Idle Talons

Throwback Thursday

fun, musingsLarkin HamiltonComment

Are you watching Heartstopper on Netflix? Larkin introduced our family to the series when it was still a
webcomic and we were all hooked! When the books were released Larkin was 14, and they had the opportunity to meet the author (Alice Oseman) at a signing!

Larkin made this charm necklace as a fan gift (out of copper! This was before Larkin had largely transitioned into silver work). The leaves, hearts and stars are the interstitial doodles the author uses around frames and between chapters, translated into wire.

Larkin was *so* self-conscious about the gift, but at the end of the day they were convinced to hand the necklace over (and then run away blushing madly!).

The TV series really has captured the feel of the original stories. This is an almost impossibly sweet
coming-of-age/romance/coming out story. Highly recommended if you need more warm fuzzies in your
life.
