Sarah’s Last Post … Jongleurs

A jongleur was very similar to a medieval minstrel or troubadour. While minstrels were commonly employed as household servants by wealthy families,

Jongleurs were itinerant entertainers who could be hired to sing, recite verses, do magic tricks, or juggle for an evening's entertainment. Jongleurs were also criticized by the Church as being “agents of the devil” because of their association to profane language and fart jokes!

Please meet Tomi & Timi - two very sturdy acrobat/jongleurs who’ve come to Venice to be part of Carnivale.

I really enjoyed painting these two 3D prints found on MyMiniFactory.

I particularly enjoyed this blue/yellow colour palette! Truthfully.

I was a quite daunted of the flaming torch. I asked Curt for a quick tutorial, promptly disregarded his painstaking explanation of the ‘flame formula”, made a complete mess of it and then asked Curt for help with completion.

Yay! Curt ❤️

As my last post of the Challenge, I’ll take this opportunity to thank the Sunday Team for ‘showing up’ and ‘showing off’ their wonderfully varied and fabulously painted toy soldiers. Well done sirs! I also want to thank Greg for minioning my posts - thank you so much!

Personally, this Challenge has not been as I had hoped. I was planning to explore more of the Dante theme as well as paint more of my Carnival Project … and maybe, just maybe achieve my target. Nonetheless, there’s always next year … right?

Be Kind, Be Safe

Early morning walk with Huckleberry in the park & stopped to admire the rime frost on the trees - Magical

What a treat that I get to Minion your last post Sarah!

Tomi & Timi seem like a high energy pair. I can see them being somewhat amusing at the start of the evening, wearing thin at the end of the banquet, and positively irritating when suffering a hangover the next day! You've a done job with their bright attire...which would also be annoying 'the morning after'. I agree, the pastels work really well broken up with the bone/ivory/white like that

Its been wonderful to watch your Challenge progress and if you find that you've painted totally different things at the end to what you planned at the start...you're doing it just like everyone else! And if you had fun along the way anyway, then you're doing it right :-) I hope you'll be back again next year!

PS Hucklebury looks rather unimpressed with all that snow! 'Can we go home now Mum?' You've had your walk
