#ManuscriptMonday + #MonochromeMonday :

"Such a cat is not to be caught without mittens"

Proverbes en rimes (Proverbs in Rhyme), France (Savoy), ca. 1490, ink on laid paper

W.313, fols. 79v-80r

“In this book of popular sayings, a man cautiously approaches a cat, whose smug face and sharp claws suggest a battle of wills is about to take place. The image, which captures the experience of anyone who has tried to grab an unwilling cat, is effective in conveying its message that some things cannot be achieved without a struggle.”

ICAD 2025, Day 61: Watercolor flowers.

The final index card art for this year's Index Card a Day challenge! The challenge was always a little exercise in being consistently creative and making creating something a daily habit. These were meant to be quick, even experimental pieces, and I took it as a chance to try creating some techniques or ideas I would otherwise never spent the time exploring.

Sure, there were some misses. But there were a few hits, too, and the total sum of the work is meeting the challenge and sticking with it.

Thanks for being a part of my journey! I hope there were some things to enjoy.
