I spent last week trying to get Nadine into one of Tbilisi’s famous sulphur baths with wine, cheese-bread, a cat and a dog.
You might think the cat and the dog would be the tricky part, but they weren’t.
The tricky part was not cutting my fingers off or glueing them together.
Because I was making a raree show for Nadine’s birthday.
(That’s what Wikipedia says they are. What a great word! Keep an eye out for it in an upcoming Alumière adventure.)
Mine was with Nadine, Manchee and Pudding cavorting in a steam bath with wine and Georgian cheese-bread!
I found the idea on the website of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
You basically cut out several layers of paper with different images and line them up behind each other to create a little scene.
Fiddly but fun.
So, I’m passing it on, in case you’re handy with a craft knife and want to give it a go, too.
Otherwise, stick to the videos.
My latest is very educational, about where the phrase “ok” came from.
Needless to say, it involves one of my great-great-grandfathers, as well as newspapers, the Boston Irish, and stress-tested trousers.
Check it out, then share the link with your friends!
Ok?
Chat soon,
