“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?” “What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do YOU say, Piglet?” “I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” Pooh nodded thoughtfully. “It’s the same thing.” ~A.A.Milne

This Pokémon card was transformed into a working piece of art using precision cutting and micro-electronics 🔥 The dedication is remarkable. 👏

Next to Piglet’s house was a piece of broken board which had: “TRESPASSERS W” on it. When Christopher Robin asked what it meant, Piglet said it was his grandfather’s name, and was short for Trespassers William. His grandfather had had two names in case he lost one. ~A.A.Milne
