Hello again!
I have lots of new things to show you. I hope you like them, or at least they make you giggle a bit.

Giant monster pillows!
16 inch diameter
Their babies fit in a little velcro'd pouch on the bottom.

I've been really into making octopus creatures lately...
My first one... the pandopus

More illusive than the giant squid, happier than the fresh water dolphin, and quite possibly the only fish covered entirely with fur. The Pandopus is a mysterious crossbreed between a panda and an octopus. Scientists are baffled as to how this creature came about, because no panda has ever been recorded as being able to swim.
Nevertheless, this pandopus is being put up for adoption by the PCS (Pandopus Conservation Squad) in hopes that the Pandopus will find a good new home.

Modeled by the boyfriend. :D
About 6 in tall
Tentacles are 9 in long

The OCTOCORN

Even more illusive than it's relative the unicorn, is the Octocorn. Only spotted once by a native, this mysterious sea creature is already gaining much popularity from those explorers out on a search for the newest, most mysterious creatures of the sea. The Octocorn is on its way to becoming as famous as sasquatch or the lochness monster.

about 7 inches tall including its horn
Shorter tentacles are 9 inches long, the two longer ones are 12 inches long

Monsh the Monstropus

The Monsh Monstropus is the only known species of Octopus to have evolved onto land. It is able to stand up on all it's tentacles and walk clumsily about. They are most at home in the trees, where they swing from limb to limb using their long tentacles to grab and swing. At night they wrap their tentacles around a tree trunk and around themselves and go to sleep. They feed mostly on moss and mud. They're called Monsh because of the noise they make while chewing on their food (monsh monsh monsh) Unfortunately, this is the last known Monsh Monstropus to date. They are easily picked out by their predators in the forest because of their bright blue color. It may be a helpful camoflauge in the ocean, but it is like a bright neon target in the forests. Please help this Monstropus find a good home!

8 inches tall
tentacles are 10 inches long

& this Monstropus I just finished for a custom request

Three Fugee Monsters

Don't let Fugee's cute and cuddly nature fool you, they're dangerous creatures. Like the snake, a Fugee can unhinge it's jaw and swallow up prey over twice it's size. Anyone who's witnessed it knows it's a terrifying spectacle. The only place Fugee's can be found in nature is in the Galapagos islands. But now, with all the demand for exotic pets, the Fugee's are being imported all over the world. Domestic Fugee's are much more subdued than wild Fugee's, but make sure to keep your small pets clear of them, just to be safe.

Faxon the Fawn Kid

Faxon knew he wasn't like the other boys in class when he began to grow antlers. At first they weren't noticable, only Faxon could feel two small lumps growing at either side of his head. Then they began to grow, and branch out. Faxon's parents became worried and took him to the doctor and got them sawed down. But a week later they had branched out bigger than ever! His parents were in a panic, worrying about him getting bullied, getting into college, or finding a wife. But in all of this they never asked how Faxon felt about it. He absolutely loved his set of antlers. And because he never was embarassed, no one ever said a word.

My Little Monster-Teeku

Teeku's are one of the most expressive creatures in the monster kingdom. Their vocals can range from cooing and purring like a kitten, to screeching like car tires or exploding like fireworks. Accountable for these powers of sound are their enlarged mouths and vocal chords. With these gigantic mouths they can also make a very wide range of expressions, and you always know what one is feeling. What's even more unusual is, at birth, Teeku mothers must immediately tie their babies tails to a vine or some sort of rope. From the first moment of birth up until toddlerhood, they are filled with a sort of gas that is very much like helium. Once past a certain age, the babies will have grown their legs, and the gas will slowly leak out of them until they're able to walk about on their own.

Made six new pairs of monster earrings!

I've also been doing little "photoshoots" with my monsters & my friends, or myself. Just taking a backpack full to a pretty place & posing with them. Here's some of my favorites.
