Papercrafts, yeah. DF, sadly, no. No ideas. I am still struggling what did Esem say to Black, what did Zeg <placeholder> in Alak's absence, how did Olmul and his party do on their journey... Also, since I am developing advanced lines of these papercrafts, the older ones don't seems so satisfying anymore. Doesn't mean that I sent them goodbye, however.
One big tapestry sounds like great idea.
Well, these images basically mirror the life described with the text below.
In the first one there are three tadpoles in water.
In the second, there are three little frogs playing in wilderness.
In the third one, there is a judge mentoring young frog.
Then we have a large Luuwaurak sparring and training another youngling.
Then there is adult kevek, leaving his home.
Then there is marriage. A judge is blessing the newly married.
Then there are parents with their children, rejoicing.
Then there is a frog with a bunch of small frogs in front of them.
Then we can see burial. A judge near a lit brazier, and mourning family members on the other side.
At last, three judges in a room, with a clay inscribed slab, engraving tools, and some jugs.
The Ykewaka ones - There are two Ykewakaii, front view, side by side with the title. Under the verses, there is a little story mirroring the song, three Kevekii are happily strolling, when they meet an Ykewaka. The next image is the very three frogs, sad, laboring (crafting ropes and nets), while two giants oversee them. You can also notice how the environment changes, telling that the Kevekii were taken captive deep into home of Ykewakaii, a rocky wasteland.
The images all around on the sides don't tie to the song, they're just a sort of decoration.
Left side : There is an Ykewaka in a rainstorm, then some flower emitting light (might be as well sun, I'm not sure with that one
), big frog figure, side view, the shining moon, Qv'uaksna under some stars.
Right side : Haadees in a tempest, fire, burning in the nighttime, a frog swimming, and the sun.
Kevekii also gave a sort of symbolism to each pattern. For example, the zig-zag lines symbolise earth, mountains, when a frog has these on his legs, it marks their strength. Spiral is a symbol associated with wind, wavy lines with water, dots on backround represents stars in the night, and so on. Of course most of the time the patterns are just used to shape an object one can recognize, but it still gives a sort of nice flavor to the images.
