Description
Sizes

=========================
If you were as big as a giant flea,
How much would you have to grow to be,
The size of the tiniest head-to-tale,
Very-most-midgety baby whale?

I mean to say – and it’s no surprise –
Whatever you do about your size,
There’s always something a size or two,
Very much bigger or smaller than you.

I mean to say, what’s big of some,
Is small of others. Now get along home.
And whether you stay or wander far,
Be just the size of whatever you are.
=========================

(Takai found this poem she had copied into her grade school notebook, and I just thought that poem was too appropriate, fun and cute all at the same time. I just had to share it.)

Well, it’s been a long path to get to this point. I had no idea that my art would be so well received, or that I would make so many friends who shared my ‘interest’. I can’t thank you all enough. To my online friends, who taught me to come out of my shell, and showed me I wasn’t the only person in the world to have this fetish. To my RL friends, who didn’t freak out when I told them. (Except for my Brother. He kind of acted a little kooky for a while after that. Now he just thinks it’s funny. )

Of course, a huge thank you to my fiancé Takai. You inspire me to try so much harder, and to better myself every day. When I was working on this picture, I didn’t want to do a background. I always cop out when it comes to backgrounds. But she always knows when I can do better, and when I’m just taking the easy route out of sheer laziness. Thank you for being there to push me, and even if I get whiny, I always appreciate it. I wouldn’t be half the person I was today if you weren’t there to coax me.

Measuring Up
Okay, I know this question will be asked- Why am I measuring Takai’s ankle of all things? The answer is simple. Takai’s been trying to lose weight lately, and as you could probably imagine, it’s practically impossible to keep a running record of someone’s weight when their scale can range anywhere from 8 to 80 feet.

So then, to determine her weight, first we have to determine her height. Good luck measuring her head to toe. With a few creative applications of algebra though, we can find out just how big she is. Thus explains why Takai has a tape-measure-wielding Chibi wrapped around her ankle. Simple, right?
