St. George in the fight with the red dragon
As you can see, the tension of this scene is arranged diagonally across the image, as if none of the creators decided to accept that the fight would remain unresolved (horizontal line), or finally finished - settled unambiguously (vertical line). So the fight continues...
I'm participating in a wonderful project, UTATA VERBIAGE, presenting a picture-esque dictionary (or maybe pictionary) of verbs. Check it out!
You'll find docman images under climbing, contrasting, hammering, hiking, holding, hugging, imbibing, posing, reflecting, resting, roasting, rocking, selling, sliding and standing.
The vocabulary entries in this dictionary are in a much larger font than the following text, so two lines of type appear to the right of the word being defined.

Just for Fun: a Homemade Dictionary Game!
• Number of people: 3 or more—5 or 6 is best
• Materials: (1) A large dictionary—the bigger the better. If 8 or more are playing, use 2 dictionaries and divide the group (2) Blank sheets of paper and a pencil for everyone
• Playing the Game: Group chooses a reader and number of rounds (words chosen) to be played. Reader opens dictionary at random and chooses obscure word—one that no one will know. Reader reads just chosen word to the group, spells it, and reads it again. (If anyone in the group knows the word, they must confess it and another word is chosen.) Each player writes a believable definition for the word. While doing that, reader writes down the dictionary definition on the same type of paper the players are writing their definitions. When each player is ready, written definitions are handed to reader who reads each one aloud, including the real definition, numbering each as they’re read. Reader then records each player’s definition choice as they call them out.
• Scoring: 1 point for choosing the actual dictionary definition and 1 point for each person whose fictitious definition is chosen. (i.e., rewards for being correct and rewards for being creative!)
• Subsequent rounds change readers, or not.
(PS: if you thought the definition for fun in this card is legitimate, I get a point!)
Cute dictionary. Belonged to my Grandpa. My Mum gave it to my 5 year old daughter to play with. Bit worried that it'll get trashed, so I have just rescued it from her Barbie dolls. The locket case has a magnifying glass in it for reading the print.

Yay craft materials and books! I really needed a dictionary since mine are being shipped. I was so happy to get this today. :D
Also included is a German novel for when I can read better.
Craft materials include fabrics, rolls of patterned tape, gift cards, tags and of course, the baskets too! A purple crochet brooch isn't pictured but I love it too.
Thank you Juanita! It's a great welcome package. :D
