IF: packed



and here's a famous hungarian children's poem about chestnut:

Gesztenye úrfi

Hej, gesztenye úrfi,
Bundácskádból bújj ki!
Ugorj le a fáról,
Érkezésed várom.

Nini, itt van, koppan,
Fáról földre pottyan.
Futok zsebre dugni,
Jöjj, gesztenye úrfi!

    Great idea! My friend has a knack for finding chestnuts - I love watching them curl open. I can never find them.

    I love the colours of a new chestnut, fresh from the prickly case. They certainly are packed in well. Good idea for IF.

    I wish this little guy was in my backyard right now. Mr. Chestnut is just delicious, I mean cute. Really smart idea and play on the word.

    olyan békésen üldögél ott, csak ez a szúrós héj elijesztheti a látogatókat

    thank you Jen a! i love them too all around - their colours, flavours, shapes...

    hi Bill, what else could we do? :)

    thank you, Daniel, your works are awesome!

    thanks Frank, it hasn't made for a story because it's just become from an other character in a Moon's story.

    thank you so much Connie, Dot, Anna, June, Katie, Bee, Vanessa!

    hi, Tomás! i hope you found some special challenge!

    szia Levi! lehet, hogy csak - megelőzvén a klikkesedést - bezárkózott zenét hallgatni. sztereóban :)

    Ez tök jó! Ha most rajzot tanítanék még, bevinném órára, hogy igen gyerekek, a szemhéj ugyanígy takarja be a szemgolyót! És gömfelületról van szó, nem egy lapos deszkáról!
    Köszönöm a nosztalgukis elmélkedési lehetőséget!
    Ma nem kell becsomagolódni; süt a nap! Úgyhogy akár gyűjthetnénk ennek a magányos gesztenyének barátokat! :)

    Oh my goodness, I'm just crazy about your chestnut! Both him and his new friend above! (I LOOOOOOOVE his friend's expression as he's trying to strip himself!) Such a lovely pair of illos.

    Upon seeing this and your other Chestnut illustration, I could only say, "WHOA!" I love the way you brought the chestnuts to life. The design of the faces, the shells, and your style are excellent. Awesome, awesome characters.
