Love in Morse Code...

"Love," spelled out vertically in true Morse 
Code, flanking hearts that spell out love it
more liberally...

Hello there.

I hope you're having an excellent week. I know, I know, I say (and mean) a variation of this every week. But this week, I especially mean it. Cos round these parts it's been one of those weeks where I feel knee-deep in everything, but finished in virtually nothing. Can you relate?

So, I thought it would be fun, and very much in the spirit of the current Valentineish  season, to show you something interesting that I've learned in pursuit of one of those unfinished projects., ie...

How to spell out "Love" in Morse code.

I was really attempting to make a repeating pattern using this idea (and will post it here if I ever, actually manage to make it in full).

For now though, am left with the motif you see in the picture. (Which I'm thinking might work for something like tape, or ribbon).

But...

In the meantime, the Computer Man and I are left having different views on this. He says it can only be Morse code at all if the dots and dashes pattern you see at either side. 

On the other hand, my feeling is that once it's bright pink, made visual, and aiming to be part of a pattern, that ship has rather sailed...And so substituting filled hearts for dots and outlined ones for dashes (especially seeing as they are hearts, and the word being spelled out is "Love,")... feels like something well within artistic licence, to me.

I'll leave you with this conundrum, and wishes for a wonderful week, no matter what.

More soon.

Hello there

I hope all has been peaceful and easy for you this week. For our part, we had to go to a funeral (the backstory and tribute is here, if you're interested).

However, the vast amount of love expressed for that person led to much emotion-so much so that there was a need for great-deal-more-than-mere-words type of thanks, and so I created this, "Thank You" illustration.

To spread the love a bit further, if you need to thank someone, or a group of someone's too, and would like to download and use this, please do.

As you might guess, that's all for this week. But as things are most definitely on the up here, am hoping to be bounding back to a full creative schedule next week.

Take care, and thanks so much for being here.

More soon

P.S. Update on Feb 4th 2025: This design is now available as a printed thank you card on Redbubble.

A New Snowdrop Illustration

Hello there, and I hope you're doing amazingly well this week, with plenty of art and whimsy, come what may.

My intention with these ink and watercolour snowdrops (started on paper, and finished digitally-a truly hybrid project) is to boost the world's whimsy quotient just a bit more.

So, if you feel just a splash more whimsical after reading this post, it's done its main job.

So, if you'd like to download and use this image (maybe for upcoming posts with a "February," theme?) please do. If you do, please keep the BoundingSquirrel signature in view. If you'd like to link back, that would be lovely, but there's no obligation. See my "angel policy" for details if you need them.

With that said, I'll leave you to your day. Thanks so much for being here, and for reading down this far.

More soon.

P.S. Update on Feb 4th 2025: This design is also now available as part of a printable sympathy card in my Craftsuprint shop.
