Heroes always get remembered
But you know legends never die
With such a wondrously crafty event coming up this season, Bastien had immediately jumped into the spirit of it. Not only did he enjoy the idea of creative projects, it was a way to channel his grief for Rexanna, especially with the lantern he would make later in the season (he couldn't quite manage it yet, but he swore to himself he'd do make it before all the leaves were gone from the trees); he had begun to sketch ideas for his doll of Ludo right away.
What he ended up with was an idea for a large doll, perhaps the size of a small child. A mask, carved and painted, on the top, resting on a body of stuffed cloth that would be covered with beautifully embroidered black fabrics and tendrils, perhaps the occasional bead in the shape of a skull hanging down throughout the layers. It would be a lot of work, which was the plan: it would keep him busy.
The Artist's Sanctuary door once again open for visitors after it's time shut during illness and grief, he sat and worked on the first piece of embroidery, humming along to something simple playing on the thought player. Early morning was just beginning to show itself so the music was quiet, but there was a distinctly jovial mood in the studio, contrasting to Bastien's sombre work.

Welcome to my world of fun
