[Postcards] - Manticore

[kasche]

And this is the last one already - I really ended up making so awfully few of them. Gah.
   
   

For nassima.

So, when last year I asked people what they would have liked on their cards, she asked for a magical creature, and I immediately thought of a manticore.

I do love that animal. Love which is mostly founded on the fact that, as Newt Scamander says, " [...] the manticore is reputed to croon softly as it devours its prey."        I don't know, it just tickles my funny bone. Just like an old woman would hum when she’s knitting.

I am kind of weird, ain't I...

And while we’re here, might I also add that, had that pic been in color, the shreds of clothes and the ribbon would have been pink? If you know what I mean.

Hi! I have seen your art around but never actually been to your LJ till today. And I am scolding myself for taking so long because I love the Marauders so very much. Your art is brilliant I love everything I have seen. I will be happy for weeks looking at it.

I read your profile and hope you don't mind me adding you to my friend list. I don't post much but I love the LJ comms.

I saw that you are Italian and I just spent two weeks in Northern Italy. It was amazing and beautiful and I can't wait to go back.

Awww, thank you! I'm glad you like my stuff. :D And of course I don't mind! I'm flattered you added me, actually. ;)

It is beautiful there, isn't it? I don't live there myself, but I've recently been in the area to visit one of my dearest friends. I've got to say, I liked it a lot too. :D

I love that you draw in your text books. I can't draw to save my life but have always like to doodle on anything I can get my hands on. I post more over at Insane Journal so I friended you there as well.

I was in Piacenza visiting my very good friend. It is very lovely there and everywhere I went.

Hehe! I know the feeling. :D

I know the city, of course, but I can't remember if I've ever been there. :) I was near the lake of Como instead.

I went to Firenze, Venezia and Milano as well. There isn't a single ugly thing about Italy. Well maybe the annoying guy who played music too loud on the train coming back form Venezia. I think I am going back next year, I will have to check out Lake Como as I have heard it is beautiful. AND George Cloony lives there maybe I can find him *giggles*
