Wow, that's an amazing story about your encounter with a ray when you were a child!

Okay, I gotta come out of lurkdom for the Ray. I love your patterns but I gotta say... I <3 the Ray. In Vegas we go to the BassProShop to watch the rays in the tank. I LOVED the rays at Sea World in SD who would eat (suck) the squid right from your hand and felt like wet velvet and had the cutest bulldog-ish faces. And then I went to Belize Dec. 06 ... and swam with rays... it was magic. And I want to go back and do it again. and again.
So I gotta ask: are you going to by any chance post this pattern after you fix the mouth? :)
Thanks!

Oooh, I like your new header! And the sting ray is cute!

Bri

What a great post Brie! Your story of the Maldives is so compelling. What an amazing place to visit as a child. I so appreciate your experience of being humbled and reminded of your place in the world, with such an amazing creature. It's all such a great backdrop for your new crocheted creation! Thanks for sharing it with us. I also love that you used your frog for your header.

Happy New Year ! (yep, I am still on time).

Oh, yes, the creamy salty goodness of the tinned heinz tomato soup...with 2 slices of untoasted white plastic buttered bread...

Your ray is truly fab, like the rest of your patterns...and who cares the mouth is non-accurate...

You should definitely make your way to the Brighton aquarium to see the ray tank...the little cuties swim vertically out of the water so you can scratch their tummy. Now I KNOW you are not supposed to touch them...but they LOVE IT!!

The ray is gobsmackingly great. I hate to ask for a pattern as I'm sure it's a pain, but I would love to make this little bloke.

He looks so friendly - and I am extremely curious to know how you got the wings to curl.

I love the ray! It reminds me of the teacher in Finding Nemo, Murry I think. You did a wonderful job, you gave a great eye and wonderful imagination!!

Helena

I've been following your blog for a few months now. Your work always wows me! The ray is wonderful. The extra funny bit is... I have a crush for ancient Rome too. This year I'm taking a course with the Open University you would love, "Culture, Identity and Power in the Roman Empire". This one and World Archaeology are the cherries on my BA (Hons) Humanities with Classical Studies pie. I'll keep following you! (just on the net though, no need to phone the police ;o)

Oooh, thankies sooo much for sharing this awesome pattern!! I showed it to my huband who immediately told him that I HAD to make one for him. LOL. Already queued it in my ravelry account. :)

The Manta Ray is just adorable and the soup looks really yummy too! I've never heard of Heinz Tomato Soup. Maybe they just don't carry it in my area. Looks delicious though!
