drawing challenge: cactus




cactus (cacti, cactuses) a member of the cactaceae family
and a name originally used for a spiny plant whose identity was not certain

I do not really like cacti
there is only one I like, namely the one with ears
I crocheted such a cactus and once in a pot I realized
I have used one in the ABC I made for Oldest
a long, long time ago

for more cacti see: tinyWoolf the blog of sweet Nadine

ik hou niet echt van cactussen
er is er maar één die ik leuk vind, namelijk die met oren
ik haakte zo'n cactus en eenmaal in een pot realiseerde ik me
dat ik er een heb gebruikt in het ABC dat ik maakte voor Oudste
lang, lang geleden

  8. Patrice!!! ♥ We had the same idea! And I thought you all would call me a cheater :) I love your cactus! And i am so happy to hear we are many sharing this fear of the plant full of needles.

    Love. E.

  10. So such a thing do you have in your home, a crocheted cactus! I like them too, this kind, but do not touch them, they have tiny needles that want to bury into your fingers!

  11. Love the crocheted cactus! And it is perfect if you don't like real ones. It interests me that so many people don't really like cacti, as I am intriqued by them and enjoy them so much!

    words cannot explain how much I love the crocheted cactus in a pot. However words can explain how much I love the alphabet cactus illustration: beautiful and minimal with a great layout.
