Hey everyone!
Remember this pic I posted of The Little Sister, when she was (8mos) pregnant with The Niece?
Well, check THIS SHIT OUT, yo.
I am AMAZED by this. (Disclaimer: it takes 'not so much' to amaze me but you have to admit that there is AWESOMENESS here.)
My friend, the artist, turned this image into a one-of-a-kind, original, multi-media work of COOLNESS. (For the BIL, who bought it for TLS for Mother's Day.) (I KNOW. It's quite a romantic gesture for a picture that we all agreed should be named either, 'My Two Butts,' or 'Where Me Butt Be?'*)
Keep in mind that the picture, while great, doesn't do the original work of art total justice.
Check it:
Come ON, now.
The birds and flowers and figure and (some of the background sunflowers and other elements) are drawn, painted and then collaged onto the painting. It has texture and depth and it is charming and captivating.
I would say that even if she wasn't the best friend a person could have.
If you have a minute, check out my friend's totely rad art blog, read her description and leave a comment for a sister-friend. As a bonus, you get to see the cuuuuute cutie Niece on there.
Oh.
And the top half of The Little Sister's head.

*The 'Where Me Butt Be?' is a derivative of the age-old question, always asked, for some reason, with an Irish accent:
'If me balls be on yer chin, where me dick be?'
Oh. Huh?
You don't know that one?
Holy crap, LOVE. I kind of want it hanging in my house, except that's probably a little weird. Right?

That is a sweet and lovely gift. And as always, so many personal touches.
Although, I'm loving the Where Me Butt Be... Not so French though.

You guys didn't hover for the descriptions of the photos, eh?
I won't be doing that pose any time soon.
Because I want to LIVE.
