I found this at a thrift store a few years ago and I've struggled to identify any of the symbols. I've tried online symbol databases, I think I tried reverse image searching, and I've tried just scrolling endless "fish" symbols to no avail. It's handmade and uses poly-fabrics, so it's certainly not an antique (or at least not a really old antique).

I love it. I think it looks really cool. I don't want to hang it up, though, if it has meaningful and/or religious meaning that would make that inappropriate.

Can anyone toss a theory my way? Is this religious imagery? Will it curse my descendants? Is this someone's Saturday afternoon craft, and they had no foresight that their fun "designs" would torture the back of my brain for years?

Saw a panel discussion where the devs called it "kuhd". I refuse to surrender. It will always be caved of "could" in my heart ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ.

Yeah, definitely not Inkheart. That book/movie was about being stuck in/out of books, not drawings.

Well, the little "seeds" on the outside are nuts by def. The red fleshy part is an accessory fruit.

My old person trait is that no one is allowed to be mad at me for not answering a random phone call. Sometimes it's ok to leave your phone in the other room while watching a movie, or (gasp!) At home while you're out gardening.

 

Seems nice.

There's an art Lemmy community- small for now, but a new rush of people in the next week could help get it started up!
