hat_plays_simsThe Parsimonious Dora Dulce wall mirror by K8 comes in 20 Pooklet Project Mayhem naturals over a slice of the original textures (the bit around the mirror itself) and some elaborate chip-carved wood I had in my texture stash.
This is actually a good-sized mirror well-displayed for the Middle Ages-- chip carving was a Thing (most wood carving was, but chip carving was popular on home goods), and the mirror itself is just about big enough to see your whole face in at once. Mirrors for most of history were highly-polished chunks of metal, and in Medieval Europe, an eight-inch mirror was BIG. I can't recall if this is an authentic Medieval chip-carving design, but it's got that overlapping-circles thing that was just hugely popular, so if it's not authentic I'm at least going to say a Medieval person would've paid good money to have this design carved on something they owned.
This mirror is at its best from the front, as I legitimately could not figure out what bits of the UV map went where (and some of it overlaps in odd ways) and it just looked weird if I tried to continue a straight pattern. It still looks okay from the sides, just not as cohesive.
I may have repriced this? I think I sorted the prices of my Deco/Mirrors section by how much glass was in them... Well, if I did, you can always go grab the original mesh straight from Parsimonious.

In case you feel like dropping me a buck or two, should you have a buck or two to spare. I don't do pay content and I can't seem to get requests done in a timely fashion, so donors get a link to the Super Secret Cat Gallery (you help feed my cats, you get to see lots and lots of pictures of my cats) and my to-do list Google doc, in case there's anything on there that makes a donor go 'oooh, when are you working on that one?'
