ICAD Week 2

The second week of ICAD has flown by.  There are usually one or two prompts that I have to research such as the first one below.  

Day 8/61 - Suzani Pattern

 A type of embroidered and decorative textile from central Asian countries. Suzan is Persian for needle.

Day 10/61 - David Bowie

Some thought that David Bowie had two different colored eyes.  He did not.  He had a condition called aniscoria - the pupil in one eye was paralyzed open after an eye injury which made it appear to be black.

Day 11/61 - Tiramisu 

A tangled cross-section slice.

Day 12/61 - Brocade

My grandmother made all her special occasion dresses and almost always there was some brocade material involved.

I try to work a day ahead so I have some wiggle room to get these done.  Of course, if I don't get the card of the day done on the day of the prompt it's no big deal.  We do see the prompts a week ahead so I try to plan around them.  This will come in handy next month when I have to go back into the office until my last day.  We're going back to the 4-day week with the long hours so I know that it will be a challenge indeed especially with some events we've got planned for July.  Keeping my fingers crossed I don't get too far behind.
