Several weeks later, I drew a pair of such figures in action and the
comment was: “It’s a whirligig of some sort” (Figs. 107, 107a).

After the following drawing, Craig asked me not to do any more hands,
for the reason that she “got” this, but thought it was my own hand doing
the drawing. She guessed something else, and wrote: “Turned into pig’s
head, then rabbit’s” (Figs. 108, 108a):

Next, this bat, with very striking comment.
“Looks like ear-shaped something,” and again:
“Looks like calla lily” (Figs. 109, 109a):

A butterfly net (Figs. 110, 110a).

This highly humorous sunrise (Figs. 112, 112a):

A carnation which came after the preceding drawing, and apparently had
been anticipated in the “sunrise” (Figs. 113, 113a).

Note that this camp-stool, as I drew it, really does appear to be
standing on water (Figs. 114, 114a):

For this little waiter, who follows, no drawing was made by my wife. Her
written comment was: “I see at once the profile of human face. Am
interrupted by radio tune. Something makes me think of a cow. Now see
two things sticking out like horns” (Fig. 115).

The following had no comment (Figs. 116, 116a):

Nor the next ones (Figs. 117, 117a):

The comment on this caterpillar was: “Fork—then garden tool—lawn rake.
Leaf.” I might add that we have a lawn-rake made of bristly bamboo,
which looks very much like my drawing (Figs. 118, 118a):

In the following case I drew sixteen stars, and you may count and see
that Craig got twelve of them, and made up the difference with a moon!
(Figs. 119, 119a):

Comment on the following: “Looks like a monkey wrench, but it may be a
yardstick” (Figs. 120, 120a):

In the next one, the curve of the worm is amusingly reproduced by the
bird’s neck. The comment added: “But it may be a snake.” Craig says this
is an example of how one part of the drawing comes to her, and then, in
haste, her memory-trains and associations supply what they think should
be the rest (Figs. 121, 121a).
