I just packed up the Octavia Butler Owl pendant to send to Nisi Shawl for the Butler Scholarship Award. It's an owl pendant that I made originally for Octavia Butler as her totem, and is now given to the winner/s of the scholarship.
The sheep is the pendant I made from Eric Flint and Virginia De Marce's book 1634: The Ram Rebellion (the Eric Flint 1632 series). As I describe in this post, it was quite difficult to get right.
I'm feeling like I _must_ have gotten it right. At Westercon, whre there was a 1632 mini-convention, Paula Goodlett, who wrote the original storey about "Brillo" the sheep and Eric Flint and Virginia De Marce all bought the pendant. I was tempted to call this post "The Triumph of the Sheep".
We had summer weather in San Francisco today, and I spent a nice part of this afternoon in my hammock under the trees reading.
Tomorrow I get to write a blog about the Placenta and Social Change for Body Impolitic. It should be fun to write.
