People's thumbs were obviously made smaller 90 years ago.

What student laptop would be complete without a dictionary?

You can be so funny.

Hi Flickr folk. I photocopied these from a real dictionary that I didn't make up, and cut them out for your perusal. Are you going to tell me that my dictionary is wrong?

This card is for the Hero Arts October challenge (Holiday theme), for Stamptoberfest challenges (Celebrate Just Because and Combo Card), and for Stamping A to Z on Two Peas.

 

Today (16 October) is Dictionary Day and it inspired me to use a dictionary page as background. The poinsettia was stamped on the dictionary page, masked and then the leaves were stamped. I used both positive and negative masks to colour the poinsettia with Distress inks using sponge daubers. The word ‘poinsettia’ was encircled on the dictionary page and inked with a bit of Antique Linen. Seed beads were stitched to the flower centre with golden thread. I also used a bunch of golden threads, tied them together and stitched them down with seed beads. The dictionary page was crumbled up. I thought the flower was a bit dark, so I outlined it roughly with a white gel pen. TFL!!

which dictionary pic is better?

I would have liked to see one of these for real.

Osculate is an awful sounding word for a sweet gesture. No wonder we use its definition 'kiss' as our commonplace term.

For the Boy's first Christmas, we opted, instead of lavishing him with toys and more toys (I mean, it's not like we were ever ones to hold back on toy purchases for him to begin with), to get him something we really wanted him to have. And what we wanted was a $400 dictionary and a cute little wheeled stand on which to display it and the included magnifying lens needed to illuminate the miniscule text. Of course, The Boy, who today still labors over words like "the" and "our," has yet to employ the power of the OED, so it'd been sitting in the basement this past year, still somehow gathering dust in its sealed-up moving box. We brought it up today, mostly to serve as a gaming surface in the absence of a coffee table. When not in use as etymological reference/flat checkmate conveyance? It tucks neatly into the functional, but never-used-by-us fireplace. Feels like bibliophilic heresy, but, you know, whatever.

Dictionary? Or not? 5 years ago I wrote "Do No Remove" on the cover. You will see, the binding has not, in fact been removed... only the actual dictionary.

Cranes 101-102 of 1000 for 2016.

do the math... a picture is worth only 1000 words, if 20,000 words cost 50 cents, what should this picture cost?

Ah! Wait, Let me get that word right..

what did you say, again... ?
