Nacreous


nacreous: of or resembling mother-of-pearl

Isn't this pretty? I mean, everyone has seen shiny pearl stuff like this before, but has anyone ever seen it so green? I always thought of mother-of-pearl was purplish and swirly. I don't know. I just love this color!

I can't really think of any good prompts...but here's one that *might* be okay.

Oysters aren't all that glamorous on the outside, but on the inside, they can look like this. What else has a boring exterior, but is just bursting with [character? beauty?] on the inside?
(Yes, I know it's really lame. I told you it *might* be okay...)

Nymphean


nymphean (n.): of, like, or pertaining to a nymph

I've always enjoyed mythology, especially Greek and Roman. But nymphs (especially wood nymphs) are just awesome. I think it's cool how they sort of melt from the trees and just seem all mystical.

Prompt:

This wood nymph, what does she see? Is she magical, or just a someone who sees everything from the shadows? What about her race? Is she the last of her kind?
