방금 제 파트너가 올린 앵무 도자기의 주인공은 노란머리 카카리키(마오리어: kākāriki(작은 앵무라는 뜻), 영명:red-crowned parakeet, yellow-crowned parakeet 학명: Cyanoramphus auriceps)라는 뉴질랜드의 고유종인 목도리앵무과의 새입니다.

과일을 좋아하는 예민하고도 조용하고 청결한 걸로 유명한
내향적인 소형앵무라고 합니다.

Did you know that I design a lot of the fabrics I use myself? And that those fabric designs start as illustrations? Which means that if you like the art, but don't need a lampshade, or wallet, you could just get it for your wall? How about the kākāriki?🦜

Just a few coin purses fused and cut.
Next up: fuse the labels then overlock the edges, then sew them up, and finally, trim, turn and press.
How many do you reckon are here?
And how many did you reckon I’ll get stitched in the next 24 hours (I’ll run out of zips for some…)?

So... #introduction time. Here to learn and boost. I deal mostly with the "softer" aspects of infosec: ISMS, infosec risk management, GDPR and security culture. First got into privacy back in the nineties.
