My Entry fits the theme because: Winter activities in Milos are heavily influenced by the seasonal dwindling of daylight hours. It affects their daily work and shifts community activity from a time of primarily outdoor labor to a time of primarily indoor reflection and recuperation. Holiday decor in Milos tends to include a mix of silver for the "outdoor" light of winter ~ the moon and stars ~ and gold for the "indoor" light of winter ~ candles, hearth, home.

(Apologies for the horrible photo - my phone doesn't like the metallic shine. >.<)

Entry: (Colors, personal craft #2) Wine (Purplish Red) and Gold Wristcuff
http://i.imgur.com/TFFffsp.jpg

My Entry fits the theme because: At community holiday gatherings in Milos, it is customary to wear the colors of your trade. For winemakers, this is a vivid wine-colored purplish red. Sometimes a family will have members from several trades, so their garb will include other colors as well. In this example, a simple woven (*cough*crocheted) wristcuff reflects one particular family's purplish red for winemaking and gold for grain (farming).

Belly pulled out the yarn!! I'm glad you did :D I can't believe you made that so fast O/O It's beautiful!

BellyButton 12-24-2014 11:10 PM

Haha, I had to. Thanks Maria! [glomp]

salvete 12-24-2014 11:12 PM

That is gorgeous as well *o*

My Entry fits the theme because:
It goes with both the pastoral and Roman elements of Milos. The green color and branch form is representative of the residents' connection to nature.

My Entry fits the theme because: Stained Glass viewed from the Roman Catholic St. Vitus Cathedral, the architectural style is Gothic, which I feel you would see walking down the streets of Milos... I only wish I could find a better picture of the color!

I'm filling in for Cora tonight. Day 2 is official over! Please stand by while I change things over to day 3.

My Entry fits the theme because: I found two images and mushed them in one. These are traditional clothing worn during times of celebration. Both men and women wear flowing garments as sign of a time of leisure, as flowing clothing would get in the way of working in fields. The rich purples and reds for the vineyards, the gold for the grain fields, and island wealth. ((These are also traditional Phoenician clothing. I was going to do a whole Phoenician theme but I missed day one and two))

My Entry fits the theme because: This elegantly cut gem encrusted dress eludes to a dragon scale texture and reminds me of the opulence of Dainae.
