Another excerpt from Periodic Companions. This one is a pretty good illustration of how the text and images work together. Laynie’s characters are personifications of chemical elements and their personalities are shaped by the qualities of their corresponding elements. The drawings are just schoolgirls. Well, not just, maybe elements of the periodic table appear as Edwardian schoolgirls, if seen under certain light or from a certain angle. I’m not a scientist so can’t say for sure.
Loving this series! Especially the drawings with text. Oddly, there is a Facebook game about finding an element that you are most like. According to its metrics, I am helium. Light but not volitile. Stable. And I make people talk funny.
