waiting, waiting, waiting,
for my food to finally be done.
one eye watches the pot,
and another watches the sun.
the dial inches closer,
it’s almost time to feast!
but so engrossed in my novel,
i don’t feel hungry in the least…
Inktober 2021 Prompt Vessel
I’ve heard of Inktober for quite some years, but I’ve never tried once. This year I decided to attend the challenge. It’s a great way to improve drawing skills.
Inktober Character Design
I designed this Inktober character for the September SVS contest. Can you tell I’m quite into Victorian era apparels? It’s fun to draw.
Albert’s First Day of School
Our fun-loving Albert needs to go school now. It is his first day of school, and he is not sure what will happen there. He plans to bring all his toys with him. “After all we’re going there to play, aren’t we?” thinks Albert.
I submitted this for an SVS children’s book illustration contest. It reached the finals.
A Home for Albert
What kind of home is suitable for Albert the groundhog who loves flying? A house with airplane wings of course! I added a swimming pool as a emergency exit for fun.
Character Design
I illustrated a character design of a cute groundhog who dreams of flying.
I submitted this for a contest in June. It reached quarter finals.
The Door I Never Open At Noble Bunny Manor
In the depths of Noble Bunny Manor…
… lies a little brown door.
Made of wood, the door handle has long become rusty. It is apparent that this door has not been in use for a long time.
It’s a door that I never open.
Nor does my hubby open it.
But you may be wondering:
"What’s inside?"
And the answer to that may shock you.
Within that tiny little room, behind that tiny little door, lies hundreds and hundreds of ugly little spiders who have made the room their abode.
But that’s not all that’s in the room.
Originally, the room was meant as a substitute attic (since we don’t have an attic), and was used to store antique furniture that we never used.
That furniture is still in that room today.
Since the furniture is antique, could they be possibly worth a lot?
No one knows.
Because… over the years… because of disuse… too many spiders started taking over the room.
And since we’re scared of most bugs, eventually there was no one brave enough to open the door and take the furniture out for appraisal.
So within that room…
… perhaps lies a fortune.
Or maybe not?
No one knows.
Because no one is brave enough to open the door and check.
But one thing’s for sure:
If you ever visit my store, and you notice me selling furniture there…
… know that…
… someone was brave enough to walk into that tiny little room at last…

P.S. It won’t be me! That’s for sure.
