Two Headed Calf - Tumblr Posts
“And as he stares into the sky... there are twice as many stars as usual.” <3
I wonder if Melora reads that one comic about the two headed calf and cries.
She may not see twice as stars as usual, but she sure bleeds twice as much as anyone else she knows.
being a girl means feeling very deeply about this calf
Whatever you go through, I do, too

Two-Headed Calf
by Laura Gilpin
Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap his body in newspaper and carry him to the museum.
But tonight he is alive and in the north field with his mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising over the orchard, the wind in the grass. And as he stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual.
There are twice as many stars as usual
i thought this was fitting
Two-Headed Calf inspired nails!!

Details:
The thumbs are 3d nail art of the calf and his mother.
Index fingers are of the orchard and a barn to hint to the farm boys (plus the moon above the orchard)
Middle finger has gold silhouettes of the calf and his mother under the sky (which has two stars littered around)
Ring finger is a close up of the grass and swaying weeds and flowers (reference to wind in the grass)
Pinkie finger is of gold leaves and two stars (overall tie in the design with gold elements and hints to the line: ‘there are twice as many stars as usual’)

I had so much fun making these nails!! Took a little over 6hrs tho lol
Just smth about nails looking like tiny paintings framed in gold that makes me wanna display them. And wearing literal art feels so nice 💕💕
