Day 105 - CS Day 28 - Cicada Greetings

"Call someone you haven't spoken to in a long time.Tell them what you are doing and ask them to give you an assignment for what to make today."

Cicada Greeting Card

I haven't spoken to my friend Moth in ages (beyond a quick "how are you, are you still alive?")

She lives across the pond and our schedules are difficult to coordinate.

When asked to give me a bug-related assignment for today, Moth commanded:

"CICADA!"

So here is a periodical cicada made of colored paper,

specifically chosen so I could use Moth's favorite wine red color.

Also wik origami paper and gold ink on a 3" x 3" card,

ready to mail and greet distant shores.

Bumbles says hello.

Day 6 - Lizard

The drawing of this lizard was interrupted by errands today but luckily I remembered to come back to it. The hubs walked in while I was working on it and said " ugh " (and actually flicked out his tongue much like a lizard)...which I suppose means that it looks real enough ;) ~January 6, 2022~ The Gallery for this Draw Something ( anything! ) Daily Challenge can be seen HERE

The Heian Book Report

I've started re-reading my Heian-era Japanese Literature books (all English translations) and thought I'd write a few thoughts about each while it's fresh in my mind. I started with Hojoki and Tsurezuregusa . So, this is just my announcement, you can read a bit more about my Heian Obsession here and I will post all of the book reports to this page .

Maceo

Last night I lost my beloved Maceo. I've had him since he was six weeks old and he just turned 17 on April 1st. I miss him dearly already. Rest well sweet boy.
