corvijuli and I just got back from one of our biannual trips to Cambridge for her schooling, and I am having trouble readjusting to ordinary wash-the-dishes life. Also, one of the goats seriously injured herself yesterday, and while she's now totally fine and harassing the sheep as usual, I keep having flashbacks to the overwhelming image of holding a struggling goat with blood matted in her fur at inopportune times, such as while trying to eat.Time for happy distractions. Suggest to me a subject for a Tiny Papercutting!
Tiny Papercuttings will be made out of 3x5 index cards (8ish by 12ish cm), and I'll post a reasonably sized photo, and also a dreamwidth-icon-sized image, like the icon I'm using for this post.

Thank you so much for the suggestion, I had never heard of a sankofa before, and the symbolism is very neat. I enjoyed making this a lot.
It's late, and I want to clean up the rough photo a little before making an icon, but tomorrow I will post an icon you can use if you'd like.
