I like to art in my pajamas

[beelikej]

So had a day off today and worked on my springflingthing. Finished it and was ready to hand it in to the mods, but now I started worrying. Because I didn't do a literal version of a prompt, but it's more the concept of it. I just don't want the receiver to think I ignored their wishlist as I was totally inspired by it, but I'm not sure if they'll be able to tell. *sighs*

Anyway, have a photo of my marvelous new dragon mat:


Bullrig from Ikea

Now I can't use the cold feet excuse anymore to avoid doing the dishes;)

Oh, I didn't tell you we have an Ikea here now, did I? It opened three weeks ago and I was totally gonna brag about it, but didn't get a chance to visit until this weekend. Unfortunately I was completely disappointed by the way they set this one up so I rather not talk about it. *pouts*
I'm just gonna be happy with my dragon mat.

On the way to Ikea my mom and I went over stuff we could buy (as if we had to have an excuse to go shopping;) and she mentioned having a left over book case from cleaning up her guestroom. So I could scratch that off my list. After we got back from Ikea we drove to her house to pick it up and now I have a big new bookcase, woohoo! I already filled almost two shelves with the books I read the past few months (that I had to leave in big piles on my table until now) and I still have room for all the books I will buy this year. Starting this week, because it's Boekenweek (Bookweek) and when I buy a Dutch novel I will get a special Boekenweek-edition book for free.

*roars with delight* The dragon is the same colour as my kitchenwall, it was meant to be:)

That dragon on the mat is the big sister of the tiny fingerpuppetdragonling!

I don't think it matters at all - prompts are often very loose interpretations in the end. Am sure your recip will love it!

Ahw, thank you for reassuring me. That's absolutely true about prompts; each person might also interpret them differently. Not being able to explain myself is somewhat frustrating though *grins*

That mat is awesome!!!

I think you'll be fine with your springfling. I don't think people expect a literal fill from their prompt. A prompt is just that, something to give the artist/author an idea, some inspiration. And I know you, bb, your creativity and your attention to your work. Stop fretting. *smishes*

That dragon is so funky, I love it!

Thanks for reassuring me; not being able to add notes to the art is slightly frustrating, you know how much I love to explain myself;)

Will try to wait patiently for the reveal when I can finally share my (thought)process. It's gonna be a long week. *clings*
