Update, November 13, 2011
This seems like such a long time ago! These are the first beasts I had printed for my new Etsy shop. All are hand drawn in black ink, mainly Micron pens, and the color was added digitally. I have since moved on to Copic Markers and far less digital coloring. Now that I’m an old hat at this blogging business (not really, but more than I was six months ago), it is clear this should have been a post rather than a page. Alas! I can’t decide what to do with it so I’m going to leave it with this note. :)

I am embarrassed to report I do not know the names of these two elusive creatures. However, I was able to snap a quick shot one day while they were doing that rapturous staring thing they do.

Penny has yet to get this bird to tell her his name. However, the bird did begin to talk recently. A banana bread recipe that he wishes Penny would get on with, and a riddle about a shoelace and a hare. None of us can remember how it goes, sadly.

It's too bad I couldn't fit their feet in this shot, as all three were rug-hooking like fiends. Dozing off only cuts their productivity by about forty percent, but just as I snapped this Grapeseed was startled awake by a passing trolley.


ohgoodgolly you are cork-poppingly talented! I’ve just discovered your blog and etsy shop, and I’m so ecstatic I’ve featured you on my tiny, humble, probably-never-read-but-fun-to-write-anyway blog. Honestly and truly your work is brilliant and your blog is a pleasure to read. Many thanks for sharing your work-in-progress posts and tips…very helpful and much appreciated.
I should mention that I use ellipses with reckless abandon…be prepared for dots run amok. ;)
