Edvard Munch

The Scream

I was surprised to learn that this famous painting was painted on ordinary cardboard and that is one reason it is so fragile. Even so, it has survived being stolen and eventually recovered. There are several versions of this painting.

Twisted German Cast On

This is the cast-on used for "Six-Socks" last sock - The Handsome Devil. I'm still working on it and havent started the current one (Autumn Lace). I Like the Handsome Devil pattern. It goes really quickly. (I got a late start) -- and can't work on it very much now, as I working on paintings for a show.

Maybe a Cicada?

He doesn't look exactly like the images I have found, but pretty close, and there are a lot of variations. (A friend emailed me and gave me this clue!)

Can you tell me this guy's name?



He's not very pretty. Definitely not a June bug. A little bigger, I think. He posed for several pictures and then took off almost straight up into the trees.
