    It is almost a cadeusus. Medicine for the soul of the artist, that is what Xara is.

    sorry, Sally, I don't know what a cadeusus is--certainly speaks greek to me (literally) --ahh, but don't want to embarrass myself....

    this is a really nifty imagination, Drifter. Great snake. Nice idea to get him twisting upward without a tree while maintaing perspective

    as I continue to look at it, I noticed the black raised mat--for lack of words as to what it's really called. this is just my personal preference, but I would try something different for that(?)....and maybe take away the pins in the corners. In the end, tho, one's gotta go with what one likes

    A caduseus is the name of the medical symbol that has a snake or snakes wrapped around an iron rod which is topped with the outstretched wings of an eagle.

    Here is a link I found about the history behind the emblem if any are interested.

    My meaning is that Xara helps the mental health of those who use it. Lots more fun than playing games to me. At the end of the day, it takes the "venom" out of my daily tasks.

    Looks really nice, Drifter. The muti-colored scaley is now a green grass scaley (oops, make that a green rattlesnake). The color scheme works well--better this time. Oh, you made it smaller, took away the 'corral' fence. More imaginative. Good job
