is for Deborah
Deb.or.ah [deb-er-uh]
etymology: from Hebrew, meaning Bee
Web.er [web-er]
etymology: from German, occupational name for a weaver
Deborah Weber
noun
1. a thoroughly delightful, somewhat shy creature, known to play amidst flowers, dance with the moon, wear red shoes, weave connections, admire spider webs, and espouse the joy way of the everyday sacred.
2. someone who enjoys word play, and whose name anagrams into things she love. For example: Wore Herb Bead; Adore Herb Web; Hoard Bee Brew
3. has a number named after her. The Deborah number is a dimensionless number, often used in rheology to characterize the fluidity of materials under specific flow conditions. It’s true the definition makes her head hurt, but she likes the dimensionless part, and the flow part, and it’s a number!
For today’s ICAD challenge I couldn’t resist doing a selfie. Which I then amused myself by playing with photo editing effects.
And for Artsyville’s Glue It Tuesday, I’ve started a journal spread. I’ve got some additional pages folded between the sketched face page and the laced bee page. Plenty of room for some more obscure info about me. Maybe I’ll flip those pages some time and give you a peek.
So tell me, what does D stand for in your world? Are you more of a Bee person or a Spider person? What wonderful anagrams does your name make? What questions are you asking yourself? Do tell, you know I love to hear!
I am definitely a bee person! Sweet little bees.
And the letter D in my world means Determined until Death : ) lol!
I love what you have done in your journal. I would love to cut out questions to ask myself…great idea!

LOL – that’s a Decidedly Dedicated Declaration Lynn!
Well my name is Dawn so, that is pretty self explanatory and oh so interesting, too hahaha. I love both spiders and bees. I have a bee tattooed on my left forearm with a crown above her head. I live in a house full of men, so I am the queen bee. Several years ago we had a GIANT garden spider (I call them banana spiders because of their coloring) take up residence on our deck. She was there all summer and moved her web about 3 times and I documented her on Flickr and shot video of her and everything. I was quite sad after she spun her web sack and left us.
Much more info that you asked for, sorry.
I enjoyed all of your offerings today very much!

A perfect amount of wonderful information Dawn! Love that you documented your resident spider, and love that you are a queen bee with the marking to prove it. So glad you stopped by, and we can celebrate you as D is for Dawn today as well.
I guess I’m a Bee because I’m Deborah too. Never knew about the bee, just that Deborah was in the Old Testament… and I’m not a bible person. Great me, myself & I ! {:-D
Lovely to meet another Bee, and thanks for stopping by the hive. 😉
Love how you have done this page. The idea of doing a page on our name is so unique. I think I should also try this.
Thanks Susan. Glad you’re inspired. It’d be fun to see your name page.
Love your journal spread. I am a Bee, for Betsy, and often journal around “B” or “be” or “bee”.
Busy as a B(ee), Be yourself, Be creative, BElieve, believe in yourself, etc. You get the idea! 😉 definitely, bee for me!
Oh yes, a woman after my own heart Betsy! Be-you-to-full. 😉
Very thought provoking post Deborah. I’m in awe-you have a number named after yourself.
Have a creative week!
LOL – it IS very impressive isn’t it? The Deborah number. Have a wonderful creative joy-filled week as well Cheryl.
First time with Glue It Tues. nice to meet you. Fascinating info about your name and wonderful art representing YOU!
GIT is such fun – I’m glad you decided to play as well. It always feels like such a fun expansive invitation. Thanks for stopping by and happy creating.
cool post! I love how your name has a math number attached to it. And thanks for your suggestion on Ciao!
Thanks. The number bit is rather amusing. And I love your greeting project – it’s wonderful. Thank you for stopping by.
Well, I do not like spiders unless they are outside and away from me.
I like your pages and your digital selfie :oD
LOL – sounds like a fair compromise for spider tolerance. Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful pages, Bee Weaver!
Thanks Aimee – and I love Bee Weaver, I claim it proudly.
D stands for ‘done’, today at least!! 🙂 I am a spider person, and my name backwards is ah Satan, which does not delight me, but gives delight to some people, and I love both bees and spiders. Loved your selfie and that you played with it like you did. I love this post, all about you. 🙂 Made me smile throughout.
What a Delicious comment! Perhaps you should tell people that as an artist you like to mix things up so your mash-up name is Ah Santa and you deliver creativity and art by the sackfuls. 😉 Thanks for stopping by and for the kind words.
