stuff-making meme

Couldn't resist this. Gacked and modified from [livejournal.com profile] jen_deben and [livejournal.com profile] ashtoreth:


The first five people to respond to this post will get some form of art, by me, that is in some fashion about them. I make no guarantees about quality or type, and it might take some time for me to finish, but I will try to post them all by spring.

The catch: as with most memes, if you sign up, you have to put this in your own journal as well. Give to receive and all that.

"Art" = loosest sense of the term. Might be a sketch. Might be a haiku. Might be a voicepost of me reading aloud a poem that reminds me of you. Caveat ovis.




Poem not finished and work not yet worked, but I have made the pesto, run some laundry, swept the corners of the living room ceiling (cobwebs, yuergh) and cleared the card-making supplies off the ironing board. And there is a bucket of lily-in-the-valley roots I should plant before nightfall (thanks again, [livejournal.com profile] psongster!). Onward...

I'm quite sure "caveat ovis" can't possible be either "Sheep beware" or "Egg beware" but I can't quite figure out what it could be.

Note: Am not responding to meme part of posty, however, as I'm not enough of an artist to be confident about carrying out the acompanyng responsibility - plus there's already the poem about the jumping mullet fish. And the card you once sent with the Quiller-Couch quote, that has been living in a frame in my office, is in a Netherlands-bound box as I type.

Ooo! Ooo! Pick me! *jumps up and down*

Yes, it's "sheep, beware."

is in a Netherlands-bound box as I type

I am honored.

Though I will also remind you that earrings/zipper charms/bookmarks are also "art." Though, were you to go that route, postage might be An Issue. Don't mind me, I'm just thinking aloud...

D'accord! ...That said, you will have only yourself to blame if it ends up being a limerick about Austrian underwear. ;-)

Eeeeeeeeeee!!! Just the very thought of that fills me with an uncontrollable glee.
