Welcome!

Welcome to my corner of the web! I'm a PhD student in Classics and this space is primarily (but not entirely) for sharing some of the exciting Classics-related projects that I work on.

I spend a lot of my time working on various fiber arts, and you'll find some documentation of that over at Textiles. I can especially recommend you poke around on the weaving/spinning tab since I have a bunch of pages there are the my ancient and modern style weaving and spinning activities.

In addition to strings of fiber, I like to play the strings of the ancient Greek lyre some times. You can find more about that over at Music.

On the Latin and Greek side of things, I believe strongly on the utility of the facing notes/vocab intermeidate commentary. Over at Commentaries you can find my own co-written commentary on the Greek text Batrachomyomachia (Battle of Frogs and Mice) and the masterlist I maintain.

Book Reports may look the most academic here, but it's actually the least! Over there I share my thoughts on the English novels I like to read in my free time, mostly fantasy (plus some comics and webcomics).

I don't do much of it these days, but I am also a fan of visual art (drawing and painting, digitally and traditionall). All of the headers on this site are made by me. My non-fiber instagram, @bella_quill, is for posting my art (when I get around to making any)

If you're interested in any of this stuff (on a casual level or an academic level) please do reach out, either through any of my socials listed on the sidebar, or through the Contact Me button (email).
