	Paints for parchment/rock, hides, or clothing were made from grinding herbs, flowers and spices. Certain metals like copper, alum, iron and tin were added to some pigments to get specific color combinations and hues. A variety of plants could be used for multiple color dyes depending on the parts that were used. As the Aelotoi made their transition to Elanthia, they began to experiment and find new alternatives to the plants on Bre’Naere to create the vibrant hues we see today in their artwork and clothing.

	On Bre’Naere the pieces from that era are described as crude and primitive, as materials were scarce. Tools to paint, carve or weave were also makeshift and contributed to artwork taking longer to make or not as refined. Within their twenty years now on Elanthia, Aelotoi art has evolved, yet still possesses the same techniques that were established in their home world. Due to these two distinct periods of time that influenced Aelotoi culture and art, the race now uses two terms to describe the different art periods: Keh’dyre and Keh’cyr. Keh’dyre being “art of darkness” from their time on Bre’naere and ~~Keh’dyre~~ meaning “art of light” to describe how their artistry has transitioned.

When it came to textiles, they invented new fabrics and materials to truly embrace their own [[Aelotian style]]. With restrictions of flowers being lifted, many embraced them as a subject and material in many of their designs.

	Weaving is arguably the artform that is used for utility ~~the most from~~ the Aelotoi. Which is why it was an activity that the overseers allowed the Aelotoi to do without disturbance or punishment. Clothing and baskets were the key items produced. Garments were hardly ornamental or fancy back on Bre’Naere, with the main focus being utilitarian and simple.		Weaving is arguably the artform that is most used for utility by the Aelotoi.

	Most baskets and ~~wood~~ items were created from ~~that~~ of the [[Zydris]] ~~trees--~~which depending on the season yielded different hues of ~~barks~~. ~~Towards~~ the end of Charlatos, a delicate outer husk of silvery gold bark can be unraveled from zydrises and used for woven goods or parchment (~~sited~~ from the Zydris documentation).

	The Mrae’ni also adopted a technique of artistry called Kyr tara'adri, which translates to give tiny visions--essentially to give information. Kyr tara'adri is a complex system that uses knots and cords of different colors and lengths to convey information. Each knot and cord represents a specific piece of information, such as ~~numbers~~, ~~names~~, or ~~events~~. The ~~colors~~ of the ~~cords~~ also ~~carry~~ meaning, with each color representing a different category of information.

	For the Aelotoi, the use of Kyr tara’adri allowed them to communicate with each other in secret without arousing suspicion from their Kiramon oppressors.

Oftentimes these items were passed along from the Mrae’ni to other clans to inform them what was happening within the walls of the hive. However, Kyr tara’adri came with risks. If the Kiramon discovered that the Aelotoi were using these trinkets to communicate, they would likely punish them severely. As a result, the Aelotoi had to be extremely careful, ensuring that their messages were encoded in a way that only they could understand. Although code poems were also used to communicate, these bracelets often were smaller and easier to conceal and pass along to others.

	Once in Elanthia, kilns and glazing opened up a whole new world of pottery appreciation from the Aelotoi. The ability to shape clay better with pottery wheels as well as dye it, revolutionized Aelotian pottery. Of course, nature is usually a subject of any Aelotoi art, but as the dragonfly becoming their new symbol of freedom on Elanthia, many works of art are dedicated to the insect.

Wood has long been an important media in Aelotian art. Due to a cultural disposition against gemstones, much of their jewelry, ornamental items, and other decorated works are made of various woods. Similar to Aelotian pottery and weaving, the techniques and styles expanded greatly after the opening of the portal. Once settled on Elanthia, Aelotoi were exposed to an explosion of new materials and techniques, which they took their own unique approach to utilizing.


	~~The makeshift~~ tools ~~they~~ ~~crafted~~ ~~didn’t~~ ~~stop~~ them from ~~creating~~ dishes, utensils, toys, and other trinkets ~~on Bre’Naere~~. Even instruments like flutes were created to play in secret around the campfire at night.		Makeshift tools available to Aelotoi on Bre'Naere didn't prevent them from their use in the crafting of dishes, utensils, toys, and other trinkets. Even instruments like flutes and single reed woodwinds were carved, created to play in secret around the campfire at night.

	Because the Aelotoi didn’t have a lot of fancier items, creating embellishments on the wood pieces by whittling or pyrography, helped add a certain aesthetic to their craftsmanship. Pyrography was achieved by dipping tips of metal tools into an open flame. Then immediately pressing them to the wood.

			Even though the Aelotoi didn’t possess highly valuable items, an artistic and aesthetic desire led to decorating embellishments on their wooden pieces through whittling and pyrography, or decorative burning, done by heating small pieces of metal and using these to burn intricate patterns and shapes.
