When I came up with the idea for this, I shared it with a friend and mentioned that I would probably swap the genders. They asked me why must the girl always be the aggressor in my papercuts, and that certainly sometime in my past I was the one who played that role. That is very true.
To anyone I ever dropped metaphorical spiders on, I’m sorry I was a jerk. I hope we are friends now.
If we aren’t, we should be.

I haven’t posted in a long time due to many things. I was tearing pages out of the 1940’s dictionary again and came up with this when I read the definition for ‘rustle’.
There you go. I’ll have a more normal post later this week.
I’m in the middle of finishing up a larger papercut and a bigger sized design to cut at a later date and I felt like it had been too long since I posted anything. Since I might not for a little bit, I dug around for something worthwhile…
I mentioned that I have anywhere from 150-200 crappy 78’s that I ended up with one way or another and that I was going to start using them as backgrounds instead of wood. I’ve tried it out with 4. Here is one of them.
The one I made of the Ostara cut for the equinox last week turned out the best, but I thought it would be boring to post the same image twice. I also discovered with the one that I made from the Black Arches cut that they break quite easily.
Happy Ēostre.

Happy Anniversary Waxwing.
Thank you for all of the support.
This is my second tiny thing in a row. It’s 4″ x 3″.
I just have so many cool small frames to fill.
I ought to call it quits on lanterns.
I seem to obsess.
Hooray genetics!
I’ve been reading “Notebooks, Collections & Other Obsessions” by Guillermo Del Toro. When I reached the Pan’s Labyrinth section, I started wondering about female fauns because I’d never read about any. After washing it around in my head for 2 days I decided to consult Wikipedia (yes, it seriously took 2 days) and I discovered Fauna. She is the daughter (sometimes wife) of Faunus (aka Pan) and she can foretell the future, sings “fates” to women and nurtures all that is useful to living creatures. My idea of what is “useful” to living creatures went on a rampage of ridiculous themes but I kept coming back to this idea of Nachash going to Fauna for advice on how to rid the world of the plague of people.
This papercut is incredibly small. The black part measures 3″ x 3″. Nachash is about 1 mm thick. Please forgive the lack of detail. It’s tiny.
