Emily's Eclectic Parlour
But before you place your orders, PLEASE read the info below:Hello! Hola! Howdy!
Welcome to my Parlour!
In need of something artsy?
Want something new to read?
Do you like freestyle greetings and letters?
Want something personalised to suit your needs? Maybe a rootin' tootin' description of your character to add to your ency, or a basic banner to add some colour?
Are you happy to consult the services of someone who can write literature and is just starting to get the hang of graphic design?
Then look no further! I am happy to write short poems and design the odd banner here and there based on your suggestions!

OOC Information:
I'm an English w/ Creative Writing student at university who's still very much learning how to improve my works. This helps to serve as good practice to work on my word counts, style, tone, subtext etc. Some of you might be happy with what I write, some of you might wish to see better, but this is why this wee shop is here... It gives you all something to make suggestions and read, and it allows me to collect valuable feedback so I know how to improve
- The same goes for banners - art and design is not my strong suit at all and have no shame if it doesn't get as much recognition on this shop as my literature does. Like my writing, banners and moodboards are made for creative practice but I'm more than happy to provide for those who wish to order all the same
This is also an IC service - what I write shouldn't go beyond this site and shouldn't be taken/stolen/"borrowed" etc. I am willingly taking the time to write/create for you. Yous all have imagination to make your own fun little works and are always encouraged to write your own stuff. If you wish to use any of my works, you are recommended to owl me - I'd be wanting to know what you intend to use it for - I know that sounds harsh, but consider it copyright infringement otherwise. It would be the same if I took ordered and paid for banners without crediting the talented artists who made them. I may be willing to let you use what I produce so long as you give me credit for them (please and thanks).

"Tigress"
You were a little ball of fluff when we met,
As innocent as you were adorable,
Long summer days for sleeping, long dark winters for sleeping,
Then one day you decided to grow with me.
You’d stumble when you’d chase after me
But you always wanted me to keep walking.
Rather than a pet you wanted to be proficient.
Your curiosity opened your mind while I expanded mine,
I have wisdom but you embraced the wild,
Your instincts sharpened, decorated in the hairs of your body and the glint in your eyes.
Your claws are sharp, not dulled by the clippers, only enhanced by ambition to explore.
No matter how far removed you seem
You still carry the future of your family.
Before you prowled for toys,
Now you hunt for the fresh air beside me,
You’re cautious but unafraid,
You survive but you don’t struggle,
Your domestic colours are not theirs,
Though your ancestry blazes in your irises,
It sends electric through the fur you carry,
And gives power to your internal charge.
A tigress in the making,
A tigress who’s bond I share never fading.

Example:

“Viva – La Fleur de la Court”
An angel among royals, a head that needs no crown,
The brightest spot in the room no matter how big the chandelier,
She’s impossible to miss unless unworthy of your gaze,
Her aura alone is a magnet for your attention,
She’ll have stolen your heart before you realise it’s stopped beating.
A sculpted princess that hides behind no façade,
You’ll be lost in her oceanic eyes as she talks about her day,
Her butterfly lashes flit when the attention goes too far,
You’d be scared to touch her at the risk of defiling her porcelain skin,
That’s if you yourself haven’t fallen to pieces under her beautiful dominance.
Purity runs as smooth as her frame, she washes the court away,
A follower of the sunshine carried by the glints in her soft hair,
The only flower to blossom in the hybrid field of royalty,
Her gentle tone silences the court, no one daring to interrupt,
All want a song from her songbird voice.
No louder voice however than her gentle heart,
Her ego spares the boast that she’s sent from above,
An alexandrite jewel choosing to remain inside the glass,
Rather than break free and bloom beyond all magic,
A flower fearing her own potential – saddening modesty.
The court carries on in pretence while she strides towards awakening,
The magic of her innocence brings forth a new generation alongside her,
Behind her is the façade of the faux riche, the daylight leading her back to the wildflowers,
The earth and the stars set her the path, her petals nourished by those who help her grow,
Such is the price of spreading her tender love.

Sorry I was a little late with this one with me being sick and all. Hopefully it was worth the wait...!
