Thing I Made Thursday #8: Mom's Sumerian box.

These have been in my Flickr stream for a long time, but unless you follow me there, you won't have seen them. Since I spent all this week working on something absolutely incredible that I can't actually show you yet -- and holy crap, is that ever frustrating! -- I'm sharing them with you for Thing I Made Thursday, which is now in its second month

You look like your mom.

Yeah, I totally second this.

People have told me that. I never thought that I did, when I was younger. I was never able to see it. Now I can see it, though.

Weirdly, all three of us, mom and my sister and I, all sounded very much alike, to the point that once I was grown up enough to have a regular voice, we were all mistaken for one another pretty regularly.

Same here--I successfully impersonated my mom as a teen on the phone to the point where one of her closest friends couldn't tell, and Mo and I often get mistaken for each other too.

That is very cool. The way you've shaded it makes the surface look carved when looking at it flat-on; it's only in looking at another surface can you see that it is flat. Lovely work!

It's gorgeous - so nice that you were able to give such a wonderful gift of self to your mother.

When and where was the SCA event you attended? I've been in for...12 years now?

Anyways...

That is absolutely beautiful, as is all of your artwork. I'm continually stunned by your insane amounts of talent.

I think it was Ansteorra Winterkingdom in Tulsa in . . . 1990? A loooong time ago.

And thank you!
