Remember this picture?
There are 2 (two!) Irish mint tins in this. Which leaves the conclusion that there is another reveal due. Like the ConnemaRAPSoid for Suzy, this one was also made as a thank you for participation in the RAPS for Charity auction. And since recipient CraMERRY was a companion on my second trip to Connemara, the little tin of RAlove was personalised along those lines.
CraMERRY has lately developed some tender feelings for an as yet rather shady chaRActer, Raymond de Merville. So much so that she has actually taken the plunge and written her first ever fan fiction about him. (German language, on Herba’s blog)
He’s coming for her. Strutting straight through the Irish undergrowth.
Much like in RL, too:
Jogging in the Connemara wilderness. He’s got his Irish on (red, sparkly beard + hair).
And because I don’t often get to do this, here are the twin tins beside each other:
I think he looks rather good in green
Tender feelings, indeed 😀

Now I don’t want to be critical, Guylty, but when I saw the sparkly beard I thought he had a bad case of the pimples… I’ll get my coat!

LOL – yeah, the red glitter does not translate well into 2D photography. Looks better in 3D. Besides, I am not a huge fan of that photo, but since it was an “Irish” one, it had to be included.

Jau, auf den Herrn bin ich schon sehr gespannt – und bis es so weit ist, darf er auf den Bildern von seinem hübschen grünen Schrein bewundert werden.

Da brauchst du gar nicht zu flüchten – ich bin ja eigentlich auch kein Fan von dem Selfie. Sieht irgendwie nicht wirklich aus wie er. Irgendwas stimmt da mit der Perspektive nicht. Aber es war halt das einzige Irland-Bildchen von Herrn A. Da gefällt mir Ray doch wesentlich besser, der hat Dynamik und dem ist sein Aussehen gerade egal – weswegen er umso besser aussieht. Versteh einer die Logik…

Thank you. I’ve got a load of things that MUST be done today and tomorrow, but I’m hoping to set aside some time to WRITE later this week. Roland is screaming! 2 chapters should finish his story line and then we start with William Edward who is QUITE the conundrum… He’s the closest to early Season 1 Guy I’ll channel.
I dunno. that ghost of his later on is pretty evil. i’m going back into that one to beef up, but not right now…

More flower crowns in shrines – good idea. A 3D one, this time. Here’s an exclusive disclosure: the flower garland I wound around Pop!Thorin’s head for my little recreation of RA’s flower crown pictures were bought for the shrines on the same day but just before the pictures appeared. Coincidence? Or kismet? The universe seems to be back on my side 😉
And yes, that picture as the background makes me feel the butterfly wings of joy in my belly every time I look at my blog…
