Happy Happy Joy Joy!

Today's update comes with a very big apology. Months and months ago (if you remember), one of my readers, the very talented and sweet Ruilian, made me a fantastic piece of art. It's a papercut that reminds me of a stained glass window. It's absolutely gorgeous, but I decided that I would wait until it was properly framed before I did a post about it. Which, slowpoke that I am, took about eight months. (Or maybe it's been ten months. In any case, a very, very long time.) Of course, now that it is properly framed, the glare on the glass is taking away from the photos. Sigh.

Still, you can get a little sense of the fantastic detail and colors:


Even Commander Robot appreciates it, and he's very picky about art:


Anyway, I love it so and am happy to finally give it a good home on our apartment wall. Thank you, Ruilian, for such a perfectly happy picture (and sorry again for taking so long to give you a proper thank you). In the meantime, Ruilian has been up some new papercuts – this time with a fashion focus. So. Cool!
