Postcard from Japan

Makiko sent me this absolutely adorable postcard and enough information about the postcard series that I could find the postcards on Etsy and order some.

It’s from a series called Tabineko (she says it means “traveling cat.”) It’s the cute little black cat that travels and as someone who lives with little black cats, I am a fan.

Note from the future: Now that I have two versions of the series, I see that there are two cats. The cute little black one that pulled focus and the orange-and-black spotted one.

The stamps and stickers were lovely too.

This lesson was about combining tangles.

From the top: Flux (plant leaf) with Fescue (stalk with seed); Knight’s Bridge (checkerboard) with Tipple (circles); the still elusive Mooka (wormy looking thing in the center) with Nekton (hashmarks); Isochor (curved lines) with Tipple (circles); Hollibaugh (pickup sticks) with Printemps (oval spirals); Shattuck (triangles) with Amaze (squiggles).

Overall, I think these things shared this space very well.
