119 years ago, on the 9th of February 1907, the Mud March, officially the United Procession of Women, took place in London. More than 3000 women marched from Hyde Park Corner to the Strand in support of women's suffrage. It was the largest public demonstration for the cause yet. #otd #history 🗃️

The animals are painted in watercolours.
The gold is Schmincke Aqua Bronze. This can be tricky to work with but really elevates everything.

Snowdrops are not indigenous to Britain, & likely introduced around the 1500s, but now fully naturalised
They likely began their life here in monastery herb gardens, perhaps used medicinally
They have long been linked to celebrating light's victory over darkness

Happy #NationalHedgehogDay 🥺
This little Egyptian faience model of a hedgehog is from a tomb at Abydos, and was made around 1,500–1,300 BCE.
Hedgehogs had a favourable reputation in ancient Egypt, and were often seen as a symbol of rebirth and renewal of life.

I was reading about the hygienic habits of medieval animal people and I found this. It seems they took baths more often than we think and usually in groups. It was a social moment. And look, they seemed to care about their fur and wanted it free of parasites 🪲🚫
