St. Michael slaying the devil…

This is by no means to be taken seriously.

First, the actual picture. Then the caricature.

I can sit here and knit or use my laptop or read to my kids or talk to the red-bearded wonder while the night breeze blows past me.

It’s my favorite place ever.

Either one. Take your pick.

This isn’t my favorite, but she’ll do.
She’s the Abby Sciutto of the gamer world.
Meet Violet from Cell Damage.

Day 10, today, is favorite candy.
Likewise, I rarely eat candy. I do, however, occasionally eat a few dark chocolate chips.
Excuse the crappy out of focus cell-phone picture.

I recently completed the knitting of this lace Haruni shawl with glass bead accents. I sent it to Jay (the Red-bearded Wonder)’s mother for Passover, as a thank-you gift.

They adopted him at birth. Nobody forced them to take him in. And he is a good man, partly from having had good (and willing) parents. I think if you’re appreciative of something, you should say so… and this was my way of saying it.

So I did this one first. It isn’t finished, have to lay in some background.

Then I did this one. I like how the “hard” of the cross done in stone is balanced by the “Gothic, Roccoco” curliques.

Mike had existing tattoos.  He wanted a sort of parade of skulls in between the figures he had already.  He’s coming back in 2 weeks for an additional 2 skulls, behind and slightly below the largest one.  I drew this design freehand:

And tattooed it in black and grayscale:
