Lunchtime. Do I go for a walk in 26°C or do I blog before I go back to working?
Seems a shame to waste the sunshine, but then I just can’t wait to present the latest shrine. The latest bling input courtesy of LL got the creative juices flowing *big time*. And with the question re. birthday fundraiser now settled, it was time to start thinking about some auction goodies. Here we go.
So far, so good. Does the styling already hint at the chaRActer which is contained within the shrine?
The one and only Guy of Gisborne, of course, strutting the fields outside his castle. What’s he saying?
Oh yes, days and knights go together like… Guy and liner. – But wait, that’s a bit plain for a shrine… There should be more!
Lest we forget whose name it is that we worship in the shrine. But wait, this looks like a double whammy. This is not just a little blackboard with a name. This is… a shrine in a shrine! An extra slim tin that is fitted into the mint tin with little magnets to be removable. Beware when you open because you might die…
Onslaught!
And now it gets naughty. Look away if you are easily offended.
That’s right, every knight needs the key to his castle by his bedside and a pair of handcuffs near in case he should be surprised by ruffians in the night.
Honestly, with those bedroom eyes on him, I don’t even mind that Guy is fully dressed in his dainty, flower-linen bed. Especially with those paraphernalia at hand.
And yes, I know that you are dying to lift the covers. So, let’s peek… [spoiler warning]
Or maybe the key and cuffs are for other purposes? And aren’t you just dying to tickle that tantalising glimpse of flesh under his tunic with the feather?
So, two-in-one pocket shrine, to cover day and night. Just in case. Literally.
So, this one is going to go into the auctions. Hopefully it will find a taker, because it is… well, a bit naughty. But it is a world first – the first time I have put a shrine in a shrine, so double the fun. And including tactile interactivity. Because every day needs a knight. And every night needs a Guy.
Ha! This shrine is brilliant; totally makes my day. 😍 You are wonderful!

I did see O8 for a third time after you created this lovely shrine, so the thought of a pair of cuffs remaining for our lovely but slippery Claude is a delicious thought indeed. He needs to be punished, that naughty man.
On a somewhat related note, I was disappointed by the lack of continuity concerning the button that is cut from C’s shirt. In the actual cutting scene, it’s a black button, but when it’s shown later, it’s a white button (trying not to give away too many spoilers). Certainly a minor thing, but any detail concerning RA must be examined closely. Especially as concerns any possible removal of clothing.
