AfriCat
Look at this adorable carved wooden cat that Rebekah brought back for me from Mozambique. He is about 10 inches tall and carved from a piece of wood, which has then been painted or stained and buffed to shine. Then the light parts were cut out with a sharp blade, into the lighter wood under the paint (his ears, facial features, claws, and tail). I love it!
Ziggy also thought it was verrrry interesting.
Rebekah sent me some other things she got in Africa, too -- a carved stone turtle (also very cute), some beaded jewelry, and a cool little wicker change purse like the one she used in Mozambique. It is so neat to see the things she found there, and to think about what it must have been like. I've seen lots of pictures from her trip, of course. But I'm sure you can never really understand unless you've been there.
I love my African cat. But mostly I'm just glad Rebekah is back home. I missed her!
