4. In a sign that I need new hobbies, I could tell at a glance.

9. It is pretty obvious.
Some of the pieces at the link are knit, but not this one.

5. It reminds me of those paintings they do
in Central America and South America that are often tied in the ayachuasca religions.

There is a name for those but am forgetting right now (just got off work).
