Harry Potter and the Deer Maiden






Someone Not So Busy....
Long time no write. I was busy Harry Pottering about working on decorations for the Library's Hogwarts Holiday tree. After I finished the owls (and got seriously hooked on Doctor Who and Stargate Atlantis), I worked on the sorting hat. It was a Halloween witch's hat but after distressing it with some paint and embellishing it with patches, stitching, and felt eyes and mouth-it passes for a pretty decent sorting hat/tree topper. No picture though. I took one with my phone but I'm not quite sure how to transfer it to the computer. Maybe through Picasa? Headed off to get a massage the next day and ended up laying on my back with my hands on my chest and needles poking out of them. I had some rather large knots between my thumbs and forefinger so Renee was wielding her acupuncture magic. All I can say If I don't see the needles-they are not there. So I keep my eyes closed. Sometimes when you have a massage you get some pretty strong visions while you're lying there being pummeled to death. My own personal theory is that your releasing a lot of blocked energy or badness out of your system leaving room for some interesting ideas to come through. What I thought of when I tried to lay still  and not  move my hands because of the needles, is that my hands had turned into deer hooves because I was holding them in  a C-shape. I then proceeded to tell Renee that I felt like a Japanese deer maiden. To which she replied,"WTF?" and rightly so. She told me to draw it when I got home so I did.    
A Doodle....

your maiden is just lovely, but I don't know about the hooves, weird....
now I know I don't ever want a massage. I love the sorting hat, you did a wonderful job as I knew you would.

Trust me, you want a massage. The needles were an extra. You can pass on them. Yeah kitties...In a way, I was passed out in front of the computer....
