soltian:

One did I see | in the wet woods bound,
A lover of ill, | and to Loki like;
By his side does Sigyn | sit, nor is glad
To see her mate: | would you know yet more?

This particular drawing has rendered itself somewhat momentous to me, because at the time that my utterly lovely, patient, saint-like commissioner requested it I was seized with SO MANY visions of how to accomplish it, and drove myself crazy trying to do justice to the mythos of the situation and the very unique relationship between Loki and Sigyn that can be inferred from the glimpses of her we still have. In the end I was struck most deeply by the phrase used to describe Loki as “the burden of Sigyn’s arms”, which brought to mind a very specific sort of temperance and strength not necessarily wrought in muscle, but unwavering loyalty.

So, in honor of that. Loki and Sigyn.

Choices for Sigyn (if you like pink).

* Both shop owners accept layaway.

Sigyn: do you know why they call me the lady of loyal,dear?
Me: because of how you stay at Loki’s side even after he had a hand in killing Baldr and starting Ragnarök.
Sigyn: well yes, but I didn’t do that because I’m a good wife. I did it because I felt like I would betray myself if I let him suffer alone. It is important to stay true your loved ones but most importantly you must be loyal to yourself. Never let others deter you from what you think is right.even if they are your family and friends,and they have the best of intentions. What is right for them may not be right for you. Do you understand?
Me: I think so.

Essential oil-infused sensory dough! Perfect for tactile stimming and for those who enjoy nice scents.

The combination of olfactory and tactile stimming would be quite calming, I think.

so the ones shown here are the “kids” versions – the stuff they aim to help with are more aimed at children (bed wetting, travel sickness)

that website looks like it’s an awesome resource for finding stim toys and stuff… but there’s one major issue: they don’t ship outside australia…

good news is: there are ADULT ones that you can buy CHEAPER and NOT IN AUSTRALIA

((while there is a lot of overlap in the kids’ vs adults’ mohdoh purposes, there are some exclusively adult clays, such as one which helps relieve symptoms of addiction))

you can check out their website to get more information on what each one does, and you can buy it a lot more inexpensively than the listed website if you go on amazon (amazon unfortunately doesn’t seem to have the kids one’s listed if you were more interested in those, but you can find them on mohdoh’s “kids” website or this one has a deal if you get 4)
