A pole dancer surrounded by constellations that intertwine between her arms and the ghostly ones behind her back.
My first illustration for @characterdesign.bsky.social 's challenge!
She's a dear friend of mine during her first pole dance recital, playing as Astraeus (Titan of the planets and constellations).
I'm so proud of her 💙

#Astraeus hygrometricus (Barometer #Earthstar). The rays on these stay closed in drier weather, opening up only when exposed to heavy moisture. I think I found a few 😅

a mushroom shaped like a puffball at the center of a star, with 3 of the star’s points folded over a pine needle as if it’s holding on for life
who else are we fighting for?
hygroscopic earthstars clinging to pine needles like ectomycorrhizal gymnasts
or
frightened sea stars

The old Ixchel. It is a blue circular yoke sweater with a dense pattern of yellow stars and a central band of moon phases. It is lying on a cream blanket with the front side showing. You can see where the armholes would be and there is about about 3” of work completed beyond that. It is no more - now a giant blue yarn ball and a pile of yellow wool noodles.
The start of the Astraeus sweater. It is basically a neck hole and about 4-5” of work laid out in a circle. It is the same blue yarn as used in the Ixchel, but the stars are less densely arranged and now in a more subtle silvery grey colour.
A closer view of the new jumper showing the star pattern, it’s a bit scrunched up as my bigger knitting cable is on another project, but nevermind.
🧶 News - The #Ixchel is frogged.
I think I whined mostly on Threads but I hated all of it, and the straw was discovering that the blue was running into the yellow.
So I have started an #Astraeus instead, with a silver grey accent yarn. Already a 1000 times happier with it 😁

Ships that pass, in the Sound of #Jura, heading South. Aries wind-vane to left steering to wind like an extra crew member. We call it #Astraeus , who in #mythology fathered the #Anemoi (the Winds).

I wonder if #Astraeus would get more traction?
Amazing images though 🙂👍
