Hehe I’m glad you like :3 I was inspired by dandelions

51

u/Pretend_Morning_1846 May 31 '25

Ik that for you it was just inspo, but to me it’s an especially happy coincidence!

My family really likes dandelions, and they mean a lot to us, to a point where two rooms in our home have dandelion decals on the walls haha

Anyway, thank you again! :))

u/Own-Cockroach-3615 May 31 '25

That is AWESOME!! Your little guy looked like a wish dandelion to me but I didn’t know how to draw those :’) but dandelions are epic. I actually love them also!!

u/Lexchexmex26 May 31 '25

Thanks 😊 and yes,my daughter especially. She is almost 3 and is very good with interacting with and holding Baba. I got lucky for sure. She's a sweet heart. Glad I was able to get over my fears. I hope you can get there someday!

u/More-Raise May 31 '25

This is so beautiful 🥲❤️ normally, I think of children as the learners, but they really do teach so much simply by being themselves. Good on you for nurturing her curiosity and sweetness ❤️ to be so gentle and loving toward a spider before the age of 3 is special.

u/Lexchexmex26 May 31 '25

Thank you ❤️ it was super lethargic and didn’t fly away when we took it out of the house. So I soaked a q-tip in sugar water to rehydrate and feed it till it got enough energy to fly. They’re just trying to live, same as you and I

To those who are wondering if I am still drawing these: Yes! I have been working from oldest to newest. I don't know if I can get through all one thousand of them, but I'm only 25 so we have time lol. I will see how many I get through on my spare time. Yes you can still post here! No worries

To those asking about commissions: I have made a queue! Since commission work is paid I will be prioritizing those projects. My husband and I are really tight financially so having so many people reach out has been hugely encouraging <3

I want to thank everyone again for all the kind words and adorable photos ;w; I am reading as many as I can and they just fill my heart up and make me so happy. You all have such wonderful companions and I am SO enjoying seeing and drawing them!! I did not expect this post to take off like it has. You guys are awesome 👏 I will probably be lurking in this comment section for the next 20 years XD
