Welcome to Birds and Stars! This place will always be changing, for as long as I can work on it. Here you'll find my art as well as collections of comforting and nostalgic things that make me feel happy and at peace. ♥ We are freely hosted on neocities, part of the Mental Heal Circle, and also affiliated with The Princess Chateau.
You may call me Lala, although my real name is Lamees (lam as in lamb, ees as in fleece)! You can read about me here. I'd love it if you'd sign my Guestbook when you're done! ♥
My brother gifted me the cute little sheep that wander along the bottom of this page! Here is his website. ♥ More credits down here!

Updates:

28, January, 2025 I finally updated the Shoujo Wardrobes as I've been meaning to for a while! I've made a new page, to reduce loading time, and also adjusted the images so they don't look quite so messy... I want to work on Shoujo Bedrooms next. ^^ Or maybe Recommendations...
21, January, 2025 I added a link to some (very old) manga technique tutorials from Deleter Club... they're for manga artists working traditionally, but there's also useful tips for drawing in general that can help any artist, like tutorials on basic concepts like shapes and shading.
19, January, 2025 I'm glad to hear the Shoujo Wardrobe's helped inspire outfits. ^^ I've been wanting to make a drag-and-drop game like my old dress-up games... much like the one I made a teenager, I tried to repurpose old art and thought of using the pixel art I made of Shootie (Trip), Lillie, and Iris! I wound up getting carried away and animated alternative expressions and poses... much of the day was spent drawing and coding. It was a lot of fun! Enjoy the Dollhouse. They are very small and a bit fiddly to move around, I apologize, but with a little patience, you can make some fun scenes! I'll probably add more with time. ^^ I didn't feel like drawing any backgrounds, so reused glitter scenes from SayClub or CyWorld!
17, January, 2025 I added a new Link, I also added Marnie's dollhouse to the Dolls in Media, and cleaned up some broken code in the Old Updates, as well as a graphic, to liven up the page. ^^ I mostly worked on these yesterday, so consider this a late entry!
16, January, 2025 I'm sorry for the slow updates, but I do want you all to know I read your guestbook messages and I do have updates planned! ^^ I have watched an episode of Sandybell on TV (Arabic-dubbed) and loved it, but never watched it all the way! I really do like those plucky orphan (or orphaned of one parent...) stories popular in old shoujo. Idol Densetsu Eriko which I'm now more than halfway through is a similar show, also with a little blonde pigtailed girl thrust into trial after trial, both even have a similar relative-with-amnesia plotline (keeping spoilers to a minimum), but keeping a cheerful spirit as much as possible... it's an idol series, though, and set in a modern (for the 80's) time period. ^^ I do have another show I want to add to recommendations, but I haven't quite finished it yet... it's a very sweet and innocent show like Memole, though, almost like a modern spiritual successor. A Little Snow Fairy Sugar! I'll be working on the recommendation soon. ♥

Older updates archived here.
The pretty wallpapers (background images) decorating this place mostly come from cherish.silk.to (now defunct), mooncat.official.jp, and foollovers.com... sometimes, there are bunnies hiding here and there, but they're very shy and tend to hide if you tap them! They come from Catch a Star. I try to link sources whenever they're known, but some of the very old web graphics come from defunct websites... I mention them if I know them in the alt tags or link to archived versions if they exist, otherwise, they're unfortunately unknown (especially if I found them somewhere like glitter-graphics.com) and lost to time! Do tell me if you recognize any.
