Author: Last night, Matthew and I went over to the Ink Spot to see what Erica Flannes had worked up for me. I’d given her concept art, but I am not so much of an artist, so I made sure to include photos, lest I end up with a gigantic vulva instead of an Iris. What she’d worked up made me teary-eyed. I knew she’d come up with something beautiful, but once it’d been realized, I was so emotional and overwrought.
About an hour later, I walked out with the beginnings of my birthday present!!
(if you click the image, you’ll see a tagged version, which explains the flowers)
It’s done in a medium grey, so it won’t have garish outlines. I think we’re heading somewhere semi-realistic, which should just be AMAZING.
I’m going back next Friday, where we’ll be layin’ down some color!

Can’t wait to see it when it gets closer to being a finished product! Very tasteful choice, by the way.
Squeeeeeeeee!
Oh, that is going to be beautiful! So graceful!
EEEEEEEEEEEE!
I saw the pic you sent me last night but this is so much more clear and AWESOME! Once the color is in, it’s going to be so vibrant and amazing.
Just like you, loaf!
Awesome! Can’t wait to see with color.
I love it already! (and darn you for setting off my own tattoo wants again)

Wow, Deir – that looks amazing. Can’t wait to see it finished.
Makes me want more myself!
Whoot I figured out most of the flowers before I clicked on the tagged image.
Looks awesome hun.
Dayummmm! Nice!
That is really beautiful . . . I can’t wait to see it with color!

That’s wonderful! I hope we win Very Fashionable so that I can see it in person, and that you enjoy the rest of it every bit as much as you’re enjoying the beginnings.
