Howl 02.24.10

I thought of so many things with this word! Allen Ginsberg, the song 'I wish I was the moon tonight' by Neko Case. . beautiful things and nature. What a strong word.

Isthmus 02.23.10

I separated the word like two large land masses . .

free stone 02.22.10

Like a peach pit!

hitch hike 02.21.10

Lengthen 02.20.10

Took a few days off. . It has been a sunny week! Great weather and happiness, except I really need a job. But I gotta stick to my words!

Format 02.16.10

This is almost the same as the word layout too. .

krone 02.15.10

I found an image of a krone on the web, this is what it looks like. It's cute.

heart strings 02.13.10

just in time for valentines day.

fructify 02.12.10

It kind of looks like an earlier one, flaxen.

eye glass 02..11.10

Clamor 02.10.10

I wanted to show the protest and noise of this word, but still have it seem kinda fun!

Entropy 02.09.10

This is an awesome word that I now sorta understand! The example I found is this: The active nature of entropy is easy to grasp, If a glass of hot liquid is placed in a colder room a potential exists and a flow of heat is spontaneously produced from the cup to the room until it is minimized (or the entropy is maximized) at which point the temperatures are the same and all flows stop. whew!

Locker room 02.08.10

A room having lockers for clothes, etc. This one was just too easy :)

Explain 02.08.10

Sorry this took me a couple days to post! Mon. etc. will follow shortly. THIS post is a contribution from my cousin who is also an artist/photographer. Check out her blog at roxygirlart.blogspot.com!

Lisp 02.06.10

Lisp is a hard word to illustrate. . .

Gun 02.05.10

This is so simple, but it works! It's really cool when the word can look like the object it describes!

Downy 02.04.10

I think these may look a little more like leaves than feathers!

Gavotte 02.03.10

I used dance steps as the inspiration for the letters and word. . . but I don't think you can actually do any of these as real moves :)

Hydrozoan 02.02.10

This was the super fun. It is my favorite word so far!

Delicatessen 02.01.10

I just realized I forgot the first e in the pig. . well now I know to double check carefully! I think this really describes the word. Not only is the pig the logo (of sorts) for cured meats, but also for the movie of the same name made in 1991.

Geostatics 01.31.10

Okay. This was tough. But finally after some research and consideration, I felt that making the word look like a topograghic map was the closest I was going to come to getting an understanding and still illustrate the word.
