IF: boundaries

illustration friday: boundaries

I come from a big family and in my youth I always tried to save the most
delicious part from my food for the last. But when the others were already finished,
I really had to defend my last part. I had to put up my boundaries...

Wat een leuke illustratie!
En dus werkelijk uit het leven gegrepen.

Leuke illustratie, grappig ook, herinnert mij aan een strip van Jan, Jans en de kinderen die ik vroeger helemaal stuk las. Jan doet hetzelfde als jij en catootje houdt dat niet meer vol en pikt het lekkerste stuk dat hij voor het laatste heeft bewaard van zijn bord ;-) ken je die?
Dankjewel voor de link, weer erg mooie illustraties gezien.

Oh, it often happens
may not have to live in a large family to defend a piece of chocolate that says: "Eat me, eat me, eat me..."
your drawing excellent, very good point to illustrate the theme of this Friday
congratulations (sorry, I can not keep writing, someone wants to eat my piece of chocolate)

Heisann!

I think you have had good use for this experience elsewhere in life, too.
Artistic illustrated ;:OD)

ik herinner me dat en dan vooral was het gebed een listig moment, God gedankt en jou stukje ei verdwenen

Haha, I like this. I feel like that sometimes! I think I eat slower that most people...

Prachtige tekening en overduidelijk weergegeven, nelleke! Zelfs je haar om je bord om het laatste lekkerste eten te beschermen:)

hihi wat een goeie vondst bij het thema.
zit je daar met je zorgvuldig gespaarde overheerlijke aardbei en de anderen kijken gretig met ogen op stelen .

Bedankt & thanks for all your kind words :-)

@Celine: nee die strip ken ik niet, maar het thema des te meer :-)

@art is jok(k)en: you slowly get to know me better ;-)

Hooo!!! I so understand you... really is universal (I think), to feel protective over our best food (or best part of a certain food) hehehe love the way you illustrated the theme!!! The hair is a good barrier I think hehe... should work!!

This is great! You probably also learned to never keep the best for last, it's too risky...

Thanks for the birthday song (sarcasm, anyone? ;-)) I'm still grinning... :-)
