This is first hedgehog card I’ve done in 2018. I missed my tiny spiky mouse creature of joy. Inspired by ice cream cravings. Seasons here are very distinct. It is winter time with snow over ankles and some places up to knees. Still rather cold. Somehow I find myself craving ice cream more in winter time. Maybe it is all the snow and icicles that I was not supposed to eat when I was a kid or maybe it is just sugar addiction. Who knows?
Besides sugar addiction (oh c'mon, who can say no to ice cream every once in a while), I’ve started running again. Back issues seem to have vanished yay! ^^ It drew me slightly nuts not to be able to run. Funny how you can begin to love things you hate. The process itself still takes a lot of focus and pushing through, but the after effects are so worth it. After a while you realize, it really is the best, simplest thing you can do for yourself and your system. We are built to move.
I will leave you with this chocolate covered, vanilla cream, crunchy cone! Mmm!
Song of the day: Muse - Knights Of Cydonia
These just keep getting better and better!
I can easily see these as illustration to a children's book!
Top notch!

Thank you so much @beercake! :) I actually have considered writing like a fairy tale or story and illustrate it. Maybe I will give it a go some time soon.

I can say no to ice cream...

I can say no, but usually hand rises to grab it anyway. It's like it did not hear the no. Hehe.

I am struggling with this for near the first time in my life. I definitely don't exercise enough but I used to dance before too which I no longer have the opportunity for. Have to start...

Starting is the hardest part I think. Once you start and get into groove, it seems natural thing that must be done. I'm addicted to running now :)

I completely agree, I wish they would come to my garden at night like in my previous home...
My 7-year old brother’s card for Mother’s Day was a bit plain so I drew a quick hedgy in your style:
I also bought a personalised slate with my nickname and my brother Gabriel’s nickname engraved:
We really hope our Mum likes them, thanks for the inspiration :D.

Ok now I need some ice cream😋 My favourite is dark chocolate with rasberry. Love your illustration! It's not easy to paint with watercolors in my opinion. It always looks messy when I try

Yay! It was actually my secret master plan, to make people crave some ice cream. Seems like it works. Hehe.
Thank you :) It is not the easiest, but it is also very enjoyable. Sometimes messiness is what makes it interesting.

I ate some chocolate to get rid of that ice cream craving. That worked too! :D
I think acrylics are easier to use but the result is of course totally different so they can't really be compared. Anyway painting isn't easy and my pencil sketches always look better that the painted ones xD

Favorite icecream is always homemade ^^ Don't know if that category count, because it's way too unspecific, i just really love making it.
That hedgehog is adorable, i love that animal. In danish, it is called a "pindsvin", which translates to "stick pig", i really like that translation.
The ice cream going "out" of the "universe", or whatever you wanna call it works really well btw. They stand out very sharply against the otherwise blurry, flowing colors, and it's an interesting combination. I like it :)

You have the ice cream making machine? Never had homemade ice cream. Is it easy to make?
Thank you Emil. ^^ Oh, it is similar in Norwegian - pinnsvin! Awww!

My uncle has one, that i've used :) It is actually pretty simple, it's mostly egg yolks, cream, sugar, and flavoring (Vanilla beans, good quality chocolate etc). Using the right ingredients, you can make awesome ice cream ^^

Oh c'mon, do you have to remind me that I have to start exercising soon if I want to live longer than the average? ... AND you've made me feel like ice-cream without being able to get any right now... Hmph.
But the hedgehog makes up for all that! ;P Most adorable! Since he likes ice-cream so much, he should come to Brazil... I swear, they have so many ice cream flavours to choose from here!
On a different note, did you listen to the ELO album I mentioned? .. It is special to me.. (I'll explain why after you've heard it - don't want to give you prenotions of what you'll hear ;) ).

@mandelsage if you want to live longer than the average, you need to start exercising! :P (I hope you got ice cream by now, hehe)
Hedgehog is already on it's way. Floating in peaceful ice cream bliss. If you have so many, do you have favorite flavor?
Yes and thank you so much for recommending it to me. ^^ It just have this bittersweet feel to it. I especially enjoyed song 21st Century Man <3

Ooooh... 21st Century Man is essentially a theme song for my life! ;) I get goosebumps just thinking about it. If you liked that, I think it might be time for me to share my #1 best song ever with you, because you might very well appreciate it. I'll leave that for a different comment though...
The album is special to me because it was the first music I remember listening to just for the sake of listening to music. (My mother had it on LP - and the mp3s I have still have the slight scratchy sounds from the LP in them). It's special too because I've listened to it over the years and so it has the ability to take me back to many different moments in my life. And of course, the spacey, 80s futuristic theme is something I adore. I'm delighted that you took the time to listen to it <3
As for the ice-cream, I still haven't had any! ... A situation that needs urgent remedying! My favourite flavour is hazelnut and/or pistachio ^^ ... I generally love all the nut-flavours.
