Thanks everyone, for the comments.

edhl - I’d love to claim responsibilty, but that’s all in the paper. The furriness comes from tearing instead of cutting. It’s so soft, it’s nearly fabric.

doni - I’ve always wondered how those animals-of-the-moment get chosen. I remember the rooster and the cow being popular. My vote is for the sloth too. A truly inspirational animal.

Is the pink-yellow furry effect the paper itself, or did you have to do something to it to make it that way? It’s wonderful!

I think it’s gr-r-reat that the word for a sloth in Japanese is literally “Lazy Thing” [namakemono 怠け者, なまけもの, (n) lazy person / lazy fellow / sloth].

Speaking general slothiness, we are just getting around to buying Christmas cards and crap at Kawasaki CostCo, Do you folks want a ride with us tomorrow?

I don’t know who said that the cure for boredom was curiosity and that the latter — thankfully?– has no cure.. Therefore, you are not in danger of ever being bored!!! Love that sinewy fuzzy cuddle (?) sloth. You have nice Mom too

what an amazing piece. my favorite animal in the spanish language is oso perezoso…which is a sloth (at least in northern south america that is what they are called). your papercutting is very inspirational, as I have recently discovered my personal realm of this art form! you can check out my version of paper cuttings at http://www.bittystarr.etsy.com. I completely agree with the meditative and contemplative and therapeutic benefits of papercutting….as long as one isn’t feeling irritable!

all the best, and great blog!

Awesome sloth. They do seem to smile. Maybe it is becuase they live in trees and sleep all they want.
