Links to Enjoy #37 - Words, Art, Sewing Machines

These are a few links and two videos I've enjoyed over the past few weeks.  I hope you'll enjoy one or two of them, too.  


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.

  3. Thank 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!
