Huge thanks to Maya and Equity for the original theme idea and variables, and to Daggy for giving me the permission to take the theme's concept as my own. Also, thank you to the following people for their wonderful extras:
The part of Full Site Editing that I found the most exciting was the theme.json file for adding Global Styles. It makes adding a palette of colors or font sizes or block styles simple to accomplish. Customizing a palette for theme colors and adding font sizes to a theme was fairly difficult before, requiring knowledge of PHP.
The other thing that seemed a bit awkward to me at first is how to navigate the Site Editor. And I still think there should be a quicker way to get back to the Dashboard than to use the Site Editor back arrows through several screens.

Rolls-Royce debuted its first Droptail commission during Monterey Car Week, the floral-themed La Rose Noire. Not seven days later, the second Droptail took to the alpine stage in Gstaad, Switzerland, commissioned by a client wishing to celebrate his gem business, his home region, and his son. This one's called the Amethyst Droptail, the quartz crystal chosen for being the son's birthstone. The International Gem Society says February's gem ranges "from pale lilac to deep reddish purple," a symbol of royalty as well as "spirituality, mental clarity, and healing." We're also told the vivid stones are generally more valuable and desirable than the pale stones, hence the intense colors on the Amethyst Droptail.
There's another lilac connection in the Globe Amaranth flower native to Guatemala, Panama and Brazil, but grown all over the world. Rolls-Royce said this amaranth "blooms in the desert near one of the client's homes."
The roadster starts with the soft purple body color dubbed Globe Amaranth and flecked with aluminum, contrasted with deep purple Amethyst paint swirled with a blend of red, blue, and violet mica flakes. Carbon fiber sections around the hem of the car display book-matched chevron patterns and are finished with Amethyst-tinted lacquer. More contrast shows in mauve accents painted inside the 22-inch wheel spokes.
The brightwork's seen a great deal of attention. There are two finishes on the vanes of the Pantheon grill, each thin leading edge polished to a shine, the broadsides being brushed. The 3D-printed composite lower grille is affixed with 202 stainless steel ingots hand-painted in Globe Amaranth. Above that, a ring of rounded (as opposed to faceted) and polished amethyst surrounds the Spirit of Ecstasy when she appears. The stone's been finished into a shape referred to as a cabochon, generally featuring a convex upper surface and flat underside, and engraved with the word "Droptail."
The interior is designed around the commissioning client's choice of Calamander Light wood, which features long bands of varying tones. Lighter bands decided the hue of the Sand Dunes leather on the seat bolsters framing the Amethyst leather centers. There are more amethyst cabochons laid around the gauges in the instrument cluster. The electrochromic glass panel in the detachable roof is tinged with purple when opaque, resolving into a caramel-ish hue that matches the Sand Dunes leather when the roof is translucent.
As with the La Rose Noire, there's another watch centerpiece in the instrument panel here. This one's a custom commission from Swiss watchmaker Vacheron Constantin known as the "Les Cabinotiers Armillary Tourbillon." Same as with the Audemars Piguet timepiece in the first Droptail, Rolls-Royce worked with Vacheron Constantin to harmonize the colors and materials between car and watch. This one doesn't disappear behind medieval doors, though, always being on display in a white-gold baseplate sculpted with a sunburst guilloch pattern.

Popular Bookstagrammer, The Guy With The Books once advised to find the Golden Hour in your city. I can attest that natural light is the best to shoot with. For example, In Yola from 8-10am has perfect sunlight. 12-2pm gives extremely bright sunlight and I had to battle with shadows of props, window stills in the picture. Lagos is darker so mid mornings are my best time. In Abuja 9-10am and an hour before sun down works for my selfies and book photos.
This is a creative literary blog. I feature reviews of online fiction, ebooks and share my own stories. I know the struggle to share beautiful images for ebooks or online fiction. My advice is that you get another phone. Not necessarily a new one, maybe for a friend or sibling or your old one.
Apply all the advice and hacks above also. I usually use pictures of flowers or my write pads as images for my stories. Many creative writing bloggers just download images from Unsplash or use animated avatars. Choose what is convenient and fits your theme.

In terms of other decorations, I love these purple ribbon streamers but you could also opt for paper pompoms, pinwheels, hanging paper lanterns or honeycomb balls in your choice of colours. Stationery could be as simple as plain cards and papers with amethyst ink or there could be colour co-ordinated watercolour paintings, printed patterns or sweet motifs.
