A Calmer Chameleon!

This is an African linocut from Kitambaa fabrics. See www.kitambaa.blogspot.com, which is Pippa Moore's blog. I heard her presentation at the Victoria Sewing Show last weekend (the room was filled!) and she is at the Westshore Quilters Guild Symphony of Quilts show this weekend, which is where I picked up this little critter. I plan to do something with him and perhaps have him on the front page of the blog when finished.

And a shout-out to "Dragon Lady" Laura for the ride yesterday! Thanks!

At long last, a Chameleon appears!

The chameleon is one of my personal symbols because the chameleon can fit in anywhere. Okay, I realize the reality is not as dramatic as the art, but that's artistic license, folks!

Fitting in anywhere has been one of the guiding principles of my life and it's a family trait that goes back over at least 4 generations -- in the branch of the family that has one ancestress from Greenland who married an English whaler and moved to the east coast of England -- so perhaps that trait even goes back hundreds of years.
