Happy Birthday de_nugis

[amberdreams]

A very happy birthday to my favourite Medievalist!
Many moons ago she and I collaborated on spn_j2_bigbang in a project that sadly left us with unripened tomatoes and wild turkeys flown the roost. But I did some art and thought, well, why not give it an airing to celebrate de_nugis's birthday? So here's one of the pieces I did back in 2012, kind of finished off. It isn't how I'd create it today but everything moves on, hey?

I'd still love to read the finished story, if you ever felt like tackling it again. Just sayin'.
Akcnowledgements have to go to the monk who painted the beautiful background border in a manuscript I poached. The garden Dean and Sam are hanging out is in in fact my Mum's garden. If Dean was to step to the left, you'd see my dear Dad pottering around in the background.

Ohh, I love the style, and all the detailed 'snapshots' around the border. The idea of Sam and Dean gardening, or spending time in a garden, is just heaven to me.

Beautiful! And happy birthday de_nugis!

Thanks! I'd done full pics for each of those vignettes and was going to alternate what appeared in the main pic and bottom panels for each 'page'. The fic (even in draft) was so lovely - Dean and his tomatoes was an adorable scenario.

Thank you! I still really love the manuscript concept, and the gardeny look of the garden, and Dean with a spade and Sam's big shoes.

I do think of that fic sometimes when I hear the turkeys going to roost at night or waking up in the morning. Maybe one day ...

I think this pic was a good idea at the time....
Dean with his garden and the turkeys has stuck with me, so I hope you might feel like revisiting this one someday! :D
