Vocabulary Lesson: "Flocculence"


source.

"Flocculence" means having a fluffy or wooly appearance, and is usually associated with the color white.




I have been collecting "flocculent" images for you all week. My Pinterest board is insane!!!
I really can't stop pinning fluffy clouds, or cozy looking beds.





Symbolically, a cloud could be a prelude to an important revelation; while white represents purity, innocence, or even enlightenment. So, the term "flocculence" is really loaded; it's suggesting both a revelation and enlightenment. Try to approach this weeks "Vocabulary Lesson" with these things in mind.

There is definitely something magical about this collection of things.
I love this little guy! I thought about trying to make some spun cotton ornaments myself, but for now, I'll leave it to the professionals...



I don't think I have the patience to work on such intricate lace, but this photo is so inspiring!


I can't even believe this is real! I am blown away by the talent of this etsy seller!

SOOOOOOOOOOOO squishy!!!!!


There's nothing I love more than a single-ply worsted weight yarn!
I confess . I may have a tiny craftercrush on Crystal. I saw her on Martha a few weeks ago, and I can't stop thinking about her work.


Be sure to use this word "flocculent" in conversation today!
