Ianthine

ianthine: violet-colored

Hello dear readers who have not given up hope on me yet! I'm so terribly sorry that I haven't written in forever. Seriously. Can you find it somewhere in your lovely hearts to forgive me?

So, now that we've cleared that up :) let's get on to ianthine. Isn't this flower just beautiful? I didn't really want to put a stock photo of a violet, and even though 'tis more magenta than ianthine, I like it. Plus, it really captures the beauty and fragility of the freshly opened flower. (Oh, look at me. Now I sound like a writer! Yippee!)

Prompt: Write about overdrawn flowers. Is it possible to capture the beauty of the delicate petals with just words and ink?

Or, if that doesn't suit your fancy,

Write about where you would find this flower. Does it look strange and alien? Could you stumble upon it while trekking through the vast jungles of South America? Would it be hanging in vines off of the baobab trees in Africa? What would you be doing there?

Iridize

Iridize (v.)
(Maybe you'll guess this one right! I mean, it is sort of obvious)

Iridize (v.): to make iridescent

I really chose that word because I was just hanging out in my room and looking at this peacock ornament I got from Pier 1 Imports. I thought that it was so cool because there was an actual tail feather on it (btw, I've always loved peacock feathers, they're so SHINY!). So, I went to the Phrontisery and saw if they had anything with iridescent (because quetzals are also SHINY, just not as much). I wonder what it would be like to see a peacock in real life...

Today, I have two pictures. One is that one (see above), and one is this one (see below). This one is apparently the offspring of a white (not albino) peacock and a "normal" one. I think it's pretty cool.

I have a "sorta prompt" today. It goes something like this:

What would it be like to be half and half? To be partly shunned, part not? Half human, half bird? (I don't know, just take it wherever you want to). Just try to incorporate halves/wholes (again, whatever you want, if you don't like my ideas).
