My entry for Emma’s moleskine, with a dip pen and ink. Whenever I think of Emma’s art I think of little foxes, but these ones have escaped. (That’s me on the cover of the book). You can see a close-up here.

I like those “little foxes”. Very imaginative–never thought of that type of “escapism” in art. (ha)
Oddly, the Hebrew word shu’al (שועל) translated “foxes” in Canticles 2:15 can also be (according to some commentaries) be rendered as “jackals”–and there is actually a species of jackal, per those same commentaries, that stands 15 inches (37.5 cm?) in height. So…”little jackals”? Not quite as poetic as “little foxes”!

And most of that seems to be ears: http://flickr.com/photos/wayuu/2118634325!

Wow! I’ll say–looks like 20 cm is ears–talk about “being all ears.”
