My friend Tim Young is an artist. He just posted this wonderful colored pencil drawing he did of golfish, and I longed for it. I remember that he had started a needle felting class, and I had some colored roving I wasn't using, so I proposed a trade. Woohoo! Thr happy yellow fish are now swimming in my house! Monday, I will take them out and find them a nice mat to bring out those luscious aqueous colors. Fish are sort of totem. I'm a Pisces, with Pices as my moon sign as well.. The e-mail is flyingfish3. And my motto, when frustrated by the world is, '"March to a different drummer? But I'm a fish!"Meanwhile, I just got my collection of Agatha Hetrodyne - Girl Genius graphic novels, and I have been in a steampunk world for hours. Great fun!
Good exchange!
ReplyDeleteBoiled beer - yuk. Hot buttered rum is so much better!
So that's where your email address came from!
ReplyDeleteI have your mat cutter up here, just pining away to be used. If you are available tomorrow then maybe I can bring it down to you. LOVE the goldfish picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat trade-off! I love art work from people I know!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture--and I LOVE your motto!
ReplyDeleteI had a truck with a bumper sticker in colllege that said "Marching to the beat of a different kettle of fish". Miss that truck :)
