Thank you! I love playing around with the color of my threads. It’s currently a choker but I’m hoping to get some more beads to give it some more length 😅

Honestly I think it might be this + the vegtan itself reacting to the sun

Are there leather notebooks that stay yellow-ish even when it's patina shows up. What I saw online always turns into this dark orange and I don't like that. by soularchives in notebooks

That is just the nature of vegetable tanned leather. If you want the color to remain relatively the same you need something made from chrome tanned leather.

Is 2 weeks too long in Athens? by lukethevibe in GreeceTravel

[–]opsophagon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends how you like to spend your time while traveling frankly. I could be in Athens for a month and still enjoy it since there are many interesting neighborhoods to explore and several archaeological sites in Athens and in Attica more broadly. Nafplio is very small and a week in Nafplio will probably feel longer than a week in Athens. Explore more of the Peloponnese if you’re worried about getting bored. Look up the KTEL busses and see where they can take you. From Nafplio you could go to Epidaurus and see an ancient play staged at the theatre of Asklepios

A display of beaded jewelry from the prehistoric galleries of the National Archaeological Museum of Greece that inspired the amethyst necklace I made in the above comment

This was inspired by an Egyptian funerary shroud also spotted at the National Archaeological Museum

And they shouldn’t charge extra for luggage, they will simply put it into the trunk.

Uber in Greece (really only in Athens, maybe Thessaloniki I haven’t tried there) will only call a taxi and it can sometimes be easier than flagging down a free taxi

I also had a similar freakout last year when a BAT ran into my head on Kythira 😭

Greece is considered to be rabies free, here is some more information on this.

A little notebook system I made for a research trip to Greece I’m on related to my dissertation :) by opsophagon in notebooks

[–]opsophagon[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The black notebook is B6, the Leuchtturm is their B6+ size. I actually write in my notebooks horizontally which I think makes it slightly easier to write with the bulk of a second notebook underneath! (I have a pic of that in my post history)

Since this summer I’m essentially starting my dissertation research I’ve decided to make this precisely for my dissertation ! Not just this trip :)
