- some new baubleheads depending on occation and whim
...
- and whatever my friends and visitors will contribute!

I wish you all a joyful peaceful Advent time and a daily treat and fun with the calendar thread.

Twins. Two-halves-of-a-whole, polar-opposites, yet forever linked.

Ember and Suntop!

They look at each other so sweetly.

I love the shape and color of their baubles + the bow sticking out!

Drub and young Kahvi!

Lovinbg the reindeer decorations on top!
Also love how Drub is winking at her.

This is why I love the various themes; there are always some inclusions I never would have guessed!

You've showed up in the camp already, Kat. A new baublehead is overdue and the current avatar was tempting!

@Tynami
You've summed up the twins' relationship perfectly, Redhead. And I'm proud that I still can surprise you!

The uneven twins ... Ember will be chieftess of the Wolfriders an Suntop - "I'll be what I'll be!" Both are hard to cage in. ^^ Glad you like it, Wolfie! The artist of KAHVI didn't capture Kahvi too well ... I've needed some extra fun to deal with it.

Pike with his mentor Longbranch!
I like the distance between the baubles.
Love Longbranch small smile and calm look

Beautiful bauble of Nonna and Adar!
It looks antique! It looks old as if you found it from long ago! I really like it!

Love this little gal so much!!! EEEEK! Thank you       

Would comment more over here, but the AIs have taken over my free time. The good news is I finally filled in all the holes in the top of the post. The bad news is it just hit me it's Dec 4th, ACK! I need to get my lights up, my tree... plus I totally forgot my sprite calendar cause of my real calendars (Disney Doorables this year, hehe). Planning on posting those to my tiktok. Hopefully I'll catch up the sprites on Wed.

Oh oh oh oh oh! I just swam in here at the right time: It`s Haky and Timmain! Yeah!
Opponents!

Haken and Timmain!
Looking very intense!
Love the star shape baubles!

Tha hands of the symbolmaker ... Nonna got Talent! I was surprised, how well the bauble and the motive merged and formed a perspective. Star shapes for the Firstcomers from the stars, Wolfie! ... and as Skywise is from the stars now ...

@wolfmoonsky 

It's fine to be a silent lurker, Kat *hugs and kisses* ... and I know too well how easy you can be swept away by a new plaything! Lurking it your thread I learn how tempting this AI art maker can be. I still prefer the old fashioned way and your little Tyfish insisted on this light and translucent water realm. ^^
Good luck with your old calendars and christmassy plans.

I've wondered whether you'll hear Haken's call, Yeee ... - no doubt that you would resond! ^^ He and Timmain are opponents, even enemies, but that's not the only reason vor them to be in the calendar. I could have chosen a picture of the two fighting each other - instead I've tried to point to their different reaction to this cruel new world. Haken found his strength in hate, fought cruelty with worse cruelty and decided to fight this world at any cost. Timmain followed a path of acceptance and cooperation, tried to become part of this world and survive within its rules. Her powers were fueled by love (at least in this beginning).

Just in case you wish for a new baublehead - choosing another avatar might help! ^^

Ugh, Bone Woman, she is drawn gorgeously ugly. And her bauble looks like a very ugly baby´s rattle or as one of a shaman, lol.

Oh my, you want to make another baublyeee? THAAAAANX, EEK ! And since you started my favourite elves with Haken I have a certain image of Yeee in mind (when she dates him
I so have to search for it...

regarding Haken and Timmain-baubles:
Of course you put a lot more thought into your pictures than my shallow comment would ever allow. Once again, I don't have time for anything and just wanted to say a quick hello and give some nice feedback. But it wasn't really appreciative, as it should have been.
Yes of course, they were opponents at first and then they became enemies. I think after all this time, if he survived anywhere, he'd probably be just as crazy resentful and fuming as Winnie.

Bone Woman and Olbar!
I agree with everything Yee said!
I love Olbar his bauble. One of my favorite humans!

I love it, Embala! thank you

Beautiful baubles so far... getting major nemesis vibes

Just a quick drop off

Awww... a cute Helping Elf! Such a sweet and helpful visitor, Kat!

Skywise has seen this star and claimed it as his seasonal home.  I'm glad you like it, Wolfie
Bonewoman is not amused indeed - and not nice at all. Her reaction to the Elves and change was hate again. But Olbar ... he showed curiosity, interest and developement. He finally made friends - or at least found allies.

Hello and a nice feedback are always fine, Yeee and very welcome. But with themes like this I love to share my own thoughts and tend to get talkative. I appreciate your comments the way they are!

Lovely baubles!






And that reminds me...

Greymung and Picknose!
Nice looking baubles!

Beautiful big bauble!
I love what you did with the other half of the bauble!

Lovely redcap, Redhead!

I like the developemt Picknoce achieved. From Greymung's minion, seemingly dumb and cowardly, he turned into a fighter, braving the sunlight and gaining his own kingdom.
The big bauble is tor Moonshade, the talented tanner and dressmaker, Wolfie. Actually I've found a bauble with a Christmassy motive - and added the Wolfrider cave. ^^

Ooo! We have duo's this year! Two baubles instead of one makes for a fun time! There are so many good duos in elfquest and so many "bad" ones too. i especially like day 2, although I've forgotten names.

It's nice to see the festivities going! I still need to decorate my house. Only the Christmas gnomes have come out and they've been no help at all.

Not sure who that is...

Are these some of the 'high ones' from two spears time?

Loving the new baubles!

Suntoucher and Scouter!
I wonder why you pared them up together?
