Gasp!

Sorry if I've not responded to a message you may have sent me on here! I have so many, mostly anonymous, and there's no date from when they were sent... I haven't "tumbled" for a while and so it just feels funny to respond to them. So here's me saying hi! And to the numerous people asking if it's ok to tattoo my art on them, sure! I don't mind at all ❤️👍❤️

"Oh you may not think I'm pretty, But don't judge on what you see, I'll eat myself if you can find A smarter hat than me.

You can keep your bowlers black, Your top hats sleek and tall, For I'm the Hogwarts Sorting Hat And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head The Sorting Hat can't see, So try me on and I will tell you Where you ought to be.

You might belong in Gryffindor, Where dwell the brave at heart, Their daring, nerve, and chivalry Set Gryffindors apart;

You might belong in Hufflepuff, Where they are just and loyal, Those patient Hufflepuffs are true And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw, if you've a ready mind, Where those of wit and learning, Will always find their kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin You'll make your real friends, Those cunning folks use any means To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid! And don't get in a flap! You're in safe hands (though I have none) For I'm a Thinking Cap!"

They remind me of cookie dough… It’s like, not totally a seemingly finished product, but at the same time it is and it’s perfection 😝

Yea what's up with you guys deleting my art captions? I make the stuff and describe it and provide links to where to purchase and then you erase all that info that others might be interested in. What The Hay Rude Stop
