these things in the 2010's because I'd been alive and fairly precocious musicwise but too young to notice them first time around), and now it's gone out of control. I'm obsessed with timeless-looking, natural gear that has just a hint of a fantasy element, just that little wabisabi touch of faint exuberant magic. Which we then gruffly deny, saying it's Not Necessarily Elfin. This is from earlier - last year? - but it fits, and goes well with the other textured pale things I've been working on.
