Three simple little penguins and a dodo (the fantasy version screencapped from a 1949 Looney Tunes cartoon which I adore :)

[vjezkova]

Well, the penguins are adorable and funny and I am still smiling at a dodo. And that about life is my favourite one because it is so true!:-)

[sallymn]

My life is totally that :\

[electricwitch]

I love the variation in the weight of your lines -- gives a real sense of actually having a body, and using it. You know?

Tells something about my maturity levels, butI did giggle endlessly at a word "blue tit" xDDD

That is just lovely. So soft and colourful! Just like the real bird.

In the 90s I once nearly bought a shirt with a picture of great tits on it (yes shut up I love birds so much I never even thought about the pun I just want a bird shirt ;_; ) before I noticed it had tiny text underneath them saying GREAT TITS and then i was like ...oh.

[jossujb]

Oh dear xD Great tits indeed, sound like an Austin Powers joke xD Or Naked Gun, you know "nice beaver!" xDDDDDD

In Finnish they're just called tintti or tianen, which have no other funny connections than comic character Tintin is called Tintti in Finnish.

But like, immediately when I heard what these are called in English they became my favorite pun ever xD Than and boobies.

[electricwitch]

Yeah same here with the Dutch term. Oh well. It was a really nice drawing of birds.

Boobies XD I love that too!

I finished the design for the recipe book cover! It took me two days because I had to trace the letters onto a new piece of graph paper first. I think it looks fantastic now tbh.

Sadly, I probably won't be able to post the completed version because it will take me the rest of my time home to trace this backward onto paper twice so I can cut the blasted thing out. That's the joy of paper cutting letters from design!

Anyone who can name the food stuffs pictured in this will get a prize!

[saki101]

I am in awe of the very idea that you are going to cut this out!

My guesses for the food are: baguettes on either side, broccoli and beet greens on the bottom, lettuce in the triangles?

[electricwitch]

I'm not going to be able to do it for naarmamo sadly, it takes too much time. But it will work out I hope lol.

Baguettes yes! And beets and lettuce. Not broccoli but endive. You're the only one to spot the baguettes hiding in plain sight lol.

[vjezkova]

And another stylish design! You have become a real expert. now the style looks like Art Nouveau that I like very much. Well, my imagination is not at its best, I can see cabbage, spinach? :-)
Cutting the letters? Oh dear!
