Die, bed, die!

The war against the bed has resumed. I still don’t know what the bed did to warrant such attacks but I’m certain whatever it was, it was dastardly!

Here’s how it starts, she wraps her arms around the side, then slips into crazy kick mode.

Ruki attacks her bed

This goes on until the bed gets the upper hand by flipping over her (the nerve!), causing her to dart away toward safety. Then she glares and readies to stalk and attack again.

I’m so bad at getting pics of her doing this though. I’ve only been able to capture the first part of it. As soon as she sees the camera she stops and stares at me. Then she acts like nothing was going on and slips into her “I’m the most bored creature ever” pose. Apparantly my cat is about as photogenic as I am. Go figure. :P

A scherenschnitte fail

Dec 162009
 

I started the evening out lounging with a stack of comics. Somewhere along the way I got the idea in my head to practice some scherenschnitte. Eh…I picked a complicated pattern for the paper stock I have on hand. I wasn’t thinking about how I had to fold it in half to create the design. You can see what happened:

Squirrel

I wasn’t able to cut all the way through. Not only that, I didn’t even score the paper in spots so there was no way for me to tell where I should cut. I could guess, sure, but that would defeat the point of a mirrored look.

Part way through I realized what was happening and tried to compensate by pressing harder. All I did was hurt my hand, ow!, and make the root-like pieces fatter than they needed to be.

Oh well. There you have it. Pay attention to your paper stock. :P I need to get some thinner stuff now!
