a foray into arts and crafts
i was asked to do something on a small canvas for a charity exhibition recently. as i don't make art, i wondered what to do, and in the end i deceided to get a "lenço do namorado" (lover's hankerchief) made. traditionally, illiterate fishermens' wives embroider love poems for their husbands in fishing villages here in northern portugal (specifically in viana de castelo). for non-portuguese speakers, the last line of the poem translates as "i like you".
