  4. Normally, no. I hate snakes. But these beauties? They're so colorful and pretty that I'd love to wrap them around my wrist for bracelets!

  5. I am always intrigued and amazed by your ability to make literally anything beautiful! And, when I look at the bigger version, I get a sense I am looking at an enchanting mandala.

  10. Nicky -
    I always get such inspiration from your beautiful patterns and creations. PLUS, I just LOVE the last post about your mum's celebration! I love that your nieces were flinging strawberries at the cake and that it needed to sit and get gooeier. That is cool! I shall try it! Love your work, as always!

  12. Hi Nicky! This is a such a super illustration, it takes all the 'eeuw' out of slithery snakes!! Fascinating creatures, but NO WAY would I want to put my hand in amongst them! Thanks for your note on my blog - I've actually been in Dubai for the last two weeks with never a thought for my website!!

  18. ....but my eyes want to keep looking - so colorful!!

    This reminded me of a dream I had last weekend of a slew of snakes slithering in shallow water around my feet - YUK!

  19. Eeek! They remind me of nightmares I had as a child - the floor is full of slithering snakes and I can't get to the door! At least these ones are colourful ...

  20. These look super-awesome!
    Are they poisonous?! Because I was just thinking they look pretty friendly ...
