With simple graphite lines that appear to have been quick strokes, the artist created the most amazing drawings of cats, both at rest and in motion. If you love cats, you'll probably enjoy these. If you don't love cats, maybe you'll be converted to their delightsomeness. (Or not.)
I thought this was a sweet reminiscence of sewing, made by Singer. I learned to sew on my mom's old black 201 Singer, and it's the machine I still use.
If you've been reading this blog for a while you may have noticed that I love words and their etymology so, of course, I thoroughly enjoyed this post, Linguist clearly demonstrates how 'thinking is walking' in English. He says, "Our minds "race" or "wander," our thoughts "stray," and we "arrive" at conclusions," all words we also use when we physically walk. Maybe our minds do walk, figuratively speaking. Fun!
I've always admired hand-painted signs with their near-perfect letting. Here's a short demonstration of round hand lettering. Amazing!
Enjoy!
Nancy.
Thank you for sharing that video. Fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoyed it, Karen.
DeleteWOW you are right--amazing cat art works!! And a really fun video--thanks so much for the links that made me smile...hugs, Julierose
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed the links, Julierose.
DeleteThank you Nancy, for sharing these wonderful videos. And the Thinking/Walking comparison is also wonderful. I too love words. I come from Newfoundland, a place with its own vocabulary from the old Irish and English. Present day Irish come to Newfoundland to hear words spoken by their grandparents that are lost at home. Always interesting, isn't it. And yes to it being Autumn now and the end of humidity!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome for the videos, Jocelyn. I'll have to see what I can find out about the English and Irish words used in Newfoundland. I had no idea.
DeleteFun and fascinating links. I especially loved the lettering.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pat. I was amazed at the lettering video. I could never do that in a million years of practice, so of course I loved it, too.
DeleteYou've curated such a nice group this week, Nancy. I really liked the lettering. I will look up the charming song in the Singer video.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nann. I never know what will come along that seems interesting enough to include in these posts.
DeleteBarry Louis Polisar is the composer of the song you liked with the video. My favorite of his is "All I Want Is You." You can listen to it at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQor91GkLFE. Others of his songs are at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTwQyhb_1vGUMKFgRXZQQyw. I like his light-heartedness.
