Magnificent Minoan Art

[browngirl]

drglam, who is incredibly generous and good to me, commissioned mamishka, who is awesomely talented and learned, to create an artwork for me.

Click on this link to see it.

I just... I'm nearly inarticulate with delight. Just look at that glowingly gorgeous bull-leaper! Her sleek limbs! Her serpentine locks! Her confident smile! Her perfect details! And the bull, with his sentient little eye! And that blue! When my eyes hurt from staring at monitors I will just look at that blue and feel it soothe my eyes.

Also, compare my userpic; I'd like to think the Minoans would recognize this beautiful bull-leaper if they saw her. They'd know her for their own.

Thank you, mamishka! Thank you, drglam! And thank you, lyonesse and kathrynt, for making sure/intending to make sure I saw this *grin*

That's pretty wonderful. Congratulations to all co-conspirators and of course to you.

Beautiful!

With a very little adaptation, this would make a lovely stained glass window or batik pattern.

That is, in fact, pretty spiffy :>

(As an apology for my own piece running so late, if you're interested in running a set of Mamishka's art on postcards, I can send you a quote for basically my company's cost on them. Ping me off-journal if that appeals to you, please).

It is gorgeous!

OK, now I have to use this. I was waiting, but you didn't pick up the meme of "memory about sometime we were together --- good, bad, or ugly, but not true". Now you leave me no choice!

The time we were sitting in the outdoor cafe at the plaza in the middle of Lincoln Center and Lar Lubovitch was sitting at the next table. You and he got to talking, and the next thing any of us knew, you were teaching him the moves you learned from the Minoan bull-dancers.

What a lovely gift! You give good things out, and good things come back to you, love. I don't know if you saw it, but your fruit cake generosity inspired me to make a similar offer--5 batch of home-made chocolate chip cookies to the first 5 folks who posted:)

Btw, I saw some of your lovely food tonight, though I did not see you. R mentioned in her lj that you were sick, so I understood. Hope you feel better, soon.
