I am meandering through Susan's fascinating "My life is a Zoo" blog (she is a knitter who not only adores dogs but is a zoo keeper too!) and found this fun link for making cyborgs from names:

Meet:


Get Your Cyborg Name I think I'd spot her a mile off so she'd be rubbish at infiltration, unless she has some method of camouflage? Maybe she's see through...

Just for fun, courtesy of Beverley over at the two fish knitting blog. Cor Blimey! what a glowing report - if this were really so, then wouldn't it be a wonderful world? The only large projects I can think that I'm working on (besides the fantasy ones in my head) are knitting ones (that Kaffe Fasset bedspread perhaps?) - not quite what this was on about methinks, but I do believe having a yoni in there was very appropriate.

You are the World

Completion, Good Reward.

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.

The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

NAMELIAN!

Here is my 'NAMELIAN' - she's a member of the Wolflutterby genus and the sun shines down on her. This bit of fun was courtesy of Jo and I thank her very much... In turn, she got the idea from Steve where you'll find the destructions for YOUR name. But, in case you can't be bothered to follow the link:-

To create a namelien you:

a. fold a piece of paper in half

b. open your paper up

c. turn your paper so the fold is horizontal

d. write your name in cursive, "real big" on the fold line (a thick-tipped, dark-colored marker, crayon, or pencil works best)

e. keep your paper where it is, fold it up again, and trace the name you wrote (a thin sheet, a lightbox, or holding the paper against a window with good light can help make the tracing easier, if needed)

f. open your paper again

g. trace over your name again (write on the original, front side), this time you'll be writing it backwards

h. turn your paper so that the fold line in the middle is now vertical--choose which way is rightside up (you will now see an interesting, symmetrical design created from your name)

i. have fun adding things (we make ours totally symmetrical)--such as eyes, arms, legs, antennae, wings, hands, claws, feet, hair, patterns, textures, colors, etc.

j. create a nonsymmetrical background/environment for your namelien (optional)

There is just so much fun out there on the internet!
