There was a hideous little junker truck in the early 2000's in Manassas, VA. It was rusty, weirdly shaped, and looked like it had been designed as background for Fallout: Northern Virginia. It had a sign on the back that said, "The Ugly Truckling" and it was the cutest lil guy in car form ever.

During Carney's Halloween hen party, they bobbed for apples, tried to catch an apple hung from a doorframe on a string and snapped apples for each other. Then they counted the seeds (start over if you have more than 12!) for the boy or girl their friend gave them.

How do you snap an apple? I cannot figure it out. Snap off the stem? But then how do you see how many seeds there are? Tear the apple in two? Are these girls Wonder Woman? Who knows the scoop?

EDIT! You do not need to be Wonder Woman to snap an apple in half!

I've never heard of bridal crowns, they look so cool. Can you explain or give some resources about them or how to draw them? Please and thank you!

Thank you for your questions! I would never miss an opportunity to talk about bridal crowns lol.

So, bridal crowns are exactly what it sounds like - it’s crowns brides wear on their wedding day. This cultural tradition is seen all over the world; Asia, Africa, Europe, etc. It is said that the tradition in Europes stems as far back at the 6th century, but I can’t confirm that. Bridal crowns were used as a sign of the woman’s virginity. Bridal crowns are used today, but they are more mordern, like this;

But I am going to talk more about the "old-styled" bridal crowns/cultural bridal crowns from Norway.

Norway has an insanely rich history with bridal crowns. The tradition most likely started around the 16/17th hundreds. Non-virgin, pregnant or widowed women were not allowed to wear a bridal crown, but in some places where this was allowed, a cloth was placed on the head before putting on the crown, so the crown wasn’t touching the womans head.

Norwegian bridal crowns were and are usually made of gold or silver. But some bridal crowns were and are made from pearls, feathers, or other materials, or a combination:

There exist many different local bridal crowns around Norway that is unique in the style. We have everything from crowns to hats. And some I’m unable to explain good in English:

Bridal crowns were usually a family heirloom, but as time went on, some towns had one bridal crowns that could be lend out to the bride. But as the world become more modern, the tradition of the birdal crown died out and most of Norway adopted the western white wedding dress and dropped the crown (Norwegian bridal wear was usually just the folkclothing of the area, just a bit different with more silver attached):

Today, most bridal crowns are kept in museums or other historical/cultural buildings. While the bridal crown tradition had died out, there’s still multiple Norwegians who gets married in one. There’s many museums and husflids that lend out bridal crowns for weddings. And many husflids still try to keep the tradition alive by making content of bridal crowns;

As for the drawing part, I just study photos of the bridal crowns. There’s multiple photos of these bridal crowns on Digitalmuseum, or I simply just search ‘Norwegian bridal crown’ on Google and Pinterest and go from there.

Again thanks for the ask!! :)
