prettygoodwordtessitura (tes-i-TOOR-uh, tes-see-TOO-rah) - n., the average range of a vocal or instrumental part in a musical composition; the most comfortable range for a singer or musical instrument, in which they/it present their/its best-sounding timbre.
General dictionaries only mention the former, but musical glossaries focus on the latter, which is the sense I learned. Taken in the 1890s from Italian, literally meaning texture, from Latin textūra, texture, from the same root as texere, to weave.

Feb. 11th, 2026 10:44 amsisterdivinium posting in halfamoonThese zines I made a few weeks ago of Urs exploring photography post-s1, now uninhibited by whatever associations she had to the activity, seemed like a nice way to interpret "the explorer" as a theme :)

Day 11 Theme - The Explorer
Feb. 11th, 2026 06:32 amcmk418 posting in halfamoonToday's theme is The Explorer.
Here are some ideas to get you started: She's a fearless go-getter, maybe not necessarily going where no one has gone before, but definitely heading to some place or in some venture that she hasn't taken part in yet. What new territory is she exploring? How does she feel when she's stuck in the same place or situation for too long?
Just go wherever the Muse takes you. If this prompt doesn't speak to you, feel free to share something that does. You can post in a separate entry or as a comment to this post.
Want to get a jump start on tomorrow's theme? Check out the prompt list in the pinned post at the top of the page. Please don't post until that day.
