I’ve returned – with an armful of Les Amis & co as flower fae, inspired by the works of Cicely Mary Barker. Thanks @decayingliberty​ for the idea!!

Batch 1 includes: 
Enjolras (echinacea/coneflower – strength & justice
Grantaire (saffron – mirth & excess
Combeferre (pansy – loyalty & thought)
Courfeyrac (coreopsis – always cheerful)

WOW what a blast of nostalgia– I recognized the Barker homage right away, these are so well done! (and I especially appreciate that Enjolras really does look like a flower!)

“He read everything, went to the theatres, attended the courses of public lecturers, learned the polarization of light from Arago, grew enthusiastic over a lesson in which Geoffrey Sainte-Hilaire explained the double function of the external carotid artery, and the internal, the one which makes the face, and the one which makes the brain; he kept up with what was going on, followed science step by step, compared Saint-Simon with Fourier, deciphered hieroglyphics, broke the pebble which he found and reasoned on geology, drew from memory a silkworm moth, pointed out the faulty French in the Dictionary of the Academy, studied Puysegur and Deleuze, affirmed nothing, not even miracles; denied nothing, not even ghosts; turned over the files of the Moniteur, reflected.”

– Les Misérables about Combeferre

Here’s some Combeferre, who I love, featuring Victor Hugo and the 18 comma, 3 semicolon sentence. The pictures around him are his tattoos
