Cosy Photo Challenge [Closed Til Next Time!]

20200821_184315.jpg

Used to make forts like this in my living room all the time! My past self is probably let down by my current lack of creativity though haha
 
The story of the fort:
The main difficulty was working only with larger chairs/a sofa, and decently heavy blankets. Despite that, though, I was able to turn the sofa into a reading cave! If I had a flashlight other than the one on my phone being used to take this picture, I'd use it to light up the inside a bit better, but the general premise of the fort is that there are blankets draped across the sofa back, over the edge of chairs next to the sofa, with pillows supporting the blanket's sides. The 2nd chair is moved away for the photos so you can actually see inside, but once you get yourself in the makeshift cave, you can pull it towards you (or have someone else push it against the sofa) to fully enclose yourself in the reading cave/pod!

For challenge #7 is a photo without a name card ok as long as I take a second one with a name card? I was out taking pictures today ahead of time as I had a moment of good weather.

My camera focuses in on my name card and makes the cloud super blurry is why I’m asking. You can still tell it’s the same cloud but it’s a lot harder to see it in the name card photo.

I hope my doggies bed and three plushies are pillow-y enough for you guys!! I am not allowed to put pillows anywhere near the floor rip. Also my dog really liked the fort and threw a hissy fit when I took it down.
 
Hi, just a question– I know we're not allowed to submit more than one angle. But... Would it be possible to still post more photos, in another spoiler, while clearly knowing they won't count? Like, just to show it off? Or should I put them somewhere else

Hi, please only post the two photo versions accepted (full outer view and a close up of the interior). You could share the extras on the #fair-general Discord channel!

Here's my entry! I used two chairs on the left and the end of our couch on the right. The chairs were higher than the couch so I used two pillows to elevate the blanket roof. It's not super clear from the outer shot, but there's also two blue pillows on the inside to the left and back of the fort.

By the way, is there any way to know if our entries have been accepted or not? I have to take this down before the evening since it's blocking a door to our porch and we need to go out to water the plants. I'd like to make sure my entry is okay before tearing it down. :)

Looks good! Feel free to take it down if you haven't already.

Yes, as long as the name card photo is clearly the same place and time you are fine.

Cupcakes, Rowen McCool, Chopper, and Megan snuggle up to read!
4 blankets, 2 pillows, a book, and 4 plushies :]
 
This is the story of how I had to redo my fort three times... You won't ever know the story 🤭

Held up by the desperation of two doors and sweeping brush jammed between couch cushions, this work of art could be yours for £500,000. That's right; £500,000. Order now and I'll throw in a Bunnie Plush and a half drank bottle of gin for free!
