Don't Pull That Thread

I've long loved pareidolia, naturally occurring objects that can take on the appearance of other things. It's a trick of the brain that wants to recognize something familiar. That's a terribly important survival skill, to recognize friend or foe in a millisecond.

I really am striving to put as many of these types of things-that-look-like-other-things in Halfland as possible. After all, that's really a big point of Halfland, that things we "see" all the time in life might be more than we thought. Is that rock alive? etc.

I woke up the other day to notice my sweater had taken on the appearance of a jolly character.

I'm thinking of making the throw blanket into this sort of quasi face.

Bottom left shows how a scrap of orange thread and formed itself into an insect like shape on my robe. I want a few more ambiguous moments of wonder in Halfland like this to complement the more overt transformations. I would love it if people of all ages started thinking they saw something alive that is usually taken for inanimate. That half-state of reality is where Halfland really resides.
