Part I. [DragonCat, Guest Art]
Part II.
DragonCat arrived from Tamara Vardomskaya in a cloud of electrons.
He was sent over the wires to a place where he could achieve paper form, in preparation for getting a frame.
I arrived to meet the embodied DragonCat.
Lovely.
Initially, DragonCat is excited about getting a new home.
We discussed frames.
Perhaps something classic in wood?
Good in theory. In practice, it was the sort of thing one would use for Important Certificates.
Gold frame? Too flashy.
Why don’t we work on mat color.
How about green?
Nope? College and husband’s work both have green as their color. In fact, the green mat with a wooden frame is exactly how my diploma is framed. Moving on.
Yellow? Too sallow.
Double mats?
No mat at all?
At about this point, DragonCat began to lose patience.
Will you people please make up your minds!
Finally, we decided on wood painted to look like stone, giving DragonCat a lair from which to peer at the world.
Thank you to Craig Zernik and the team at Four Corners Gallery.
Onwards!

I like the stone.
Dragon at does too, I expect.

DragonCat seems happy in the new house.
