ice calligraphy and alternative medusae

[asakiyume]

On Christmas Eve, there were messages written in a loose, accomplished hand in the ice. I can't read them, but the Snow Queen's Kay could--he was studying that language, I hear.





Some days later, Little Springtime had a college interview with an alumna of the institution in question who happens to live locally. They met in a coffee shop. The ninja girl and I tagged along. I edited and she doodled, but then I finished my editing, so I doodled too. She doodled a Medusa and remarked that snakes for hair wouldn't necessarily be ugly--just rather alarming. I wondered how other things for hair might be. Birds, for instance, or knives. Later I thought, what about dogs' heads? (or wolves or foxes. canids.) Here are those alternative medusae (with one inexplicable fish head in among the canids in the third second):

Wow, really?! I guess I always assumed they were curls...

Also, my wedding hairstyle looked a lot like that, without the snails, sadly.

I do think they **are** curls, but that they described them as being like snails (and then that artist on Deviant Art decided to imagine it literally).

Do you have very curly hair, that you put up in a bun for your wedding?
